Is It The Heart Which You Are Asking? By: Dr. Islam Al-Mazeny [This
Letter send to MyIslam with Author's Permission] To a relativeÂ….
When she wanted to commit suicide, she gave up on a depressing life and false
hearts. She went through a personal and general depression!!!
Praise Be To Allah; His Peace and Blessings upon His Messenger Mohammad.
This was the dialogue that really took place:
My relative, who was about to commit suicide because of her depressing life
which was surrounded by liars and hypocrites, she experienced a personal and
general depression!
Why donÂ’t people just kill themselves?
Do they have hearts?
WhatÂ’s in life thatÂ’s worth to be living! Oh!Â…is it the heart you ask about??
There is nothing in this world which is equal to human feelings. They are
priceless.
Money can not buy love and definitely cannot make up for it! Even if one wishes
to sell ones own feelings, it would be impossible. One can hide them, can
tolerate suffering and sacrifice, can pretend to love but to put and have a
price for true love no certainly not!
Feeling is a fine aspect of life.. Allah created it to be above selling or
buying otherwise, life will worth nothing to death. Only life does bear
meanings that are dearer than the material aspects, even dearer than life
itself.
It is for no question worth living! As for those meanings: On top is: the love
of Allah is the Greatest, the only Creator; praise be upon Him! Just a minute!
IÂ’m telling you, donÂ’t be bored, why do people get bored of such love and take
for granted as if it is just redundant?
Just a preach? You donÂ’t know what love is really about, you donÂ’t know your
Creator! You didnÂ’t understand this life properly. You have nothing but
trivialitiesÂ… even less!! A little of knowledge, a shallow understandingÂ…
channels, cultures, bits and pieces that hardly weigh more than a mosquitoÂ’s
wing weighs !
Perhaps youÂ’ll take my words as repetitive Â… but you never really grasped the
soul of life, the depth of the cultureÂ… do you understand what I'm trying to
say?
You can only relate to what I say if you know two things: Getting knowledge
from the correct sources and getting an insight from the Al-Mighty the Most
Knowing. From those points on, youÂ’re free. You donÂ’t thank anyone for GodÂ’s
words but Allah himself. His words are the 'food' of your heart and soul!!
YouÂ’ll acquire the true love of Allah when you know His Names; Glory Him, His
deedsÂ… do you really know the true meanings of all His names? Can you feel the
meanings? Only then, will the love of Allah bless youÂ….
When you realize what the world is really about, how the universe goes around
scientifically, socially and mentally, youÂ’re not just a recipient but a
thinker with a mind of your own; and when you realize the vast seas of darkens
and the sun of truth, when your knowledge is not merely for personal interest,
not cold and pointless, but a knowledge embodied by the fear and sense of
Allah, the theory plus the practice, not to be memorized only, but a warm deep
knowledgeÂ… only then you will be able to feel the blessings of Allah in
everythingÂ…only then youÂ’ll know what love is really about! The love of Allah
is the love that has a real meaning, that is priceless and life is nothing
without it!
Those who really grasped the essence of the love of Allah are the scientists.
They are able to deeply know Allah through His creation so they become the most
fearful and most loving of Him, Glory Him. Those who didnÂ’t know Him are the
most miserable. They are the ones who have gone astray. Their hearts never
really knew Allah.... Let your heart be entirely and sincerely to its Creator
and let it be blessed with the love of His Messenger as well.
Love is an action rather than just talk.
The true believers are those who can really comprehend the great issue of pure
love to Allah to the extent of giving away the souls for Him onlyÂ… The
following are the love of those who believe in the Oneness of Allah and love
Him solelyÂ… The love of ones own parents would come after, and such love is
instinctive, otherwise mothers would have left their babies to die for the
comfort of their own bodiesÂ…. But Allah created them to be their offspring and
be patient to raise them no matter how weak they felt.
There is a great love also for the spouse, a very positive love, especially if
it is for the right person! Such love is indispensable for the peace of mind
and the lasting of the human race. It is crucial for enduring life and
overlooking mutual mistakesÂ…otherwise such partners wouldnÂ’t have been able to
put up with each other!
