The Shattered hearts




Words have the power to either make or break us so we should always mean what we say and don’t say what we don’t mean. The trouble is when we have people who think that just because they mean what they say and keep their promises, they think other people are just like that and mean what they say and will keep their promises.
The deeper the wound, the longer it takes to heal. Time is a great healer but Allah is the Greatest Healer. What doesn’t kill us, always makes us stronger, we just have to continue on in our journeys and know that nothing happens without a reason and for some greater wisdom which we may or may never understand.
Hearts that have been shattered but rebuilt with Allah will always be stronger inshaAllah. The love and mercy Allah provides for His servants, no one else can; the trust and dignity Allah provides, no one else can; the hope and courage Allah gives, no one else can. People will always let us down, make promises they cannot keep, utter words which they do not mean but Allah is Al-Wadud, the All Loving, His love is pure and He never breaks His promises.  There really is no greater comfort in life other than knowing Allah is aware of how we feel. He is the All-Aware, the Provider, the Healer, the Caretaker of us all.

Ask Your Heart!


I've recently observed that the word NIKAH (marriage contract) in Arabic has 4 letters, the word Love  has 4 letters and our heart too has 4 compartments.Isn't that amazing. Allahuakber!

The prophet (saw) said: “Ask yourself for a decision, ask your heart for a decision (saying it three times.) Righteousness is that with which the soul is tranquil and the heart is tranquil, but sin is that which arouses suspicion in the soul and is perplexing in the breast, even if people give you a decision in its favor. (Mishkat)

Everybody has within them the sense to distinguish right from wrong. And each person will be held accountable for using this sense. It is possible to twist facts and get people to give the decision that you want to hear, but if your heart is not at peace with the decision then know that it is most likely sinful for you to act on it.
Unfortunately, if a person sins enough then the heart becomes dead and the ability to feel disquiet dies. 


The Noble Prophet has also said: “Leave that which causes you doubt for that which does not cause you doubt.” (Tirmidhi)



"Truly in the heart there is a void that can not be removed except with the company of Allah. And in it there is a sadness that can not be removed except with the happiness of knowing Allah and being true to Him. And in it there is an emptiness that can not be filled except with love for Him and by turning to Him and always remembering Him. And if a person were given all of the world and what is in it, it would not fill this emptiness." — Ibn Qayyim al Jawziyya

A Point to Note:Truly Allah Almighty gives some of his righteous slaves the ability to see with their hearts, what astronomers cannot see using their telescopes and what scientists cannot view using their microscopes.~Hamid

A Beautiful Heart.



One day a young man was standing in the middle of the town proclaiming that he had the most beautiful heart in the whole valley. A large crowd gathered and they all admired his heart for it was perfect. There was not a mark or a flaw in it. Yes, they all agreed it truly was the most beautiful heart they had ever seen.

The young man was very proud and boasted more loudly about his beautiful heart. Suddenly, an old man appeared at the front of the crowd and said, "Why your heart is not nearly as beautiful as mine." The crowd and the young man looked at the old man's heart. It was beating strongly but full of scars. It had places where pieces had been removed and other pieces put in but they didn't fit quite right and there were several jagged edges.

In fact, in some places there were deep gouges where whole pieces were missing. The people starred how could he say his heart is more beautiful, they thought? The young man looked at the old man's heart and saw its state and laughed. "You must be joking," he said. "Compare your heart with mine . Mine is perfect and yours is a mess of scars and tears."


"Yes," said the old man, "Yours is perfect looking but I would never trade with you. You see, every scar represents a person to whom I have given my love .I tear out a piece of my heart and give it to them ... and often they give me a piece of their heart which fits into the empty place in my heart but because the pieces aren't exact, I have some rough edges, which I cherish, because they remind me of the love we shared.

Sometimes I have given pieces of my heart away and the other person hasn't returned a piece of his heart to me. These are the empty gouges giving love is taking a chance. Although these gouges are painful, they stay open, reminding me of the love I have for these people too and I hope someday they may return and fill the space I have waiting. So now do you see what true beauty is?"

The young man stood silently with tears running down his cheeks. He walked up to the old man, reached into his perfect young and beautiful heart, and ripped a piece out. He offered it to the old man with trembling hands.
The old man took his offering, placed it in his heart and then took a piece from his old scarred heart and placed it in the wound in the young man's heart.

It fit's but not perfectly, as there were some jagged edges.The young man looked at his heart, not perfect anymore but more beautiful than ever, since love from the old man's heart flowed into his. They embraced and walked away side by side.

Heart of a believer.



















Prophet Dawood (pbuh) asked Allah(swt):
 “O Allah! All kings possess treasures; where is yours?”


Almighty replied:

“I possess a treasure which is greater than the sky, vaster than the Heaven’s firmaments, smells better than the perfumes of Paradise, and is beautiful than the Celestial Kingdom. Its earth is enlightenment. Its sky is belief. Its sun is enthusiasm. Its moon is love. Its stars are inspiration and attention towards Me. Its clouds are reason. Its rain is blessings. Its fruits are obedience, and its yield is wisdom.My Treasure has four doors. The first one is the door of knowledge. The second one is the door of reason. The third one is the door of patience, and the fourth one is the door of contentment. Know that My Treasure is the heart of a believer.”

