3 Motivational Tip

4 The Most Precious Possession – Our Heart Two precious assets: Time & Heart Heart is the center of our spiritual existence. All important activities such as Iman, Ikhlaas, loving Allah, tawakkul, Sabr, Shukr are functions of heart! People do not continue doing good. Why? Because heart is corroded!

5 The Most Precious Possession – Our Heart The Prophet pbuh had said: Beware! There is a piece of flesh in the body. If that is good, the whole body is good and if that is corrupted, the whole body gets corrupted.” On the day of judgment, wealth and children will not benefit. Only the one who comes with a ‘sound heart’ (free from evils) [26:89]. So, how to maintain it? Keep it clean?

6 The Most Precious Possession – Our Heart Allah says about the Qur’an, “O mankind! there hath come to you an exhortation from your Lord and a healing for the (diseases) in your hearts, …” [10:57]. How can anyone give a better cure than what Allah has prescribed? Other cures: Remembering death, doing zikr and Istighfar, establishing regular prayers, avoiding sins, helping orphans and others, committing ourselves to Islamic activities.
