I saw the dust on the mirror

only a dot.

That was okay,

I did not clean it.

One month later……

I see the mirror again,

O ..No!!!

It is covered by the dust all.

I cannot see my face on it.

 ***

What about my heart?

Is it covered by the dust too??!!

How could I get Allah’s light?

ودواء  قلب خمسة فتلاوة، بتدبر  المعني  وللبطن  الخلا  وقيام  ليل  والتضرع  بالسحر  ومجالسة الصالحين  الفضلا

امام نواوي 1983

 

Yahya Ibn Mu’aadh said, the medicine of heart is five things;

1. Reading Quran and pondering the meaning,
2. Having an empty stomach,
3. Praying at night (Qiyaam al-layl),
4. Beseeching Allah at the time of suhoor, and
5. keeping company with the righteous people.

I am struggling to clean the dust in my heart.
