THE LIFE, DEATH, DARKNESS AND ILLUMINATION OF THE HEART{PART-1} --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Is he who was dead (without Faith by ignorance and disbelief) and We gave him life (by knowledge and Faith) and set for him a light (of Belief) whereby he can walk amongst men, like him who is in the darkness (of disbelief, polytheism and hypocrisy) from which he can never come out?[6:122] This is why Allah has mentioned the life of the heart, its illumination death and darkness in a number of places. That he or it (Muhammad SAW or the Qurân) may give warning to him who is living (a healthy minded the believer)[36:70] O you who believe! Answer Allah (by obeying Him) and (His) Messenger when he (SAW) calls you to that which will give you life, and know that Allah comes in between a person and his heart (i.e. He prevents an evil person to decide anything). And verily to Him you shall (all) be gathered. [8:24] He brings out the living from the dead, and brings out the dead from the living.[30:19] The similitude of a house in which Allah is mentioned, and the house in which Allah is not mentioned is as the living and the dead. [Bukhari] Perform some of your prayers in your houses, and do not take them as graves.[Bukhari] Those who reject Our Ayat (proofs, evidences, verses, lessons, signs, revelations, etc.) are deaf and dumb in darkness. [6:39] Allah is the Light of the heavens and the earth. The parable of His Light is as (if there were) a niche and within it a lamp, the lamp is in the glass, the glass as it were a brilliant star, lit from a blessed tree, an olive neither of the east or west, whose oil would almost glow forth (of itself), though no tire touched it. Light upon Light![24:35] This is the similitude for the light of faith in the hearts of the believers. ..In order that you might lead mankind out of darkness into light..[14:1] Allah is the Protector of those who believe. He brings them out from the darkness into the light. But as for those who disbelieve their protectors are false deities, they bring them out from the light into the darkness.[2:257] O you who believe [Moses (i.e. Jews) Jesus (i.e. Christians)]! Fear Allah, and believe too in His Messenger (Muhammad SAW), He will give you a double portion of His Mercy, and He will give you a light by which you shall walk (straight), and He will forgive you. And Allah is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful.[57:28] Guide us to the Straight Way[1:6] **************** AND ALLAH KNOWS BEST************** ________________________________________________________