A Golden Gift.
























A gift, whose color is neither golden nor silver, whose shape is neither square nor circle and whose price is unknown.
A gift, which is purchased for you,neither from a gold shop nor from a gift shop but from a sweet shop named        "My HearT"


I Love U...Shouldn't I?


Infact I should...Indeed I will.


Why? You may ask and you should ask...


I have an answer for it and here it is...


I love you because you are loved by the most loving one
(Al-Wadood) and here are few undeniable proofs to proof that you are loved by the creative creator (Ahsan-ul-Khaliqeen) who created it (love) and its residence too (heart).




Moreover,I hope you may be one among these, of whom Qur'an speaks about...


Indeed Allah (swt) loves those who are steadfast (3:146), those who are god fearing  (9:7), those who are kind (5:13), those who keep themselves pure and clean(2:222), those who strive/fight in his cause (61:4), those who put their trust in him (3:159) and those who judge in equity (5:42).


 The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said: "If one of you loves his brother, he should tell him that he loves him." - Imam Bukhari's Book of Muslim Morals and Manners.


A Beautiful and Creative fact:


The most smallest letter is    I
The most fragrant word is  Love
The most sweetest letter is  U


A Sweet and Neat Note: Truly, Love is such an amazing gift which never dies because it was created by Ahsan-ul-Khaliqeen ( the best of creators), it never becomes old too, neither its beauty fades away nor its fragrance disappears. In fact Love is a sweet secret by virtue of which foes becomes friends and strangers becomes spouses.~Hamid


A Simple and Humble Request: Share the golden gift with whom ever you think you should as I shared with you because I thought I should.

A Lovely Dua: O Allah! I ask you of your love and the love of those who love you, and for the love of every action which will bring me close to your love.

A love which sink you in to the pits of...






A boat requires water around it to sail smoothly,likewise a man needs money around him inorder to survive his life.But just when the water come inside the boat it starts sinking and finally get drowned....so also when money enters in to one's heart,it start him/her sinking in to the pits of proudness and remeber proudness is the prime quality of people of hell and not of people of paradise.

[Tagabun 64:15] Your wealth and your children are just a test; and with Allah is a tremendous reward.

[Tagabun 64:16] Therefore fear Allah as much as possible, and heed the commands, and obey, and spend in Allah’s cause, for your own good; and whoever is rescued from the greed of his own soul – is they who will be successful.

The Hardened Heart.




The slave is not afflicted with a punishment greater than the hardening of the heart and being distant from Allah. For the Fire was created to melt the hardened heart. The most distant heart from Allah is the heart which is hardened. If the heart becomes hardened, the eye becomes dry.
If four matters are exceeded in quantity, beyond what is necessary, the heart shall become hardened:
Food, sleep, speech and sexual intercourse. A body afflicted by disease does not derive nourishment from food or water, similarly a heart diseased by desire does not benefit from admonishment or exhortation.
Whosoever desires to purify his heart, then let him prefer Allah to his desires.
The heart which is clinging to its desires is veiled from Allah, commensurate to the degree that it is attached to them. The hearts are the vessels of Allah upon His earth, hence the most beloved of them to Him, are the ones most compassionate, pure and resistant to deviation.
They (the transgressors) preoccupied their hearts [in the pursuance] of the Dunya, would that they preoccupied them with Allah and the Hereafter, then surely they would have reflected upon the intended meaning of His poignant Words and Verses. Their hearts would have returned to wisdom, marvelously curious and [in possession] of the rarest of precious gems.
If the heart is nourished with remembrance, its thirst quenched with contemplation and cleansed from corruption, it shall witness remarkable and wondrous matters, inspiring wisdom.
Not every individual is endowed with knowledge and wisdom, and assumes its character is from amongst its people. Rather the People of Knowledge and Wisdom are those who infused life into their hearts by slaying their desires. As for the one who slayed his heart and vitalized his desires, then knowledge and wisdom is naked upon his tongue.
The destruction of the heart occurs by security [in this Dunya] and negligence, its fortification occurs by fear and remembrance. If the heart renounces the pleasures of the Dunya, it settles upon the [pursuance] of the pleasures of the Hereafter, and amongst those who call towards it. Should the heart become content with the pleasures of the Dunya, those pleasures [of the Hereafter] cease [to continue].
Yearning for Allah and His meeting is like the gentle breeze blowing upon the heart, extinguishing the blaze of the Dunya. Whosoever caused his heart to settle with his Lord shall be in a state, calm and tranquil, and whosoever sent it amongst the people shall be disturbed and excessively perturbed.
For the love of Allah shall not enter a heart which contains the love of this world, except as a camel which passes through the eye of a needle.
Hence, the most beloved servant before Allah is the one whom He places in His servitude, whom He selects for His love, whom He causes to purify his worship for Him, dedicates his objectives for Him, his tongue for His remembrance, and his limbs for His service.
The heart becomes sick, as the body becomes sick, and its remedy is al-Tawbah and protection [from transgression].
It becomes rusty as a mirror becomes rusty, and its clarity is obtained by remembrance.
It becomes naked as the body becomes naked, and its beautification is al-Taqwa.
It becomes hungry and thirsty as the body becomes hungry, and its food and drink is knowledge, love, dependence, repentance and servitude.
