💐 In The Name Of Allah The Most Gracious The Most Merciful
💌 The similitude of those who seem "clean" outwardly
Yet they carry dirty thoughts and their hearts are filthy
Is that of a golden treasure chest and it's empty,
Within are cobwebs of wounded pride, greed and envy.
~•~
Better to be average-looking with a heart that's clean
Than appear grand while concealing ugly qualities,
From constantly hating on others enviously
And gossiping to accusing Muslims unfairly.
~•~
If you're blessed with a pure heart, you wouldn't be guilty
Of doubting other Muslims' intentions unjustly,
Disdaining someone's gifts, disliking Allah's Decree,
Lying, starting fights, and backbiting despicably.
~•~
Clean minds think "MashaAllah" when Muslims are happy,
Don't invent rumors when some behave incorrectly
But sense pity, so they advise and remind kindly.
Clean hearts care for Allah's sake - with justice and mercy.
~•~
Souls beautified with clean hearts steer clear of all of these:
Arrogance - demanding service meant for VIPs,
Serving one's ego - not forgiving, too hard to please,
And acting as though one sees the whys of people's deeds.
~•~
To have a clean heart: Do good for Allah sincerely.
Be teachable. Don't roll your eyes when a Muslim speaks.
Leave toxic vibes found in those who act impudently.
Train yourself to not feel jealous of others' journeys.
~•~
The cleaner your heart is, the more you can readily
Say Dhikr, accept truth, detect real from fallacies,
Obey Allah regardless of His slaves' enmity,
And avoid misjudging hearts, as that's not your duty.

📖 Abu Huraira RadhiAllahu 'anhu narrated: Allah's noble Messenger Muhammad SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam said, "Verily, when the servant commits a sin, a black mark appears upon his heart. If he abandons the sin, seeks forgiveness, and repents, then his heart will be polished. If he returns to the sin, the blackness will be increased until it overcomes his heart. It is the covering that Allah has mentioned: 'No, rather a covering is over their hearts from what they have earned.' (The Noble Qur'an 83:14)"