The love of good doing is another fine aspect of love. It is a great thing to
give people what compassion and mercy they truly need and to like doing good
for them. Hatred is only for the evil doers who deny the right of their Creator
upon them. Those are unworthy of peace or love.
Yet, we as believers should wish them to be guided towards the truth. The
believers are the ones filled with feelings of sincerity towards the world, not
the misguided empty hearted people!
You might still saying what all this talk is about? And why? I wish to show
you what the real believers should have to feel content and secure. We just
need to be patient. Our first step in this path is abiding by our Holy Book the
Qur'aan. Then we have the sayings of His Prophet, may peace be upon him. We
have the love of our Creator, the Only True Creator! He is our best company.
People can give up on us but not Him !Angels will then be praying and
accompanying us if only our hearts are truly devoted, all our deeds and sayings
should be entirely for the sake of Allah, only when we know who our Creator
really is that we will find the true meaning of happiness!
It would be a treasure we must be very grateful for and to always praise
Allah. Praising Him encompasses thanking. Not just the spoken thanks but it is
interpreted through actionsÂ…We are asked to get closer to Allah in order to
know Him better. We are asked to worship more sincerely and Allah will help us
so we can deeply understand.
Through hope and prayers, giving and good doing (set forth by Qur'aan and
Sunnah); through comprehensive knowledge that should lead to the knowing of the
Creator; what He wants from and for us; what makes Him angry; or how He had the
whole universe; and who we are: what are our roles and to where are we heading
to?; how is our destiny should be? How will life matters work? To know instead
of being ignorant and arrogant! Then through all that, we will be enlightened
just like a full moon in the night of a spring time with stars shining all
around. Such a vision will take our soul high up above and grant the heart its
peace and purity.
Life will be tolerable no matter of all the hardships. However our lives might
seem limited and filled with obstacles to some. We can go through it with
confident contended hearts. We are totally engaged with working for the life
after rather than this one only Â…Paradise is the reward in the hereafter. It is
where weÂ’ll find our beloved ones and our blessingsÂ… We will keep hoping and
trying to always be the best and never despairÂ… The Prophet went ahead of us.
He suffered a lot in this life. He was once granted a lot of money but gave it
all away and went back to his home. He would just devote his life and soul for
his Creator awaiting the greatest reward! The hope and blessing of getting a
look at the Al-Mighty Allah in the life after is the best that any believer can
wish for!
The Prophet was always with Allah in his heart and mind. He understood, the
enemy, Quraysh(his own tribe who were enemies to him) did not bother him.
Neither the Romans nor the fear or hunger would make him gave up! He is only
occupied with one thing, Allah is pleased with him! Allah, is the Creator of
Heaven and earth, who controls everything, is the only one that the Prophet
really loved. The pleasing of Allah is the Mohammad utmost mission. The price
is undoubtedly Paradise! He once turned down all proposals and temptations from
his uncle. Not if they put the sun in my right hand and the moon in my left
hand, "IÂ’ll still not give up on this faith", he said! He is away high up there
now, can you understand that?
Life is but a journey. We choose our way by ourselves. We make our choices of
immortality. Would that be a loss? So let it be! Let us lose then! The wise is
the patient and the thankful! Thus one would happily pass away and hope to be
resurrected and shaded with the Al-Mighty shade of His Throne. The losers are
the ones who read the Qur'aan without a deep understanding of the meanings of
the words. Those are the people who canÂ’t help themselves. A person with a
sound mind can realize where the ship of rescue is and seek for it! The wise is
the one who can tell who are the right followers and the misguided ones. Those
who donÂ’t know what are the meanings of the Names of Allah and feel the beauty
of them; they are the deprived!
They didnÂ’t know how to learn from the history; to think about the world
around and read more insightfully. They were deprived from realizing AllahÂ’s
greatness and His Mighty company.
They came into this world and will depart with absolutely nothing!
What a shame!!!
