🟢 20 Types of Hearts in Quran Series – Part 5🟢
📍
Blind
Hearts: Some hearts who travel extensively around the globe, they
came across many valuable signs which can guide them to the truth, highlight
the fallacies of the crooked people who tried deviated theories and failed miserably;
histories of nations have testimonies that lot of powerful men who were terror
of their time has seldom any followers.
If someone is so busy that he has no time to ponder on the
facts of life then his life is purposeless; but if someone after experiencing
and analyzing the facts try to ignore and deny the same then these are termed
as “Blind hearts”. The words “blinded are the hearts” have been used in the
metaphorical and not in the literal sense. Since the heart is regarded as the
center of emotions, feelings and of mental and moral qualities, these words
have been used to imply that their obduracy has inhibited them from feeling and
acting rationally..
Ibn Abi Ad-Dunya said in his book At-Tafakkur wal-I`tibar, "Some
of the wise people said, Give life to your heart with lessons, illuminate it
with thought, kill it with asceticism, strengthen it with certain faith, remind
it of its mortality, make it aware of the calamities of this world, warn it of
the disasters that life may bring, show it how things may suddenly change with
the passing of days, tell it the stories of the people of the past, and remind
it what happened to those who came before."'
Walk through their ruins, see what they did and what became of
them, meaning, look at the punishments and divine wrath that struck the nations
of the past who belied, (Ibn Katheer)
فَكَأَيِّن مِّن قَرْيَةٍ
أَهْلَكْنَاهَا وَهِيَ ظَالِمَةٌ فَهِيَ خَاوِيَةٌ عَلَىٰ عُرُوشِهَا وَبِئْرٍ
مُّعَطَّلَةٍ وَقَصْرٍ مَّشِيدٍ ﴿٤٥﴾ أَفَلَمْ
يَسِيرُوا فِي الْأَرْضِ فَتَكُونَ لَهُمْ قُلُوبٌ يَعْقِلُونَ بِهَا أَوْ آذَانٌ
يَسْمَعُونَ بِهَا ۖ فَإِنَّهَا لَا تَعْمَى الْأَبْصَارُ وَلَـٰكِن
تَعْمَى الْقُلُوبُ الَّتِي فِي الصُّدُورِ ﴿٤٦﴾
‘کتنی ہی خطا کار بستیاں ہیں جن
کو ہم نے تباہ کیا ہے، اور آج وہ اپنی چھتوں پر الٹی پڑی ہیں، کتنے ہی کنویں بیکار
اور قصر کھنڈر بنے ہوئے ہیں۔ کیا یہ لوگ زمین میں چلے پھرے نہیں ہیں کہ ان کے دل
سمجھنے والے یا ان کے سننے والے ہوتے، حقیقت یہ ہے کہ آنکھیں اندھی نہیں ہوتیں،
بلکہ وہ دل اندھے ہوتے ہو جاتے ہیں جو سینوں میں ہیں‘۔ (الحج۔ ٤٥-٤٦)
Have they not journeyed in the land that their hearts might understand, and their ears might listen? For indeed it is not the eyes that are blinded; it is rather the hearts in the breasts that are rendered blind. (22:46)
📍 Bitter Hearts: Few
hearts among the people do believe in god but in plurality. Some believe in one
form of the god and others in another. When the discussion about divinity takes
place and their gods are mentioned they felt happy and rejoice it. But when
name of only ONE Almighty is taken (Which is everyone Lord) they feel uneasiness
and bitterness in their hearts
This evil is common to almost all polytheistic people of the world,
and even some unfortunate Muslims also suffer from it, They profess with the
tongue that they believe in Allah, but when One Allah alone is mentioned before
them, their faces arc distorted, and they say, "This man certainly does
not believe in the saints and holy men; that is why he talks of Allah and Allah
alone. " And if others besides Allah arc mentioned, they are delighted,
and their faces brighten up with joy. Their this attitude shows as to who is
the actual object of their love and esteem. 'Allama Alusi, in his commentary
Ruh al-Ma ani, has related his own experience here. He says: "One day I
saw that a man was invoking the help of a dead saint in his affliction. I said;
O bondsman of Allah, invoke Allah, for He Himself says: 'If My servants ask
you, O Prophet, concerning Me, tell them I am quite near to them. I hear and
answer the prayer of the supplicant when he calls to Me," (AI-Baqarah:
186), Hearing this the man became angry, the people told me afterwards that he
said: This man is a denier of the saints; and some others heard him also say:
The saints answer the prayers more promptly than does Allah." (Tafheem ul
Quran)
وَإِذَا ذُكِرَ اللَّـهُ وَحْدَهُ
اشْمَأَزَّتْ قُلُوبُ الَّذِينَ لَا يُؤْمِنُونَ بِالْآخِرَةِ ۖ وَإِذَا
ذُكِرَ الَّذِينَ مِن دُونِهِ إِذَا هُمْ يَسْتَبْشِرُونَ ٤٥
جب اکیلے اللہ کا ذکر کیا جاتا ہے تو آخرت پر
ایمان نہ رکھنے والوں کے دل کڑھنے لگتے ہیں، اور جب اُس کے سوا دوسروں کا ذکر ہوتا
ہے تو یکایک وہ خوشی سے کھل اٹھتے ہیں (39:45)
When Allah alone is mentioned, the hearts of those who do not believe in
the Hereafter contract with bitterness, but when deities apart from Allah are
mentioned, they are filled with joy. (39:45)
📍 Mighty Hearts: When
people with scanty knowledge, dubious mind, without authentic studies argue in
serious matters with prejudices. They seldom give respect to decent debates and
scientific arguments. Such people use their positions to prove their points and
cross the limits and boundaries of decency. They are termed as Mighty hearts
who qualifies themselves to be denied of all guidance from the Almighty.
