You may be the reason their heart softens today. The Prophet ﷺ said: من دل على خير فله مثل أجر فاعله "Whoever guides to good will have a reward like the one who does it." (Sahih Muslim) May Allah soften our hearts and make us among those who listen and follow the best of it. #heartsofteners #islamicreminder #islam What if a sin could be a mercy? Ibn al-Qayyim, may Allah have mercy on him, points to one of the most profound and overlooked insights in the study of the heart: sometimes a person becomes religious — praying at night, attending circles of knowledge, striving against the nafs — and then is quietly destroyed by something far more dangerous than sin. 'Ujb. Self-admiration. He begins to see himself as obedient, complete, better than others. He looks down on those around him. And this — we seek refuge in Allah — is destruction. Then a sin befalls him. His heart breaks. He feels regret. He turns to Allah in sincere tawbah. And in doing so, something remarkable happens: the sin breaks the pride that his obedience had built. His view of himself returns to what it should always have been — the view of a sinner who falls short in the right of Allah. And that broken, humble state? That is a door to being raised. The more a servant sees himself as complete — the more dangerous his condition. The more he sees himself as falling short — the closer he is to Allah. 🔔 Subscribe for reminders rooted in the Quran, Sunnah, and the wisdom of the scholars.
