Has Your Heart Died?

Abu Is’haq Ibrahim was once passing through a bazaar in Basrah when he was asked: “O Abu Is’haq, verily Allah has declared ‘Ask Me and I will grant you your requests.’ Why is that when we ask, He does not grant us?” Abu Is’haq replied: “It’s because your hearts have become dead, and this is due to ten reasons”.

Ten reasons why hearts die?
1. You have known who God is, yet have not fulfilled your duties.
2. You have read the Qur’an, yet have not practiced upon it.
3. You have proclaimed the love of the Messenger, yet you have not followed his traditions (sunnah).
4. You have declared that satan is your enemy, yet you have stood with him.
5. You have declared your desire for paradise, yet you have done nothing to achieve it.
6. You have declared your fear of Hell, yet you have done nothing to escape it.
7. You have proclaimed that there is no escape from death, yet you do not prepare for it.
8. You have indulged in searching the faults of others, yet you have not looked for your own faults.
9. You have enjoyed all the blessings and bounties, yet you do not give Him due praise for it.
10. You have buried your dead but you have taken no lesson from it.

Assalamu Aleykum
JazzakAllah for that, a really good daily reminder!
Number 10 stands out for me, we know that this life is transitory yet we seem to sometimes get trapped into worldly things.
We are all going to taste death, no escape. May Allah keep us on the right path and constantly remind us that we are only here on earth for one thing – to serve Him and to follow the Sunnah, in order to earn a place in Jannah. Ameen!

Wa Salamu Aleykum

Daqaq (Ra) says, 'Who ever remembers death frequently, will benefit in three ways: he will hasten to repent, he will become content, and he will be active in worship. Whoever forgets death will be punished in three ways: he will delay repentance, he will no longer be content with what is sufficient, and he will be lazy in worship'
