THE DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yaumul Jumuat, 23rd day of Dhul Qaādah (Friday 26th July, 2019).
*_PURIFICATION OF OUR HEARTS_*. Bismillahir Rahmaanir Raheem.
Our beloved Messenger of ALLAH (sal Allahu alaihi wa sallam) was asked: “Who are the best type of people?” He replied: “A person who is truthful in his speech and Makhmoom in his heart.” the companions asked: “We know what is truthful speech, but what is a Makhmoom heart?” He (sal Allahu alaihi wa sallam) responded: “It is a pure pious heart that does not have envy, evil or spite.” [Ibn Maajah]. Now let's consider this short story to understand our reminder this morning:
A teacher once told each child in her troublesome class to bring a plastic bag and some potatoes. Each child should put in their bag as many potatoes as the number of people they hated. Some brought two potatoes in a bag, some three and some up to five. The teacher then told the children to keep their potato containing plastic bags by their sides for a full week, carrying them with them wherever they went.
The days passed and the children began to complain as the potatoes started to rot and smell. Besides, those with more potatoes also had heavier bags to carry. The children were relieved when the week was over. Then the teacher told them the lesson they were to learn from this exercise. She said:
“This is what your situation is when you harbour grudges, envy or spite inside your heart. The stunch of their evil goes with you wherever you go. Even if you can’t smell it anymore because you’ve gotten used to it, others you come in contact with will smell it, dislike it and want to stay away.” Get use to your bad relatives, friends and loved ones and use your actions to get them out of their mess instead of hating them.
Remember today is Friday so please remember to recite suratul Kahf that's Quran chapter 18, perform ghusul, recite more Zikir especially Salaat Alan Nabi.
*_May ALLAH have mercy on us and forgive our sins_*. *_May ALLAH aid us to forgive those who have wrong us and those we've wronged_*. Aameen.
