Purity of Heart

One day the Prophet said to his friend,''If you want to know the candidate of the heavenly host, take a look later a servant of God who sits in the corner of the mosque.''The friend with a sense of curious to see a figure that depicted the Prophet. After three days was observed, it turns out people are only ordinary parents without showing special advantages.

Out of curiosity, a friend accidentally spend the night at Old Man's house to see first hand deeds that makes it a candidate for the Host. Once observed, can not find a practice that exceeds any other Prophet Companions deeds.

Finally companions ventured to ask,''Practice what you said to the Messenger of candidate causes of the Garden?''Old Man replied,''No, O my friend, but maybe there are two things I always do before I sleep: first, before lie down to sleep I threw away a sense of vengeance against people who hurt me in the daytime; second, I will forgive the faults of others to me before he could apologize.''

Finally a friend was convinced that this is what the Prophet meant by deeds that make a man go to heaven. All worship and liabilities, and the prohibition of God to man finally one goal, namely to become the man who has a pure heart. Because, from a heart be clean born noble and praiseworthy character which is very useful to establish a harmonious and safe society.

The two properties described in the above story is a source of liver distress, which in turn will occupy the mind with a sense of resentment and always thinking of someone Else's fault. As a result, the desire to serve is diminished; sense of solemn in worship will be disrupted.

This is where the excitement of the devil, with our hearts open the door to be tempted to forget the obligation as a servant of God. The whole mind shackled to always see people with all its delights and disasters. When others get pleasure, his heart became restless, and when he gets excited his heart disaster on the suffering of others.

Getting a heart purity is not an easy job. The human heart is like a wave. Always changing according to the power of piety. Humans have to train the heart with a noble charity. In terms of science mysticism known as Mujahadah, and in live it have to do seriously.

There was a scholar who to train humble nature willing to do jobs that other people considered lowly, and a cheap dress for years. No other purpose is not to have properties very arrogant in the liver angrily God. God will receive the sacred hearted human being in the hereafter with maghfirah and abundant grace. While the heart is rotten, surely God's wrath will be accepted.
