Islam teaches the importance of purity of belief and heart. It warns against polluting the heart with doubts or defiling it with desires. In times when people are far from the guidance of the Prophet, the need to hold fast to the sources of Islam becomes even more important. The Prophet said, "No time will come upon you but the time following it will be worse than it.  (Al-Bukhari) 1 One of the effects of temptations is that anyone who leans toward them will be affected by their corruption. The Prophet said, "And whoever looks at them [temptations], they will take hold of him."  (Bukhari)2 Pure and true Islam teaches the importance of following the two lights: the Quran and the Sunnah. It warns against anything that goes against them, as it leads to corruption of the heart. When doubt enters the heart, it is difficult to remove it. Imam Ibn Taymiyyah, may Allah have mercy on him, said: "When a servant exposes himself to misfortune, Allah leaves him to himself....

  Avoiding Sins The heart fluctuates in this life between hardness and softness. When sins accumulate, it becomes hardened, and when a servant increases in acts of obedience, the heart becomes softened. Sins have ugly consequences if they are committed hastily or accumulated. A spark may burn down a whole town, and sins are like shackles around people's necks, and destruction comes from persisting in them. Blessings disappear with sins, and retribution and punishment follow. The sinner finds that every matter he turns to is closed off or difficult to achieve. Sins diminish the blessings of life. Whatever goodness the servant may miss out by committing a sin is multiplied many times compared to the pleasure and enjoyment gained from it. The punishment for wrongdoing will eventually come, even if it is delayed. Allah, the Most High, says :"  لَّيْسَ بِأَمَانِيِّكُمْ وَلَآ أَمَانِىِّ أَهْلِ ٱلْكِتَـٰبِ ۗ مَن يَعْمَلْ سُوٓءًۭا يُجْزَ بِهِۦ وَلَا يَجِدْ لَهُۥ مِن دُونِ ٱللَّهِ وَل...

Seeking forgiveness is the cause for the forgiveness of sins, entry into paradise, warding off calamities, and the increase of wealth and children. Allah, glorified be He, says:  فَقُلْتُ ٱسْتَغْفِرُوا۟ رَبَّكُمْ إِنَّهُۥ كَانَ غَفَّارًۭا ١٠ يُرْسِلِ ٱلسَّمَآءَ عَلَيْكُم مِّدْرَارًۭا ١١ وَيُمْدِدْكُم بِأَمْوَٰلٍۢ وَبَنِينَ وَيَجْعَل لَّكُمْ جَنَّـٰتٍۢ وَيَجْعَل لَّكُمْ أَنْهَـٰرًۭا ١٢ "So I said, 'Ask forgiveness of your Lord. Indeed, Indeed, He is ever a Perpetual Forgiver. He will send [rain from] the sky upon you in [continuing] showers and give you increase in wealth and children and provide for you gardens and provide for you rivers.'"   (Surah Nuh : Ayat 10-12) It is also a means for a happy life and abundant blessings. Allah, glorified be He, says: وَأَنِ ٱسْتَغْفِرُوا۟ رَبَّكُمْ ثُمَّ تُوبُوٓا۟ إِلَيْهِ يُمَتِّعْكُم مَّتَـٰعًا حَسَنًا إِلَىٰٓ أَجَلٍۢ مُّسَمًّۭى وَيُؤْتِ كُلَّ ذِى فَضْلٍۢ فَضْلَهُۥ ۖ وَإِن تَوَلَّوْا۟ فَإِنِّىٓ أَخَافُ عَلَيْكُمْ عَذَابَ يَوْ...

