TEMPTATIONS IN LIFE CAN BE BLESSINGS FROM ALLAH or EVIL PLOT FROM SHEITAN TO DEVIATE US INTO HELL FIRE
THE DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yaum ath-thalaatha, 5th day of Safar (Tuesday 22nd Sept. 2020).
*_TEMPTATIONS IN LIFE CAN BE BLESSINGS FROM ALLAH or EVIL PLOT FROM SHEITAN TO DEVIATE US INTO HELL FIRE_*. BismilLah.
Our beloved Messenger of ALLAH (sal Allahu alaihi wa sallam) said: “Temptations are presented to the heart, one by one. Any heart that accepts them will be left with a black stain on the heart, but any heart that rejects them will be left with a mark of purity, so that hearts are of two types: a dark heart that has turned away and become like an overturned vessel, and a pure heart that will never be harmed by temptation for as long as the earth and the heavens exist. The dark heart only recognizes good and denounces evil when this suits its desires and whims.” [Muslim, Kitab al-eeman].
Acts of obedience are essential to the well being of the heart of the servant of ALLAH, just in the same way that food and drink are to that of the body. All wrong actions are the same as poisonous foods, and they inevitably harm the heart.
Giving in to temptations and disobeying ALLAH (subhana wa ta’ala) poison the heart and cause its sickness and ruin. Like an overturned bowl cannot hold any water in it, an overturned heart cannot hold any eemaan in it and the blessings of ALLAH is kept on hold till we return to obedience mode.
Refusing temptations, on the other hand, polish and illuminate the heart, filling it with eemaan and making it more beloved to ALLAH (subhana wa ta’ala).
*_May ALLAH keep guiding us, forgive our mistakes and grant us Jannatul Firdaus with HIS RAHMA not by our deeds_*. Aameen.
