my heart ♥

Oh, the title reminds me of one of the famous Indonesian song during my days in boarding school. Raise your hand if you know it! (well, of course I can't actually see your hand). The song is not really great vocally, but well, it kinda stuck in your head after hearing it for couple of times over and over again.

Anyway, that's not what I'm going to talk about.. It's about something else.

In one of the hadith,

Al-Numan bin Basheer narrated that he heard Prophet Muhammad SAW say,

"Surely there is in the body a small piece of flesh; if it is good, the whole body is good, and if it is corrupted, the whole body is corrupted, and that is surely the heart" (Bukhari & Muslim)

Got it? So, I think right now, my whole body is just corrupted, cause my heart is. This heart is so full with envy, jealousy, anger, dissatisfaction, greed, hypocrisy..all sorts of things, you name it. I personally think our heart is the most difficult thing to control. When you are angry, you'll just be angry. Even though it's not shown physically but the real fact is you are angry deep down inside your heart. And with the continuous whispering from the shaytan just make it a lot worse, right?

Astaghfirullahalazim. Don't let our heart stray away. I always try to keep that in mind. Let's do this. Fight our nafs! Don't let our nafs control us! Be a mujahideen fighting with our inner self to keep on this straight path to Jannah!

I wonder how black my heart looks. I wonder if I can bleach my heart with 'clorox' or something to make it whiter and shinier. I want my heart to fill with love for Allah, for Prophet Muhammad SAW, for the messengers of Allah, for my family, my friends..Ya Allah, please help me..

Allah said in the Qur'an,

O mankind! There has come to you a good advice from your Lord (the Qur'an, ordering all that is good and forbidding all that is evil), and a healing for that (disease of ignorance, doubt, hypocrisy and differences, etc.) in your breasts, a guidance and a mercy for the believers (Surah Yunus 10:57)

Those who believe and those whose hearts find rest in the remembrance of Allah, Verily, in the remembrance of Allah do hearts find rest (Surah Ar-Ra'd 13:28)

Remember Allah and read the Qur'an. Yup, there's a light at the end of the tunnel. Those are the remedies for this corrupted heart.

May Allah grant us with His blessings and guide us in His path towards Jannah. InsyaAllah..=)

Reminding myself before others~
