A Sincere Letter Before Ramadan To Check Our Heart"

A Clean Heart
V/s
A Sick Diseased Heart





A salaam alaikum, my beloved Brother M,
I was thinking about you. I worry about you and something so important
came to my heart.
Today, we are very close to a lifetime chance of redeeming and
rehabilitating ourselves. Muhammed Rasoolalah sallalahu alaihi wa
salam said, of the meaning of, In the body is a flesh. If it's good,
the whole body is good. If it's bad or sick, the whole body is sick.
It is the Heart. My Beloved Brother, this letter to you is from my
love to you and my responsibility with you to try to help you to stop
and reflect, and to question the status of your heart and the status
of your intention.

Once you do that, you will gain the power, the strength, the
tranquility, the belonging and Allah will help you and support you in
the stormy condition.
If you win this battle against yourself and you become victorious
inside, Allah will take care of the external battle and whatever is
happening surrounding you.
Please, like I always say, Don't blame the condition. Don't blame the
storm. Allah is the owner of Condition. Once we become a slave to
Allah, he will take care of all our affairs. He SWT will give us the
victory inside and outside.

Remember, during Ramadan, you're fighting only yourself, your Nafs,
your Shaitan, the small one. (This means, your own personal Shaitan.)
All the other times, all year long, you're fighting yourself plus all
the army of Shiateen. ( A very large number of Shaitan.) The battle of
your Nafts and Shiateen is small during Ramadan compared to the battle
of fighting millions and millions of Shiateen the rest of the year.
There is a huge difference between going to the battle of fighting a
few compared to the battle of fighting millions and millions and
billions. Your chance of winning against yourself and your Nafts in
Ramadan is very great and much easier than any other time of year.
This means Ramadan is a golden opportunity to win and capture and
clean up and to know who you are. It's not the storm or Shiateen; It's
my Nafts. That's why I am sharing with you all these verses of the
Quran which emphasize the importance of the purification of your
Heart, you Niya (intention) and your goal. If you win it, Allah will
allow you to win everything. If you can not win the internal battle of
the status of your heart, you can not win anything.

My intention is for you to win, to gain victory, to succeed, to be
elevated in this life and the Hereafter. This you will never be able
to do so unless you win the battle within. I hope you comprehend my
message. I'm adding all these verses which actually are a small amount
compared to the rest of the verses in the Quran emphasizing the
importance of the status of the heart.

If we are living or associating with sick people, sooner or later we
will catch their diseases, especially if we already have some of what
they have. And Remember! Prophet saws, he saws used to make Dua to
Allah swt of the meaning of,
" Oh Allah swt, the One who change the condition of the heart. Hold
tight in my heart." meaning, hold tight on my Eman, my Hidaya
(guidance), my Niyah(intention). And do not snatch my Eman from me.

Allah swt gives and Allah swt takes. He teaches in Qur'an, Chapter 3
Al-Imran, verse8 -----"(They say), "Our Lord! Let not our hearts
deviate (from the truth) after You have guided us, and grant us mercy
from You. Truly, You are the Bestower."

This is what I saw in my life according to the teachings of Islam and
the words of Allah swt. Why does Allah swt give some people
Tawfiq(ability), but they can not receive it? Why can some stay
steadfast ( istiqamah ) with Allah swt and Why do some keep going up
and down without any ending?
For the sake of all these questions, let me share with you some of the
verses of the Qur'an related to the importance of holding tight in
your heart with your Iman and niyah and the importance of not
deviating from them. Be careful!

Please, my words are not intended to tell you, " You are not among the
believers!" or "You are a Hypocrite!" or " You are a disbeliever!" or
"You are a liar!" No!! No!!! I love you for Allah swt! You are my
brother in Islam. You are my giant tree. I respect you and I admire
you. I care for you and our relationship makes me responsible to share
with you this knowledge to help you, to support you and to save you
and guard you and to make sure you can succeed in your journey with
the pleasure of Allah swt with Light of Allah swt. The following is
something I learned. If the soil is corrupted, the soil is sick, or
the roots of the tree are sick, then the whole tree becomes sick.
Similarly, if the heart is sick, then the entire body is sick and the
mind becomes sick. You loose your stability and the journey of Eman.
You can loose a lot. Most of all, you loose your soul, your Eman, your
guidance and your relationship with Allah swt. But if f the water for
the tree is pure, the tree will have beautiful sweet crops. It will be
very healthy, benefiting itself and others.

