The Fruits Of Iman

Do you want to know the effects of Iman Ya ikhwaan?

Then I say the following...

Iman substitutes loneliness, sadness, depression, confusion into happiness, peace of mind, an ability to sleep well at night, a sense of purpose and direction!

I swear by Allah, the One who possesses your soul and mine, that these are values that cannot be attained without Iman regardless of the smiles that people issue you in public, they cannot be attained without Iman!

Why?

Because the human heart, it possesses voids.

The human heart has compartments and in order for you to be a happy individual, every one of these compartments need their fill.

There is the compartment of food which needs its fill.

There is the compartment of drink and marital relations which need their fill.
Shelter, peace and security which need their fill!

And there is another compartment and this is where the vast majority of humanity have failed in filling.

This is the compartment that says, 'I want to know Allah.'

'I want to obey Allah.'

'I want to please Allah.'

That is a compartment that needs its fill as well.

Ibn Al Qayyim (rahimuhullah) he says, speaking about these voids...

Listen!

Listen wallahi to these heart softening words...

'In the heart of every human being there is a sense of scattering which cannot be brought back together except by turning to Allah.'

'And in the heart of every human being there is a sense of loneliness which cannot be put out except by being close to Allah.'

'And In the heart of every human being there is anxiety and there is a sense of fear and unease which cannot be removed except by fleeing to Allah.'

'And in the heart of every human being there is a sense of guilt and regret, which cannot be removed except by being pleased and content with Allah.'