"Allah allows only those people to go astray who possess the
following three qualities: (1) They transgress all limits in their evildoing.
and then develop such a taste for it that they do not feel inclined to accept
any invitation to reform their morals (2) their permanent attitude in respect
of the Prophets is characterised by doubt and suspicion. The Prophets of God
may bring any clear Signs before them, yet they doubt their Prophethood as well
as view with suspicion those truths which they present with regard to Tauhid
and the Hereafter; and 131 they try to resist the Revelations of the Book of
Allah with crooked arguments instead of considering them rationally, and these
objections are neither based on any sound reason nor on the authority of a
revealed Book, but from the beginning to the end their only basis is obstinacy
and stubbornness. When a group of the people develops these three evils, Allah
hurls it into the deep pit of Hell-fire wherefrom no power can then rescue
them. (Tafheem ul Quran) That is, 'The
seal is not set on the heart of anybody without a reason. This seal of curse is
set only on the heart of the one who is filled with arrogance and spirit of
violence and tyranny."
الَّذِينَ يُجَادِلُونَ فِي آيَاتِ اللَّـهِ
بِغَيْرِ سُلْطَانٍ أَتَاهُمْ ۖ كَبُرَ مَقْتًا عِندَ اللَّـهِ وَعِندَ الَّذِينَ
آمَنُوا ۚ كَذَٰلِكَ يَطْبَعُ اللَّـهُ عَلَىٰ كُلِّ قَلْبِ مُتَكَبِّرٍ جَبَّارٍ
﴿٣٥﴾40:35
‘اس طرح ان سب لوگوں کو گمراہی میں ڈال دیتا ہے،
جو حد سے گزرنے والے اور شکی ہوتے ہیں۔ اور اللہ کی آیات میں جھگڑتے ہین۔ بغیر اس
کے کہ ان کے پاس کوئی سند یا دلیل آئی ہو یہ رویہ اللہ اور ایمان لانے والوں کے
نزدیک سخت مبغوض ہے۔ اس طرح اللہ ہر متکبر اور عیار کے دل پر ٹھپہ لگا دیتا ہے‘۔
(المومن ٣٤-٣٥)
📍 Proud Hearts: Pride
and absolute greatness is suitable to the Almighty Creator; when humans try to
compete in this sphere they are certainly doomed to be destroyed. We have been
warned to be clear of our position in this world. We have been send here as
Abdullah and Khalifat ullah (servant of God and vicegerent) . The sooner we
understand the better our future is.
Some people when they get fame, power, richness, strength
etc they feel they are superior to others and start feeling pride in their
hearts.
حضرت عبد اللہ بن مسعود سے روایت کرتے ہیں کہ
رسول اکرم نے ارشاد فرمایا: ’’لا یدخل الجنۃ من
کان فی قلبہ مثقال ذرۃ من کبر‘‘
جس شخص
کے دل میں ذرہ برابر بھی کبر ہوگا وہ جنت میں داخل نہ ہوگا۔) صحیح
مسلم۔ کتاب الایمان ۔ باب تحریم الکبر وبیانہ: ۲!۷۴)۔
'He who has an atom's weight of Arrogance in his heart will not enter
Paradise.’ Muslim
عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ
قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: "
قَالَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ: الْكِبْرِيَاءُ رِدَائِي، وَالْعَظَمَةُ إِزَارِي،
فَمَنْ نَازَعَنِي وَاحِدًا مِنْهُمَا، قَذَفْتُهُ فِي النَّارِ".
Allah (mighty and sublime be He) said: Pride is my cloak and greatness My robe, and he who competes with Me in respect of either of them I shall cast into Hell-fire.