Please, take what I tell you from someone who loves you and wants the
best for you.
The Momin's heart is with Allah swt and holds tight to Allah swt,
Begging Allah swt, remembering Allah swt. Don't deviate!
On the other hand, the disbeliever, munafakeen(the hypocrite) they are
the ones who go up and down.
At this time, before Ramadan, we should analyze, check, and question
the status of our heart and what it contains. We are surrounded by
environment and genetic weakness.

I consider this a crucial reminder for All the Believers on Earth,
especially at this time of life towards the end of time and the amount
of Fitnas (tribulations) and darkness. This makes out hearts very
difficult to see (coursing veil of our hearts).
My intention is to be aware, awake, and examine you.

If the heart is good, everything is OK, everything is all right. If
the heart has problems, our whole life has problems.
Again, please, read carefully what I am going to share with you. You
might find some of my wording scary or hurtful at times. But it can
also be a beautiful reminder and wake up call to build strength and
uplift on my journey of renewing my Faith, my Intention, and my
priority in life.


TODAY WE CAN, TOMORROW WE CAN NOT!

" I seek Allah's protection from Satan, the accursed."
" In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful."

Chapter6 Al-Anam, Verses43, 44-------43.When Our torment reached them,
why then did they not humble themselves (believe with humility)? But
their hearts became hardened, and Shaitan (Satan) made farseeing to
them which they used to do. 44.So when they forgot ( the warning )
with which they had been reminded, We opened for them the gates of
every ( pleasant ) things, until in the midst of their enjoyment in
that which they were given, all of a sudden, We took them ( in
punishment ) and lo! They were plunged into destruction with deep
regrets and sorrows. Verse46------46.Say (to the disbelievers): "Tell
me, if Allah took away your hearing and your sight, and sealed up your
hearts, who is there - an ilah (a god) other than Allah who could
restore them to you?

Verse25-----25. Of them there are some who (pretend to) listen to
thee; but We have thrown veils on their hearts, So they understand it
not, and deafness in their ears; if they saw every one of the signs,
not they will believe in them; in so much that when they come to thee,
they (but) dispute with thee; the Unbelievers say: "These are nothing
but tales of the ancients." Verses100, 110-----100. Yet they make the
Jinns equals with Allah, though Allah did create the Jinns; and they
falsely, having no knowledge, attribute to Him sons and daughters.
Praise and glory be to Him! (for He is) above what they attribute to
Him! 110. We (too) shall turn to (confusion) their hearts and their
eyes, even as they refused to believe in this in the first instance:
We shall leave them in their trespasses, to wander in distraction.

Chapter3 Al-Imran, verse144-----144. If any did turn back on his
heels, not the least harm will he do to Allah. But Allah (on the other
hand) will swiftly reward those who (serve Him) with gratitude.

Chapter2 Al-Baqarah, verses6, 7-----6. As to those who reject Faith,
it is the same to them whether thou warn them or do not warn them;
they will not believe. 7. Allah hath set a seal on their hearts and on
their hearing, and on their eyes is a veil; great is the penalty they
(incur). Verse74------74. Thenceforth were your hearts hardened: They
became like a rock and even worse in hardness. For among rocks there
are some from which rivers gush forth; others there are which when
split asunder send forth water; and others which sink for fear of
Allah. And Allah is not unmindful of what ye do. Verse225-------225.
Allah will not call you to account for thoughtlessness in your oaths,
but for the intention in your hearts; and He is Oft-forgiving, Most
Forbearing.

Chapter7 Al-Araf, verse100----100. To those who inherit the earth in
succession to its (previous) possessors, is it not a guiding, (lesson)
that, if We so willed, We could punish them (too) for their sins, and
seal up their hearts so that they could not hear?

Chapter8 Al-Anfal, verse2----2. For, Believers are those who, when
Allah is mentioned, feel a tremor in their hearts, and when they hear
His signs rehearsed, find their faith strengthened, and put (all)
their trust in their Lord; Verse63----63. And (moreover) He hath put
affection between their hearts: not if thou hadst spent all that is in
the earth, couldst thou have produced that affection, but Allah hath
done it: for He is Exalted in might, Wise.

Chapter3 Al-Imran, verse167-----167.saying with their lips what was
not in their hearts but Allah hath full knowledge of all they conceal.

