"THE PROPHET (ﷺ) REPORTED TO HAVE SAID:
'IF THE HEART IS OVERWHELMED BY THE BRIGHTNESS (OF FAITH), SURELY IT WILL BE OPENED AND DELIGHTED.'
THEY SAID, 'O MESSENGER OF ALLAH! WHAT IS THE SIGN FOR THAT?' HE REPLIED:
'RESORTING TO THE ETERNAL DWELLING (I.E. PARADISE), BEING AVERTED FROM THE DWELLING OF DECEIT (I.E. THE WORLDLY LIFE), AND BEING PREPARED FOR DEATH BEFORE ITS ARRIVAL."
[TIRMIDHI]
THE BRIGHTNESS, WHICH OVERWHELMS THE HEART IS THE IMPACT OF BEING CLOSE TO ALLAH, THE ALMIGHTY AND OBTAINING HIS BLESSINGS OF SERENITY AND GUIDANCE. THIS FILLS THE HEART WITH PLEASURE, WHILE LACKING SUCH FEELINGS THAT COME FROM KNOWING ALLAH AND LOVING HIM, MAKES IT A GLOOMY AND NARROW PLACE.
