One ‘La ilaaha illAllah’ …

…

Through Zikrullah, the Zaakir (one taking the name of Allah)

reaches the Mazkoor (his Beloved Allah Subhaanahu Wa Ta`aala)

~

Oh my Allah! My shoulders have become so heavy because there are

‘mountains of sins’ that I am carrying on them …

But, Oh my Allah with the blessings and power of your Zikr …

with just ‘one’ La ilaaha illAllah …

all those weighty mountains of sins will just vanish and disappear

… they will be washed away by the Noor of your Zikr and Mercy.

~

When a person recites La ilaaha illAllah …

then there is no barrier between him and

the Arsh of Allah Subhaanahu Wa Ta`ala.

This La ilaaha illAllah reaches the Arsh of Allah immediately …

and then Noor descends from there and penetrates into the heart.

When that Noor comes gushing into our souls,

all the filth that has clogged and accumulated in our souls

will be washed away …

~

This Kalimah ‘La ilaaha illAllah’ that we are carrying in our our hearts,

is a great treasure given to us by Allah Subhaanahu wa Ta`aala.

The 3 Signs of ‘Sharhus Sadr’ ~ Opening of the Heart, to be able to Perceive, Understand and Accept the Truth

…

Hazrat Ibn Mas’ood (Radiallahu Anhu) narrates
that Rasulullah (Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam) recited the following Aayat :

فَمَن يُرِدِ ٱللَّهُ أَن يَهْدِيَهُۥ يَشْرَحْ صَدْرَهُۥ لِلْإِسْلَٰمِ

Those whom Allah (in His plan) willeth to guide,- He openeth their breast to Islam ~ Surah Al-‘An`am 6:125

Rasulullah (Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam) then said:
“When Noor enters the breast, it (the breast) expands.” Someone asked: “O Rasulullah! Is there a sign for this?” Rasulullah (sallallahu alayhi wasallam) said: “Yes. He saves himself from this abode of deception (the world); he inclines towards the everlasting abode (AKHIRAH) and he makes preparations for the everlasting abode before the arrival of death. ‘ (Baihaqi)

…

The 3 Signs of Sharhus Sadr :

When Noor is thrust into a persons heart; his spiritual heart expands, to take in the Light of Allah Subhaanahu Wa Ta`ala. Three signs indicate that a person is receiving such Noor and is being guided by Allah >

1. To detach oneself and remain aloof from this deceptive world…

Do not become beguiled by the love of this world and its short-lived promises.

2. To show a longing and a yearning for the perpetual abode of Aakhirat.

3. Preparing for Maut (death) before it comes…

The person who suppresses his desires and he prepares for the hereafter is intelligent and the person who disobeys Allah and follows his desires is a fool.