Chapter5 Al-Maidah, verse41----41. O Messenger. let not those grieve
thee, who race each other into unbelief: (whether it be) among those
who say "We believe" with their lips but whose hearts have no faith;
or it be among the Jews,- men who will listen to any lie,- will listen
even to others who have never so much as come to thee. They change the
words from their (right) times and places: they say, "If ye are given
this, take it, but if not, beware!" If any one's trial is intended by
Allah, thou hast no authority in the least for him against Allah. For
such - it is not Allah.s will to purify their hearts. For them there
is disgrace in this world, and in the Hereafter a heavy punishment.

Verse52----52. Those in whose hearts is a disease - thou seest how
eagerly they run about amongst them, saying: "We do fear lest a change
of fortune bring us disaster." Ah! perhaps Allah will give (thee)
victory, or a decision according to His will. Then will they repent of
the thoughts which they secretly harbored in their hearts.

Chapter9 At-Taubah, verse45----45. Only those ask thee for exemption
who believe not in Allah and the Last Day, and whose hearts are in
doubt, so that they are tossed in their doubts to and fro.
Verse75 to 78-----75. Amongst them are men who made a covenant with
Allah, that if He bestowed on them of His bounty, they would give
(largely) in charity, and be truly amongst those who are righteous.
76. But when He did bestow of His bounty, they became covetous, and
turned back (from their covenant), averse (from its fulfillment). 77.
So He hath put as a consequence hypocrisy into their hearts, (to last)
till the Day, whereon they shall meet Him: because they broke their
covenant with Allah, and because they lied (again and again). 78. Know
they not that Allah doth know their secret (thoughts) and their secret
counsels, and that Allah knoweth well all things unseen?

Verse125 to 127----125. But those in whose hearts is a disease,- it
will add doubt to their doubt, and they will die in a state of
Unbelief. 126. See they not that they are tried every year once or
twice? Yet they turn not in repentance, and they take no heed. 127.
Whenever there cometh down a Sura, they look at each other, (saying),
"Doth anyone see you?" Then they turn aside: Allah hath turned their
hearts (from the light); for they are a people that understand not.

Chapter4 Al-Nisa, verse63-----63. Those men,-(Allah) knows what is in
their hearts; so keep clear of them, but admonish them, and speak to
them a word to reach their very souls.

Chapter7 Al-Araf, verse179----179. Many are the Jinns and men we have
made for Hell: They have hearts wherewith they understand not, eyes
wherewith they see not, and ears wherewith they hear not. They are
like cattle,- nay more misguided: for they are heedless (of warning).

Chapter10 Yunus, verse74----74. Then after him We sent (many) apostles
to their peoples: they brought them Clear Signs, but they would not
believe what they had already rejected beforehand. Thus do We seal the
hearts of the transgressors. Verse88----88. Moses prayed: "Our Lord!
Thou hast indeed bestowed on Pharaoh and his chiefs splendour and
wealth in the life of the present, and so, Our Lord, they mislead
(men) from Thy Path. Deface our Lord, the features of their wealth,
and send hardness to their hearts, so they will not believe until they
see the grievous penalty."

Chapter83 Al-Mutaffifin, verse14---14. By no means! but on their
hearts is the stain of the (ill) which they do!

Chapter13 Ar-Rad, verse28,29-----28. "Those who believe, and whose
hearts find satisfaction in the remembrance of Allah. for without
doubt in the remembrance of Allah do hearts find satisfaction. 29.
"For those who believe and work righteousness, is (every) blessedness,
and a beautiful place of (final) return."

Chapter22 Al-Hajj, verse35------35. To those whose hearts when Allah
is mentioned, are filled with fear, who show patient perseverance over
their afflictions, keep up regular prayer, and spend (in charity) out
of what We have bestowed upon them. Verse53 to 55-------53. That He
may make the suggestions thrown in by Satan, but a trial for those in
whose hearts is a disease and who are hardened of heart: verily the
wrong-doers are in a schism far (from the Truth): 54. And that those
on whom knowledge has been bestowed may learn that the (Qur'an) is the
Truth from thy Lord, and that they may believe therein, and their
hearts may be made humbly (open) to it: for verily Allah is the Guide
of those who believe, to the Straight Way. 55. Those who reject Faith
will not cease to be in doubt concerning (Revelation) until the Hour
(of Judgment) comes suddenly upon them, or there comes to them the
Penalty of a Day of Disaster. Verse 46-----46. Do they not travel
through the land, so that their hearts (and minds) may thus learn
wisdom and their ears may thus learn to hear? Truly it is not their
eyes that are blind, but their hearts which are in their breasts.

