Where Is your heart? أين قلبك

Asalam Alaikum Wa Rahmatullahi Wa Barakatuh,

Allah says (interpertation of the meaning):

"Those who believe, and whose hearts find comfort in the remembrance of Allah! " Behold in the Remembrance of Allah do hearts find satisfaction." (13-28)

"He is successful who purifies himself, and remembers the name of his Lord, and so prays." (87:14-15)

Allah(swt) said in the Quran: "And mention the name of your Lord and devote yourself to Him with a complete devotion" (73:8).

"O ye who believe let not your riches or your children divert you from the Remembrance of Allah if any act thus, the loss is their own." (63:9)

"Then do ye remember Me I will remember you." (2-152)

"Men whom neither traffic nor merchandise can divert from Remembrance of Allah nor from regular Salaat, nor from regular practice of Zakaat." (24-37)

"He who turns away from the remembrance of His Lord He will cause him to undergo a severe Penalty." (72-17)

People are as Shaykh al-Islaam Ibn Taymiyyah (rahimahullah) described them "like the flocks of birds naturally disposed to imitating one another,"(Majmoo'al-Fataawa,(2­8/150))so beware:from dressing in a juvenile fashion.

[snmsoulja]

So take from your dress that which adorns you and does not appear unattractive, and do not give anyone an excuse to talk about you, or to criticise you. And if what you wear and how you wear it meets with the nobility of what you carry (in terms) of religious knowledge, then it is more likely that you will be exalted (i.e. in the eyes of the people), and that your knowledge will be benefited from;rather,(in addition) to this, it will become a means of drawing nearer (to Allaah).

[snmsoulja]

Also people categorise you according to your dress;rather, the way in which you wera your clothes indicates to the onlooker as to how to catogorise you terms of digtiny and sensibility, or shows you to be a shaykh, a person of worship, a childish person, or a person who loves to be noticed.

[snmsoulja]

From a book called "The Etiquette of Seeking Knowledge" by Shaykh Bakr Aboo Zayd.

The outside appearance (dress) is also indication of person's affiliation, rather it defines him or her, and after all, is dress not one of many ways of expressing oneself?! So be careful in what u wear, because it expresses to others:your standing in (what you) are affiliated to, your upbringing, and your taste,and it was due to this that it was said:"the outside appearance leads to (one's) inner inclination.

HayyaakumAllaah ikhwaan wa akhawaat, avoid debating about the deen since most of the time it does not serve much benefit unless both parties have a clear intention to sincerely seek the truth. However I could not help but read some of the comments and I felt compelled to advice in this matter since no evidence is really shown inshaAllaah. I am NOT looking to debate, therefore I will just give this one advice and leave inshaAllaah (everyone can reflect on it including myself).

ok inshallah im not in for debate but for advice

btw dont look at the insignificant of the sin but look at the one whom ur disobeying. so dont see this act is lesser inportent or lesser worse becuz u see thing happen that are more worse then these.

[IsaAbdullah23]

Ok, I'll add you, but not so we can debate.

[dadelboom21]
