this is your brother bu here for the
daily reminder now today I want to
discuss about the heart we always spend
our time caring about our appearance
caring about our health which is good
but that's what we focus on we spend a
lot of time trying to be healthy making
sure we look our best but what about our
hearts this is where everything comes
from this is where our faith is from the
heart this is where our true belief
comes from the heart and Allah mentions
that not only is it where uh our belief
is it's where we can get pure and true
satisfaction and content from Allah
tells us in the Quran referring to this
remembrance this of Allah this
remembrance of Allah and the effect it
has on the heart when he
says
[Music]
indeed with the remembrance of Allah do
their hearts feel content
satisfied so this is showing us the
benefits of this but how many of us we
don't spend our time on the we forget
these kind of basic in the morning the
duas in the morning in the evening the
reading of the Quran when we can the
smallest duas that we supposed to do in
the things we do on our daily basis we
forget them all of these come under and
we know the best is the Quran how many
of us we don't even spend 5 or 10
minutes reading the Quran 5 or 10
minutes but we spend hours and hours on
Facebook or watching TV or whatever it
may be and Allah describes those people
who constantly remember him constantly
think and Ponder and remember Allah when
he says in the
Quran
[Music]
Allah says those who remember Allah when
they are standing when they are sitting
and when they lying down and they Ponder
and reflect upon the creation of the
heavens and the Earth and they say Oh
Our Lord surely did not create this for
no purpose glory be to you and save us
from the punishment of the fire so this
shows us the status of those and should
encourage us to be of those who remember
Allah and going back to the
heart the great scholar and student of
the
Islam said that the heart
is of three types firstly the living
heart and this is the heart that loves
Allah and obeys Allah and loves
everything that Allah commanded and
stays away from all of that which was
forbidden stays away from the sh stays
away from the kufur this is the first
category and the best obviously of all
the hearts the living heart then he said
the second category is the dead heart
and this is the opposite of the living
heart it goes and strives for even
and for and for kufur and it likes all
that which is evil and bad and is
forbidden and it dislikes all that is
upon and IM and goodness and then he
went onto the third category this is a
very category I really want us to focus
on because and I talk about myself here
if we look at the third category maybe
most of us will fall into this and we
ask that Allah makes us be of those who
has the living heart and he said the
third category is the heart that is is
the unhealthy heart so it's not fully
living and it's not dead it's unhealthy
and he said what is it he said it is the
heart that does love Allah and does do
good deeds and does strive and does lean
towards Allah but at the same time it
leans towards aspects of kufur it leads
towards the Forbidden it leads towards
evilness so sometimes it will be going
this way to the good and sometimes it
will be going to the bad and if we look
at the reality
most of us brothers and sisters we may
find ourselves if we judge ourselves
that we are falling into the final
category so this should be a wakeup call
for myself and for all of us to increase
in the remembrance of Allah to strive to
be of those who have the living heart
and also went on to say and this is what
I want to finish on really he went on to
say how can we uh polish our hearts he
said the heart is like a piece of metal
or silver it becomes Rusty and the only
way to remove the rust which in our case
would be the sins the sins the rust Upon
Our Hearts is by polishing it with the
Vick of Allah so this is really was just
a short reminder for all of us in to
increase in the vi of Allah and strive
to be of those who remember Allah
abundantly and Allah says in the Quran
that those who remember Allah abundantly
They will receive much reward and until
I join you next time on the daily
reminder this is your brother
