and the Polish for the Heart is ...?
The Remembrance of Allah.'
[Source: S.Bukhari]
Al-Bayhaqee relates from
Ibn ‘Umar [Radiallaahu ‘Anhu] ....
*PROPHET* ﷺ ~ said...
“For everything there is a Polish,
and the Polish for the Hearts is the 'DHIKR'...
[Remembrance] of Allah....!
There is nothing more potent in saving a person
from the punishment of Allah
than the 'Dhikr' of Allah.”
It was said...
'Not even 'Jihad' in the path of Allah' {?}
Prophet [Sallallahu ‘Alayhi wa Salaam] replied...
“ Not even if you were to continue striking
with your sword until it breaks.”
[Source: Saheeh: Related by Ahmad (4/352), from Mu'aadh ibn Jabal
[Radiallaahu 'anhu].
A Little Note....
The polish for a rusty heart is the
'Dhikr' of ALLAH !
This is because 'Dhikr' is like a polish
(which polishes the heart) like a shiny mirror !
When 'Dhikr' is left, the rust returns...{!}
But when 'Dhikr' resumes...?
then the Heart is again Polished...{!}
~Ibn Qayyim al-Jawziyya (Rahimahullah) said...
“Doubtless, a heart grows tarnished like brass
or silver, and its polish is by remembrance,
which may make it shine like a crystal mirror... !
So when one neglects the remembrance it
Tarnishes....{!}
and when he returns it shines....{!}
Since the heart is Tarnished by two [2]
things...
Heedlessness and Sin...
it is polished by two [2] things....
Remembrance and asking Forgiveness.”
