Only in the remembrance of Allah can the heart find peace


“Indeed Allah does not look at your faces nor your wealth but He looks at your hearts...” (Sahih Muslim)
“Verily in the body is a morsel of flesh which, if it be right, all of the body is right and which, if it be diseased then all of it is diseased. Truly it is the heart”. (Bukhari and Muslim)
Heart is the main important part of our body because it is the one which can influence our action either to be bad or good deed. How can we want to act our soul to get more close to ALLAH?
There are various actions that we can undertake to be amongst the righteous whose taste the sweetness of this great deed. These tips were taken from the Talha's website and through this opportunity i would like to share with the entire world over.

2) Be steadfast with your daily prayers. Prayer wards the body from sinning and it prompt the tongue, heart and joints to be in the motion of Dhikr. Try to establish Fajr on time and the optional night prayer as these draw the soul nearer to Allah and will give you a sweet taste of Emaan that you may have never tasted before.
3) Try to fast on Mondays and Thursdays or the 13th, 14th and 15th of each lunar month. Fasting creates a God-conscious soul and instils piety into the inner-self, safeguarding it from the evils around it.
4) Make the Quraan your constant companion whether on a journey or at rest, and learn its meaning. The numerous pearls within the Quraan will connect your mind and soul to the remembrance of Allah.
5) Attend circles where Allah SWT is remembered, you will be surrounded by angels and enveloped with mercy and Allah SWT will mention you amongst a greater gathering. What is more gratifying in life than your creator making a mention of you amongst the angels with Him? Furthermore in these circles you will inshAllah acquire the company of the righteous people who will help you to stay steadfast and focused on the path to Allah SWT. May you always remain amongst the servants who are constantly striving to seek the pleasure of Allah SWT and may you be rewarded with success and Divine love in this life and the next. Ameen...