Chapter23 Al-Muminun, verse60 to 63-----60. And those who dispense
their charity with their hearts full of fear, because they will return
to their Lord;- 61. It is these who hasten in every good work, and
these who are foremost in them. 62. On no soul do We place a burden
greater than it can bear: before Us is a record which clearly shows
the truth: they will never be wronged. 63. But their hearts are in
confused ignorance of this; and there are, besides that, deeds of
theirs, which they will (continue) to do,

Chapter39 Az-Zumar, verse22,23-----22. Is one whose heart Allah has
opened to Islam, so that he has received Enlightenment from Allah, (no
better than one hard-hearted)? Woe to those whose hearts are hardened
against celebrating the praises of Allah. they are manifestly
wandering (in error)! 23. Allah has revealed (from time to time) the
most beautiful Message in the form of a Book, consistent with itself,
(yet) repeating (its teaching in various aspects): the skins of those
who fear their Lord tremble thereat; then their skins and their hearts
do soften to the celebration of Allah's praises. Such is the guidance
of Allah. He guides therewith whom He pleases, but such as Allah
leaves to stray, can have none to guide. Verse57-----57. "Or (lest) it
should say: 'If only Allah had guided me, I should certainly have been
among the righteous!'-

Chapter57 Al-Hadid, verse16----16. Has not the Time arrived for the
Believers that their hearts in all humility should engage in the
remembrance of Allah and of the Truth which has been revealed (to
them), and that they should not become like those to whom was given
Revelation aforetime, but long ages passed over them and their hearts
grew hard? For many among them are rebellious transgressors.

Chapter48 Al-Fath, verse11----11. The desert Arabs who lagged behind
will say to thee: "We were engaged in (looking after) our flocks and
herds, and our families: do thou then ask forgiveness for us." They
say with their tongues what is not in their hearts. Say: "Who then has
any power at all (to intervene) on your behalf with Allah, if His Will
is to give you some loss or to give you some profit? But Allah is well
acquainted with all that ye do. Verse18-----18. Allah.s Good Pleasure
was on the Believers when they swore Fealty to thee under the Tree: He
knew what was in their hearts, and He sent down Tranquility to them;
and He rewarded them with a speedy Victory;

Chapter47 Muhammad, verse16----16. And among them are men who listen
to thee, but in the end, when they go out from thee, they say to those
who have received Knowledge, "What is it he said just then?" Such are
men whose hearts Allah has sealed, and who follow their own lusts.
Verse29----29. Or do those in whose hearts is a disease, think that
Allah will not bring to light all their rancor?

Chapter58 Al-Mujadilah, verse22----22. Thou wilt not find any people
who believe in Allah and the Last Day, loving those who resist Allah
and His Messenger, even though they were their fathers or their sons,
or their brothers, or their kindred. For such He has written Faith in
their hearts, and strengthened them with a spirit from Himself. And He
will admit them to Gardens beneath which Rivers flow, to dwell therein
(for ever). Allah will be well pleased with them, and they with Him.
They are the Party of Allah. Truly it is the Party of Allah that will
achieve Felicity.

Chapter24 An-Nur, verse50-----50. Is it that there is a disease in
their hearts? or do they doubt, or are they in fear, that Allah and
His Messenger will deal unjustly with them? Nay, it is they themselves
who do wrong.

Chapter49 Al-Hujurat, verse7----7. And know that among you is Allah's
Messenger. were he, in many matters, to follow your (wishes), ye would
certainly fall into misfortune: But Allah has endeared the Faith to
you, and has made it beautiful in your hearts, and He has made hateful
to you Unbelief, wickedness, and rebellion: such indeed are those who
walk in righteousness; Verse14----14. The desert Arabs say, "We
believe." Say, "Ye have no faith; but ye (only)say, 'We have submitted
our wills to Allah,' For not yet has Faith entered your hearts. But if
ye obey Allah and His Messenger, He will not belittle aught of your
deeds: for Allah is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful."

