Heart and Soul

Every living being is fighting their own battle. Everyone is in wait to achieve something or to hear from someone or to change their current situation. When we pray to our maximum and beg Allah for worldly matters, a day comes when our heart gets tired of all this. We get hopeless and negative ending up into a frustrated individuals. It's all the play of Satan.

Then comes a time when we start recognizing our purpose here in this world and start asking Allah for strength to face our battles instead of anything else. We ask from Him, the power to stay firm on His religion, the faith to walk on Sirat-Al-Mustaqeem ( The Straight Path ) and a better place in the Hereafter.

As it is stated in the Holy Quran :

" The life of this world is only the enjoyment of deception."

( 3:185 )

We waste our years and years, in connecting to our real purpose.

As we are born, we are taught to follow the daily grind, fulfill our responsibilities and follow the rat race ,then, one day we die with a tired heart. 

Why a tired heart?

Because its full of lies, lust, money, vanity and power. Our heart and soul are deprived the whole life of the food they need.

They need healthy relationships, spiritual practices, physical activities, and other such resources to survive and thrive.

We neglect the actual things that add meaning to our lives and run after materialistic world goals.

In this era, where everyone is busy with technology and running after success, we should utilize our time and energy into something positive and engage ourselves in activities that could give us peace.

We can achieve it by self-talk and thus recognizing our purpose because without doing this, we can't find HIM.

This famous piece of poetry by A llama Iqbal summarises this concept :

Delve into your soul and there seek life's buried tracks;

Will you not be mine? then be not mine, be your own right!
