A One-to-One With Your Heart
If you’re standing in prayer in these last few days of #Ramadan doing your best to ‘feel’ closer to Allāh (Subhānahū Wa Ta’ālā) yet somehow feeling distanced; if you’re wondering why those around you are all crying whilst you’re completely emotionless; if you wish you could be of those with soft hearts and tearful eyes in Ramadan, but it doesn’t seem to happen, and you fail to reach that level in your spiritual worship – then it’s time to have a serious one-to-one conversation with your heart.
Ask your heart: why is it so cold? Why do the Words of its Creator have no effect or impact on it at all? Is it that arrogant that it doesn’t need its Lord?! Why is it so hard? Why are no emotions expressed for either fear or joy of being with its Creator? Why is it a hypocrite? It’ll cry watching a movie when it knows it’s not real but will not cry when it hears the truth about its ultimate destination?!
Keep digging deeper until you find the answer. Get your heart to break in front of Allāh (Subhānahū Wa Ta’ālā) this Ramadan. There’s no sweeter feeling than a sincere #heart that cries out to Allāh. Don’t let Ramadan go without having cried even once in front of your Lord Insha’Allāh.
