my heart.
I came across a few notable hadith while researching for something online. It somehow reminded me that my actions and intentions every split mili- second really mattered. Yeah, I know. But the fact is, I tend to forget myself. It’s not just “a thought”, or just “an action” that you can throw in the wind and let it disperse and disappear. Something to make me ponder.
Nuhman Ibn Bashir narrated that the Prophet, may Allah give him peace and blessings, said, “Verily there is in the body a small piece of flesh, if it is good the whole body is good and if it is corrupted the whole body is corrupted, verily it is the heart.” (Bukhari, Muslim)
Imam Ahmad Zarruq said, “The heart is the foundation of every good and evil. Its life and its death are the keys to either benefit or harm, so that which has no life in its heart has no way of protecting itself from evil facilitating itself good. And every heart that life enters into by necessity it will call it to enthusiastic responses when reminders occur.” So basically every good deed and bad deed emanates either from a good heart or a diseased heart.
