When hearts submit

When the tyranny of souls increase and captivating desires control us, we should pay attention to the heart which is the source of all types of goodness or the hotbed of every evil and sin.

We, in order to lead the life of tranquility and satisfaction, have to plant in the soil of that heart the trees of submissiveness and compliance to the Lord of this universe. It is not enough to declare with our tongues morning and evening that there is no Lord to this universe except Allah, but the heart must certify that and feel happy for being guided to Him.

The sign of that submissiveness is that a heart would be pleased with the destiny of the Creator and of the things which He destines for the universe. Then, a person shall not bear an iota of malice to his Muslim brother whether he is a relative or not no matter he agrees or not with him. Moreover, he shall bear no hatred to those whom Allah granted some blessings because his heart has submitted to Allah and satisfied with Him as a Lord.

The heart shall not become fully submitted until it accepts the abuses of others in order that a person increase his scale of good deeds in the Hereafter. Moreover, a person should not see those abuses as slaps that should be rendered back, but he shall forgive and forget because his heart refuses to be contaminated by hatred that distorts its glory.

Goodness shall not return to the Muslim nation and to the confused mankind but when the hearts realize the danger in which they live then mankind comes back obediently and willingly to the fold of satisfaction and submissiveness, satisfying with the destiny of the Creator and happy with the acts of worship which they must fulfill because they are destined by Allah. Then, lips shall pronounce beautiful Dhikr, the face brightens with the smile of satisfaction and the meanings of acceptance, and the organs abstain from every harm and evil, and then we shall see some people whose features embody Islam because their hearts have submitted to Allah and satisfied with Him as a lord.
