Need a polish?
As-salamu alaykum dear brothers and sisters,
Hope this reaches you in the best of health and eman in sha Allah.
"There is a polish for everything that takes away Rust;
and the polish for the heart is the remembrance of Allah."
and the polish for the heart is the remembrance of Allah."
(Bukhari)
Note:- The polish for a rusty heart is the dhikr of AIlah. This is because [dhikr] is like a polish [which polishes the heart] like a shiny mirror.
When dhikr is left, the rust returns.
But when dhikr resumes, then the heart is again polished.
Ibn Qayyim al-Jawziyya (rahimahullah) said:-
“Doubtless, a heart grows tarnished like brass or silver, and its polish is by remembrance, which may make it shine like a crystal mirror.
So when one neglects the remembrance it tarnishes,
and when he returns it shines.
Since the heart is tarnished by two things- heedlessness and sin- it is polished by two things:
remembrance and asking forgiveness.”
-Ibn Qayyim al-Jawziyya-The Invocation of God.
My ' Salaams' To You All.