Chapter50 Qaf, verse33 to 37----33. "Who feared ((Allah)) Most
Gracious Unseen, and brought a heart turned in devotion (to Him): 34.
"Enter ye therein in Peace and Security; this is a Day of Eternal
Life!" 35. There will be for them therein all that they wish,- and
more besides in Our Presence.36. But how many generations before them
did We destroy (for their sins),- stronger in power than they? Then
did they wander through the land: was there any place of escape (for
them)? 37. Verily in this is a Message for any that has a heart and
understanding or who gives ear and earnestly witnesses (the truth).

Chapter33 Al-Ahzab, verse4-----4. Allah has not made for any man two
hearts in his (one) body: nor has He made your wives whom ye divorce
by Zihar your mothers: nor has He made your adopted sons your sons.
Such is (only) your (manner of) speech by your mouths. But Allah tells
(you) the Truth, and He shows the (right) Way.

Chapter18 Al-Kahf, verse28-----28. And keep thy soul content with
those who call on their Lord morning and evening, seeking His Face;
and let not thine eyes pass beyond them, seeking the pomp and glitter
of this Life; no obey any whose heart We have permitted to neglect the
remembrance of Us, one who follows his own desires, whose case has
gone beyond all bounds.

Chapter8 Al-Anfal, verse24-----24. O ye who believe! give your
response to Allah and His Messenger, when He calleth you to that which
will give you life; and know that Allah cometh in between a man and
his heart, and that it is He to Whom ye shall (all) be gathered.

Chapter45 Al-Jathiyah, verse23----23. Then seest thou such a one as
takes as his god his own vain desire? Allah has, knowing (him as
such), left him astray, and sealed his hearing and his heart (and
understanding), and put a cover on his sight. Who, then, will guide
him after Allah (has withdrawn Guidance)? Will ye not then receive
admonition?

Chapter30 Ar-Rum, verse59----59. Thus does Allah seal up the hearts of
those who understand not.

Chapter47 Muhammad, verse24----24. Do they not then earnestly seek to
understand the Qur'an, or are their hearts locked up by them?

Chapter24 An-Nur, verse35 to 38----35. Allah is the Light of the
heavens and the earth. The Parable of His Light is as if there were a
Niche and within it a Lamp: the Lamp enclosed in Glass: the glass as
it were a brilliant star: Lit from a blessed Tree, an Olive, neither
of the east nor of the west, whose oil is well-nigh luminous, though
fire scarce touched it: Light upon Light! Allah doth guide whom He
will to His Light: Allah doth set forth Parables for men: and Allah
doth know all things. 36. (Lit is such a Light) in houses, which Allah
hath permitted to be raised to honor; for the celebration, in them, of
His name: In them is He glorified in the mornings and in the evenings,
(again and again),- 37. By men whom neither traffic nor merchandise
can divert from the Remembrance of Allah, nor from regular Prayer, nor
from the practice of regular Charity: Their (only) fear is for the Day
when hearts and eyes will be transformed (in a world wholly new),- 38.
That Allah may reward them according to the best of their deeds, and
add even more for them out of His Grace: for Allah doth provide for
those whom He will, without measure.


TODAY WE CAN TOMORROW WE CANNOT
Today we are getting close to the beginning of the holy, blessed month
of Ramadan. It is the month of the Quran, of reflection on ourselves,
of reflection of our hearts and our goals. It is the month to
investigate and ask ourselves, Where are we going? What is our propose
in life?
Take this article with an open heart and examine your heart and see
who you are. Remember that you still have time, you are still alive.
The door of Mercy of Allah swt is still open, meaning you still have a
chance, a beautiful chance! Allah swt is so generous and so merciful!
Arham al Rahmeen.

May Allah swt open our hearts to His swt words and wisdom and guidance
and grant us the ability to be able to listen and obey.

Remember what Allah swt said in Chapter10 Yunus, verses55 to
59-----55. Is it not (the case) that to Allah belongeth whatever is in
the heavens and on earth? Is it not (the case) that Allah's promise is
assuredly true? Yet most of them understand not. 56. It is He Who
giveth life and who taketh it, and to Him shall ye all be brought
back. 57. O mankind! there hath come to you a direction from your Lord
and a healing for the (diseases) in your hearts,- and for those who
believe, a guidance and a Mercy. 58. Say: "In the bounty of Allah. And
in His Mercy,- in that let them rejoice": that is better than the
(wealth) they hoard. 59. Say: "See ye what things Allah hath sent down
to you for sustenance? Yet ye hold forbidden some things thereof and
(some things) lawful." Say: "Hath Allah indeed permitted you, or do ye
invent (things) to attribute to Allah."
