Sensitive Heart

Bismillahirrahmanirrahim.


Hadith 27
Al-Nawwas bin Sam'an, radiyallahu 'anhu, reported that the Prophet, sallallahu 'alayhi wasallam, said:

"Righteousness is good character, and sin is that which wavers in your heart and which you do not want people to know about."

[Muslim]

According to Wabisah bin Ma'bad, radiyallahu 'anhu, who said:

I came to the Messenger of Allah, sallallahu 'alayhi wasallam, and he said: "You have come to ask about righteousness ?" " Yes," I answered. He said: "Consult your heart. Righteousness is that about which the soul feels tranquil and the heart feels tranquil, and sin is what creates restlessness in the soul and moves to and fro in the breast, even though people give you their opinion (in your favour) and continue to do so."

[A good hadith transmitted from the Musnads of the two Imams, Ahmad bin Hanbal and Al-Darimi] 

How can I be aware of Ghazwul Fikr(psychological warfare) if I were to sit idly and do nothing at all?

Answer: Aha! A sensitive heart can help me. =D

One of the agents of GF is Shaitan. It'd no good if we keep falling into his traps and whispers,eh? His whispers which caused doubts in ourselves whenever we're about to do good. Reflecting back to myself, do I spontaneously agree when someone invite me to watch movie or play "PW" ? Do I do the same when I am invited to usrah or ceramah by Pakcik? And, if I were in the position of choosing either one, which one would I choose?

Having a sensitive heart can help you to do just that!If I had a more sensitive heart, I'd be -without a doubt- choosing to do the good deeds. I'd be more aware of Shaitan's evil whisperings because my heart would keep saying a BIG NO whenever I'm about to do sins. Somehow, it triggers uneasiness in myself whenever I want to do bad bad bad stuffs. ALLAH has already explained why we'd feel such thing in the Quran. (49:7)

If I were to be insensitive enough of my heart's protest, I'd be doomed, I'll tell you that. Not only I'd be easily tricked into Shaitan's tricks, I'd be also feeling nothing when I do sins.

Naudzubillah min zalik.

Remember that ALLAH's the One in control of everything, including Shaitan. Seek His help whenever you're in doubt of yourself and if you keep falling into Shaitan's evil doings. Verily, ALLAH is All-Hearing and know that, He's very near to you.(50:16)
