Where is your heart?

I’m asking you, “where is your heart?” Where is it? Long time ago, it was used to say: “your heart is bound to the treasures and money you’ve got.” One fellow’s heart is bound to the jewelry he bought for his wife. One another fellow’s heart is stuck to the money he has deposited in the bank. Whereas the third fellow’s heart is bound to the lost he has sustained in stock exchange. That was the case before, but frankly it is now more much worse. Where is your heart? Is it with you women; playing with it like a toy? What have you done with it? Hearts are inconstant; they change each hour like a feather blown by the wind turning it upside down. Your heart condition now is different from the one you’ve had an hour ago, and it will certainly differ after an hour and so on. A heart is labeled “inconstant” because of its changeable nature. To confirm to God’s religion is a serious and elevated matter because it is directly related to the heart which is in turn inconstant. May Almighty confirm our hearts to follow the religion properly; seeking his obedience till the Day of Judgment. He is All Powerful. My brother, dear one. Let us slow down and question ourselves tonight: “which heart is yours?” Is it still fettered to Lust? Poor you! Are you still preoccupied with you belly and Lust? Poor you! Are you still living for appearances and worldly pleasures?! Isn’t it time for your heart to get released to the open space of worship? Poor you! Are you still content with a worldly richness or a transient lust? Thinking not of your destiny. If elements of faith dominate, the heart will become healthy, by God’s grace. Whereas if elements of hypocrisy dominate, the heart will become regressed. It means confusing good with evil, and evil with good, without any distinction whatsoever between the two. Resist God in that He orders, and care less for His commands like righteousness toward the parents. No more that he establish worship or pay the poor-due God says, “For he neither trusted nor prayed. But he denied and floated.” (75/31-32). This kind of heart is the one we call “a Regressed Heart” which is one of the most important earthly punishments for those who disobey. Many person have such regressed heart which are extremely cold and merciless. That if one of them sees a blind man trying to cross the street he will not try to help him. He will also commit sins fearing neither God nor people, God forbid! Is this YOUR HEART? Why are you fleeing away? Is this really your heart? Take it easy, calm down, and now tell me frankly. Is this your heart? Do you have an earthly hearted which is satisfied when all your wishes are granted and discontent when they are not?! Is this your heart? A heart searching only for a thing to eat, a car to drive, and a place to visit? Caring only how, when and where to sleep?! Thinking merely of the ones your will befriend! Is this you?! Poor you! What a regressed heart you have! Hasn’t your heart felt the sweetness of prostration; being close to Him? For what have you sold these entire priceless things? You people who are desperate, bored, weary, lost and in pain. Haven’t I told you we long for opening a hospital for curing with belief! Yes, curing with belief. We are in need of such a thing. People who complain that their hearts are not at rest. That their hearts are in pain; worrying about life, children and everything else. No! There is but a sole cure for all these things. “Verily in the remembrance of Allah do hearts find rest” 13/28. Your heart will not find rest until you remember God. Do you want your heart to find rest and be filled with goodness; caring not for earthly life whatsoever. Fill your heart with the remembrance of God. At this time of moment, let us make a promise of commitment. Here is my hand, a promise of commitment. Right now, and before God, hand in hand. Make a covenant that you will follow the path to God. What are you waiting for? Give me your hands and come towards Him.
