Heart Softeners - Day 1
We live in a world where heartlessness is becoming increasingly common, compassion is seen as a weakness and empathy is lost upon us. We live in a time where crying is for the weak, and heartlessness is considered a strength.
It seems ironic to live in a generation wherein society appreciates kindness and compassion, and yet they also influence us to be someone else.
If I ask you, when last did you cry, what will your answer be? A sign of a soft heart is one that is moved to tears easily by the truth or by sadness.
ALLAH says,
يَوْمَ لَا يَنفَعُ مَالٌ وَلَا بَنُونَ
إِلَّا مَنْ أَتَى اللَّهَ بِقَلْبٍ سَلِيمٍ
(Qur’aan, 26:88-89)
“The day when wealth and sons help not (any man); Except him who comes to ALLAH with a sound heart (free from evil).”
We’ve injected so much materialism into our lives that it’s easier to not entertain thoughts of the hereafter. We’d rather immerse ourselves into the next YouTube video, than sit and reflect on our actions and mistakes.
With the unprecedented lockdown, practically unheard of in the past, a looming fear of the future and so much uncertainty in the present, this could very well be the best time to put a lockdown on the distractions and reflect on who you, what your purpose is, what you want from life, what kind of heart you have and whether it’s the heart you’ll want to present to ALLAH on the Day of Qiyamah.
ALLAH knows best
Remember me in your du’aas
