Reclaim Our Hearts

It is easy to say that we love Allah swt.
It is easy to say that there is nothing else in our hearts, except Allah.
Yes, it is easy to say on the tongue but not with the heart.

There's a direct relation between the heart (your love) and the mind (your thought)..
your thought is going to be the reflection of what you love the most..
what's consume in your heart, consuming your mind too..


Here  are some questions to ask ourselves, in way to measure our hearts.
.
.
.

What do we really LOVE the most?

what are we AFRAID of?

What are we FEAR the most?

what do we THINK about the most?

what do we THINK ABOUT ALL DAY LONG?

what is that ALWAYS OCCUPYING IN OUR MIND?

what does the THINGS that we SPENDING THE ENTIRE DAY WORRYING ABOUT?

what it's RELATED TO?

does it's related to Allah?

Does it?
 . . . . .  . . .  . . .  . . . . . . .  . . . . . . . .

We'll find out that most of the time, it is not about Allah s.w.t. But it is all about His gifts...
.
.
.
.

what do WE THINK ABOUT WHEN WE WERE PRAYING?

 . . .  . . .  . .  . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Be honest to admit that, sometimes we were praying to Allah, while actually our minds thinking about something else, not Allah.. and our hearts worrying about else matters and not to Allah...
.
.
.

Ask ourselves again, what is it that make us MOST ANGRY?

what is it that makes us MOST SAD?

and again, LOOK AT WHAT WE'RE FEARED OF??

.....because fear is the indicator of ULTIMATE LOVE.

Is it ALLAH, to whom we feared to most???
.
.
.

More questions,

What are the things that we MOST AFRAID OF LOSING IT?

what's the things that KEEP US UP ALL NIGHT long until we cannot sleep?

what was THE LAST THING WE THINK ABOUT before we fall asleep?

what was THE FIRST THING ON OUR MIND WHEN WE WOKE UP?

What are the answers to all those questions?

What was it?

. . . . . . . . . . . . .  . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .  . . . . . . . . . .

we will figure out that most of the answers to all the questions, has nothing to do with Allah...

typically the answers are the gifts...

the gifts- the money, the job, the wealth, the honor, the power, the status, the spouse, the children, the family, the good health, the body, the appearance and everything little things in this life...

All the blessings in this life are the gifts from Allah...
when Allah give us gifts- we should appreciate it, and we should show gratitude for it..
However, it seems like we have love the gifts more than the Giver...

how come we LOVE the GIFTS more than the GIVER?

how come we became DEPENDENT to the GIFTS but not to the GIVER?

The gifts-—that should have remained in our hands—takes over our heart.

We have took all the gifts and put that in the place of our heart, where it is supposed to be a place for Allah swt..

The Life, The Gift or The Giver? We make the choice.
