Only Put Him ﷻ in Your Heart

Bismi Llāhi r-Raḥmāni r-Raḥīm

“أَلَا بِذِكْرِ اللَّهِ تَطْمَئِنُّ الْقُلُوبُ”

(Qur’ān 13:28)

“A-lā bi-dhikri llāhi taṭmainnu l-qulūb”, “Verily, in the remembrance of Allah do hearts find rest.” Ṣadaqa Llāhu l-‘Aẓīm. Meaning, the heart is only satisfied with mentioning Allāh ﷻ, putting Allāh ﷻ in your heart, and not knowing anything else. This makes you satisfied and not worry about anything else.

Allāh ﷻ, He ﷻ is One. No partner for Him ﷻ. Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla does not like partner. And it is from His ﷻ attributes. It is impossible to have partner for Allāh Azza wa Jalla.

For this, we must put Allāh Azza wa Jalla in our heart. That which Allāh Azza wa Jalla is saying about: no skies, no earth, not anywhere [encompasses Him ﷻ] – because there is no place for Allāh ﷻ. He ﷻ said, “I can only be in my believer, mu’min’s heart; not any place else.”

For this, you must not put anything in your heart. Only the love of Allāh ﷻ. With the love of Allāh ﷻ, you will be happy in your heart. Don’t put dunyā. Don’t put money. Don’t put woman. Don’t put anything; only Allāh Azza wa Jalla. “حُبُّ فِي اللَّهِ وَبُغْضٌ فِي اللَّهِ”, “Ḥubbun fi Llāh wa Bughdhun fi Llāh”, “Love for Allāh ﷻ and hate for Allāh ﷻ.” Love for Allāh ﷻ. What Allāh ﷻ loves, you love this in your heart. But when you put others, you will be your whole life miserable, not happy, unhappy.

This is a small word [advice] but it is enough for the happiness of humanity. Because they put in their hearts everything except Allāh Azza wa Jalla. They put money, they put woman, they put very bad things in their heart, but no place for Allāh ﷻ in their heart. For this, they are unhappy. They are miserable. May Allāh ﷻ open our hearts only for Him ﷻ, in shā’a Llāh. Wa min Allah at-Tawfiq.

Al-Fatiha.
