Purity of the Heart

Bismillah ar-Rahman ar-Raheem
Assalammualaikum wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatuhu

He (Allah) who created the sky, land and sea

In the name of Allah, The Most High, al-Azeez wal-Muqtadir, where nothing happens without His Will, the Provider of Sustenance, the Most Merciful towards His creations, Most Loving towards those who strive to gain His Love, The Pardoner to those who sinned, al-Awwal, al-Akhir, az-Zahir, al-Batin.

Peace and salutations be to our beloved Messengers (a.s.) and to the seal of the prophets, Muhammad ibn Abdullah (s.a.w.), his family, his companions, the
tabi'ien, the scholars, ulama', the mujahideen and the muttaqeen wal-mukhlisin who sold their soul and wealth fi sabilillah.

Ighfirly ya Allah

As the age ripens and the land become coarse with tests and sometimes it feels as if you are treading on thin ice - being so careful that any signs of risk made you tremble. O' dear heart, quit worrying about the world, quit worrying about your nafs, quit worrying about what is not yet yours. O' heart, cleanse yourself of the stains of the sinning parts of your body that darkens the mirror to the soul and to your Creator. Astaghfirullah hal azheem.

Yahya ibn Muaz r.h. said:

Endeavor against your soul through obedience and spiritual exercise. Spiritual exercise entails sleeping less, speaking less, bearing the insults of people and eating less. Less sleep creates purity of intentions. Speaking less creates security from hardships. Bearing the insults of people enables you to reach your goals. And eating less causes the death of your desires. This is because, excessive eating causes the heart to become hard and to lose its lustre. The light of wisdom is hunger while eating to one's fill causes one to go further away from Allah.

Dear brother and sister, please make du'a for everyone. May Allah grant us His Light and al-Huda so that we can tread on this path with patience and in continuity. May Allah accept our deeds that are done with ikhlas and laced with ihsan. This world is a temporary abode, may we make use of it well to achieve everlasting peace and tranquility. Insya Allah.

Allahumma inna nas aluka ridhaka wal jannah, wa na'udzubika min sakhatika wan naar
