What is Heart ?

The experts of Islamic teachings says....

Outward physical acts are not valid and acceptable unless they are accompanied by appropriate actions of the heart.

The heart is like the king and the physical faculties are like his troops. Hence the Prophet (PBUH) said : "In the body there is a piece of flesh:if it is sound the whole body will be sound and if it is corrupt then the whole body will be corrupt".

For when affliction befalls man, he cries out unto Us, whether he be lying on his side or sitting or standing, but as soon as We have freed him of his affliction, he goes on as thought he had never invoked Us to save him from the affliction that befell him! Thus do their own doings seem goodly unto those who waste their own selves.'

Hello Character !

The holy Prophet has stated the foremost purpose of his being sent down in this world and the method of his call to the people in these words:

"I have been sent only for the purpose of perfecting good morals." (Al-Muta)
There are people who think that “a perfect Muslim” is simply one who is correct in the observance of the salah (ritual Prayer), the fasting, the zakah (payment of a certain portion of one’s wealth to the poor), and the Hajj (pilgrimage to Makkah). This indeed is not the case.

If the ritual observances do not help the person to be humble, virtuous and truly God-fearing, then he or she is not a real Muslim. A Muslim should be good and just in dealing with others, no matter their religion, and take special care to keep away from all the shameful and sinful things Allah (God) has forbidden.

We can summarize the teachings of Islam about the Muslim character succinctly in this form:

· Be truthful in everything, don’t lie.
· Be sincere and straightforward, don’t be hypocritical.
· Be honest, don’t be corrupt.
· Be humble, don’t be boastful.
· Be moderate, don’t be excessive.
· Be reserved, don’t be garrulous.
· Be soft-spoken, don’t be loud.
· Be refined and gentle in speech, don’t cure and use foul language.
· Be loving and solicitous to others, don’t be unmindful of them.
· Be considerate and compassionate, don’t be harsh.
· Be polite and respectful to people, don’t be insulting or disrespectful.
· Be generous and charitable, don’t be selfish and miserly.
· Be good natured and forgiving, don’t be bitter and resentful.
· Share and be content with what Allah has given you, don’t be greedy.
· Be cheerful and pleasant, don’t be irritable and morose.
· Be chaste and pure, don’t be lustful.
· Be alert and aware of the world around you, don’t be absent-minded.
· Be dignified and decent, don’t be graceless.
· Be optimistic and hopeful, don’t be cynical or pessimistic.
· Be confident and have deep faith, don’t be doubtful and wavering.
· Be spiritually oriented and not materialistic.
· Be confident of the mercy of Allah, don’t be despairing and lose heart.
· Be diligent and vigilant of your duties, don’t be negligent.
· Be thankful to Allah and constantly pray to Him, don’t be forgetful of His innumerable blessings.