The best remembrance is the recitation of the Holy Quran. The Prophetic Sunnah has provided various forms of remembrance, and the best of these remembrances are as follows: “The words dearer to Allah are four: ‘How perfect Allah is and all praise is for Allah. None has the right to be worshipped except Allah alone and Allah is great It does not matter which you say first. (Muslim) 1 "And "there is no might nor power except with Allah": It is one of the treasures of Paradise." (Agreed upon) 2 “Whoever says: ‘Glory is to Allah, the Magnificent, and with His Praise (Subḥān Allāhil-Aẓīm, wa biḥamdih)’ a date-palm tree is planted for him in Paradise.”  (At-Tirmidhi) 3 “Two phrases which are dear to the Compassionate One and are light on the tongue but heavy in the scale are: “How perfect Allah is and I praise Him; and How perfect Allah is the Most Great.” (Agreed upon) 4 “And the praise of Allah fills the scale. Glorification and praise fill up what is between the heave...

Remembrance of Allah (Dhikr) brings joy, happiness, sustenance, and honor. It necessitates being mindful of Allah, increasing in worship, turning to Him in repentance, and nearness to Him. It is a remedy for various ailments. Ibn 'Awn1, may Allah have mercy on him, said, "Remembrance of Allah is a cure, while remembrance of people is a disease."2 Another incident is reported where a man complained to Al-Hasan Al-Basri about the hardness of heart, and he advised him, "Soften it with the remembrance of Allah." 3 Through remembrance of Allah, ranks are elevated, sins are forgiven, calamities are repelled, difficulties are eased, and it brings comfort to the hearts. Allah, glorified be He, says: ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ وَتَطْمَئِنُّ قُلُوبُهُم بِذِكْرِ ٱللَّهِ ۗ أَلَا بِذِكْرِ ٱللَّهِ تَطْمَئِنُّ ٱلْقُلُوبُ ٢٨ " those who believe and whose hearts find comfort in the remembrance of Allah. Surely in the remembrance of Allah do hearts find comfort. ."  (Surah Ar...

 Gratitude should come from your heart, tongue, and actions. Expressing gratitude in the heart means recognizing the blessings and attributing them to its Creator. Allah, glorified be He, says: وَمَا بِكُم مِّن نِّعْمَةٍۢ فَمِنَ ٱللَّهِ ۖ ثُمَّ إِذَا مَسَّكُمُ ٱلضُّرُّ فَإِلَيْهِ تَجْـَٔرُونَ ٥٣ “ Whatever blessings you have are from Allah. Then whenever hardship touches you, to Him ˹alone˺ you cry for help" (Surah An-Nahl : Ayat 53) Expressing gratitude with the tongue involves praising and thanking the Bestower of the blessings. The Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him, said, "'Alhamdulillah' (Praise be to Allah) fills the scales."  (Muslim) 1 Expressing gratitude with your actions means utilizing the blessings in ways that please Allah and refraining from using them in disobedience or sin. The happiest of people are those who make blessings a means to draw closer to Allah and attain success in the Hereafter. The most miserable are those who follow their desires...

Allah has bestowed upon you His great blessings and has showered you with abundant gifts, so that you may express gratitude for them. Gratitude is the purpose behind His creation and command. Allah, glorified be He, says: وَٱللَّهُ أَخْرَجَكُم مِّنۢ بُطُونِ أُمَّهَـٰتِكُمْ لَا تَعْلَمُونَ شَيْـًۭٔا وَجَعَلَ لَكُمُ ٱلسَّمْعَ وَٱلْأَبْصَـٰرَ وَٱلْأَفْـِٔدَةَ ۙ لَعَلَّكُمْ تَشْكُرُونَ ٧٨ "And Allah has extracted you from the wombs of your mothers not knowing a thing, and He made for you hearing and vision and intellect that perhaps you would be grateful."  (Surah An-Nahl:Ayat 78) Allah has informed us that those who do not show gratitude to Him are not truly His sleeves. Allah, glorified be He, says:  يَـٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ كُلُوا۟ مِن طَيِّبَـٰتِ مَا رَزَقْنَـٰكُمْ وَٱشْكُرُوا۟ لِلَّهِ إِن كُنتُمْ إِيَّاهُ تَعْبُدُونَ ١٧٢ "And be grateful to Allah, if it is [indeed] Him that you worship."  (Surah Al-Baqarah 2:172) Allah praised the first messenger He sent ...
