Said Ibrahim
in
one of the
most beautiful
verses in the Quran talking about Allah when
he said to his people, who's Allah to
him? He says,
He's the one who feed me and give
me drinks.
And when I get sick, so sickness here,
he's the one who will give me cure
or make me,
healthy.
So this is something for us also to
learn. Meaning, the Quran talks about physical illness
and its part of the life. What should
I do in the physical illness?
Right? Number 1, I think all the time.
It is Allah allowed it to happen. And
then when I go to someone, I go
to a physician
to help me to do a surgery, give
me medications,
when he or she is doing the surgery
and I get, alhamdulillah, recovered,
I need to remember that Allah
put the cure in the hand of the,
for example, the surgeon.
When I take her medications,
I don't think the medication is giving me
the cure. It's the medication by the will
of Allah. Allah is making the medication
works and I get better including any medication
you take for something as simple as headaches.
So that's the physical. But the interesting
the
where
he said, as he said it in Suratul
Baqarahlaqarahlaqaw.
And their hearts already is sick. They have
disease and Allah made it even worse. And
Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala talked about disease,
or sickness
when even physical, this one, is when he
talked about ablution
and he gave the permission
for those who are sick. And he said,
If you were sick or you were traveling,
then there is an permission not to do
wudu or to do the wudu in a
limited way as long as you don't get
harm. But if you get harm, you can
even don't do wudu, you do.
Back to the disease of the heart
and Allah repeatedly
say said it.
The disease of the heart is when the
heart doesn't see
truth as truth all the time and does
not see falsehood as falsehood
all the time.
It alternate
or it changes.
And usually there is 2 forces in that
heart. As Rasool alaihi wa sallam, the meaning
of, he said, lammatan, the heart has 2
forces. Lammatulmalakul
lammatu shaitaan. There's a force of the angel
and there's a force of the shaitan.
When I wanna do something and
I know that this thing is not pleasing
to Allah and I have this voices, 2
voices inside me saying don't do it. It's
not pleasing to Allah and the other voice
will say it's okay. It's only one time.
Allah will forgive me or whatever
excuse or justification
I wanna do, then my heart is sick.
It's not dead, alhamdulillah.
It's sick.
And how sick it is or could be
not sick at all if the good force
win? That means I am absolutely fine.
One of the interesting points where Allah mentioned
or there is a sickness of the heart
is when he talked to the wives of
Rasul
in the chapter Al Ahab, the confederate. And
he said,
Don't speak
softly
or in a suggestive way if you wanna
use that word. And then the person who
has a disease in the heart,
the heart is sick, not physically. The heart
is sick.
He will,
and this is he. He will understand what
you are saying in a different way, and
he will have more desires.
SubhanAllah, what a beautiful deen that
Allah knows what we feel and knows what
affect us.
Another one he said about the disease of
the heart where he said it in Surah
Tawba, when a verse is is revealed.
And people in between this is in time
of Rasool alaihi wa sata salam in Medina
where the 2 groups were said, what did
this verse do to you? Now let's pay
attention
because that's you and me. When I read
the Quran, when I listen to a verse,
what does it do to me? And Allah
here, he
When a verse from the Quran is revealed,
the real believers,
they are so happy,
and they feel good and have glad tidings.
Those who have sickness in their heart, have
sick heart,
when a verse is revealed,
they will what happened to them? They will
their heart will have more evil.
Their heart will have more filth.
Rich is one of the meanings of riches.
They will have more doubt,
basically.
What does the verse of the Quran
do to us?
When I read this verse and I should
ask myself, am I that person, or I
am the other person, where I am going
to be closer to Allah and I'm going
to be very happy, or versus I'm going
to have more doubt.
What does that mean? I'm not convinced?
Then there is a disease in my heart.
SubhanAllah, how subtle, in a very subtle way,
Allah
give us clues to look internally,
to look into our hearts. And one of
the best cure,
subhanAllah,
for the disease of the heart is the
Quran itself.
Allah said this and we send down the
Quran
and from the Quran, meaning the Quran, all
of it is is cure.
However, the wrongdoers,
they will even be even more losers.
So diseases,
sickness
is a natural thing. It's something part of
life. It's one of the tests that we
go through.
And Allah, subhanahu wa ta'ala, ex what does
he expect from me? I need to be
grateful. I need to be patient.
And sickness should bring me closer to Allah.
That's the external one. The internal one, the
disease of the heart, is the most important.
Each one of us have to look at
herself or himself
every single day and ask the following question:
is my heart sick?
Do I have a disease of the heart?
Do I have jealousy? Do I have anger?
Do I have
arrogance? All these are diseases.
Sometimes we don't know,
but the way it helps me is what
a verse in the Quran does to me
when I read.
Do I argue?
Am I not convinced? Then my heart is
sick.
And what do we have to do? Number
1, ask Allah
to cure our hearts, to purify our heart.
You Allah purify our hearts, our souls, our
body, meaning spiritually,
and
purify it. You are the best who can
purify yarubi Ami.
