HOW TO KNOW IF YOU HAVE A PURE HEART


Prophet Muhammad
(saw) said: (Verily or as a matter of fact all actions are judged by your intentions) so whoever intends to migrate for example for the sake of Allah and his Messenger then their migration is for Allah and his Messenger but whoever for example want to migrate for something of this world that he or she wants to attain then their migration is for that which they intended. In other words Prophet Muhammad (saw) is explaining to us that any action, any imaginable action that you can think of, the reward of it, in the end, depends on what your intention was in here.

Prophet Muhammad (saw) said: Behold in this body there is a lump of flesh, if it is righteous and good then the rest of the body is righteous and good but if it is corrupt then the rest of body is corrupt, behold it is the heart which is inside here and I don't mean the heart which pumps the blood only but it is a feeling within here in your chest that when a person is doing something that is wrong and you get a feeling inside of you that you are doing something wrong but the people on the outside don't realize but you yourself do realize and you know something is wrong but this feeling on the inside is the (heart) which you are feeling. This is the (heart) which the Prophet (saw) is talking about.

When a person is doing something good and you can feel on the inside that you are doing it well then In'Sha'Allah your (heart) is in a righteous manner. There are many people who on the outside show that they are doing good, they speak well, they dress well in the way that Allah loves and His Messenger has taught, they do actions which everybody would praise them about and actions which if you were to meet Allah with them then they own you paradise but there is a problem that is happening in our time in this time of lies, this time of deception. The time of the shaitan. The era of the dajjal. We have so many trials and so many confusions via the media. In the social network in the way that we learn our knowledge today, in the behavior and the interaction that we have towards each other.


The shaitan has taken his toll upon many of the young men and women in order to decorate their bad actions to seem like they are good and to make good actions look like they are bad but even further than that we went to those who are practicing their Deen, saying to them look people are looking at you? what is so famous out there? My dear brothers and sisters this is not right in fact you can get popular by looking religious and you can get popular by dressing religiously. You can get popular by when you pray so well and when you speak about religion. People look at you and say, Masha Allah, this is a knowledgeable person but remember the shaitan begins to pick at the heart until all the actions that the person has done are destroyed.

Allah says in the Quran: ''Know that Allah is always in between the person's actions and their heart, if the actions agree with the heart in a good way meaning the intentions are good and the actions are good then you have succeeded but if the actions oppose the intention then the actions are destroyed'' and this is exactly what the shaitan promised his Lord. When Allah told him you are an outcast for not prostrating to Adam and obeying Allah's commands, shaitan said to Him with all nerve, he said I shall sit awaiting your servants where i am going to wait for them on your straight path.

Do you know what the straight path is, it is the path which Allah advised us and guided us to the Quran and the Sunnah. Remember my dear brothers and sisters what shaitan says, i will sit awaiting for them right there that is where i am going to wait for them and i am going to make sure i deceive them. I am going to make sure that while they think that they are doing the right thing, i am leading them towards hellfire to the point where i will make hellfire, i will make them be the ones who will be ignited by the fire.
