How To Diagnose Your Heart | Khutbah by Dr. Omar Suleiman

We begin by praising Allah and bearing witness that no one has the right to be worshiped or obeyed unconditionally except him and we bear witness that Muhammad sallallahu alaihi wa sallam is his last messenger. We ask Allah to send peace and blessings to the prophets and messengers. who came before him, his family and companions who served alongside him and those who continue on his blessed path until the day of judgment and we ask Allah to make us among them Allah, dear brothers and sisters, if I told you right now , perform a verification. in

your

heart

and you feel that

your

heart

is alive you feel that you have pain in your chest you feel like you are having a heart attack you know subhanallah we live in the age of Google where suddenly, if you start to feel something inside that is a bit wrong, you go online and search for what is the root cause of why I feel this way about what is happening and when you think about this from a spiritual perspective, one of the beautiful features of the Sunnah of rasulullah is that the prophet, sallallahu alaihi wasallam It is very specific in telling us how to

diagnose

heart diseases and then how to cure those very specific diseases, but there is a general check that indicates where you stand and then you go into the details of the umrad of the various diseases and we all struggle and the same than our physical Hearts, we have to tend to it every day to make sure we keep it healthy or we can lose it and I wanted to start with a narrative that is attributed to the messenger but told more authentically.

Allah, he says that hearts are of four types, he uses four types of Hearts, the first is a heart that is completely focused on Allah and this is a heart that shines like a radiant lamp, it is filled with something beautiful and radiates light, You know? when you see something that is so beautiful you cannot contain it behind anything subhanallah the heart is so beautiful and the heart shines with that light and then he said a heart that is sealed a heart that is sealed and has a knot tied around it seal and then he said a heart that is upside down is to say that it is wrapped that is covered with something then he went on to say that as for the heart that is like a polished radiant lamp he said that it is the heart of the believer and what makes it radiate is the light of faith and then goes on to say as to the heart that is sealed, that is the heart of the unbeliever.

As for the heart that is upside down, that is the heart of a hypocrite, he knew it and then threw it away, belief came to him and then he threw it away like an upturned container and it throws out all the contents that could have healed that heart and this is The most interesting one, he said, asks for this heart that is wrapped. Above it is not sealed but it is wrapped is a heart that Iman has and is fed by two sources, belief and hypocrisy regarding the faith that is within it, the source of faith, it is as if you had a stream of water pure that goes inward.

From that, you have a current that gives it life. You know when you have heart blockages, depending on how many blockages you have, that will determine the health of your pulse. Here you have the healthy current, that current of pure water that goes. inside as for the source of hypocrisy that is inside is like an ulcer and he goes on saying that it feeds on pus and blood and he said whichever of the two currents is stronger at the time that is going to be the characteristic of the heart , then you have a heart that has some blockage but still has Iman inside it and this is most people, most people feed their hearts with contradictory sources and that's why the heart never really stabilizes, so where this? the health of my heart spiritually I'm going to start with what it is not because we live in a time where faith is only about emotions how do I feel how much I cry? the intensity of the emotion is what determines the intensity of faith and that is not an Islamic concept, she saw some people of the Next Generation and she saw them collapse in their prayer, collapse in their prayer and she said that the sahaba of the Prophet, salallahu alaihi wa sallam, they did not use to collapse in their prayer, but they had more Iman in their hearts, so if you judge by the intensity of the emotion, you would say that these people who read and then tremble and collapse are better than the companions of the Prophet, salallahu alaihi wa salam, but the hearts of the sahaba of rasulullah us are much more connected with Allah, so it is not the intensity of the emotion.

Allah truly says that the believers are those who when Allah is mentioned, their hearts tremble, something deep within them moves the heart. The rasulullah was like a kettle, a pot of boiling water when he made it. When reading the Quran you could hear the boka, the crying from the depths of his heart, it was not the loud lament that we might think of when we think of someone who is really crying, but it was something deep in the heart of the messenger , were the believers. Those to whom when Allah is mentioned something happens in their hearts, their hearts tremble inside and then when they hear the Quran being recited, their faith increases immediately, their Iman increases immediately, that is the pure water that enters the heart and they are completely dependent on their lord, so how can I judge where my heart is?

I need to feel two things to have a healthy beating heart and realize that the healthy heart is not the one that gives you paralyzing pain that you always feel pain and always feel something. so hard within you that you cannot function is a beating heart that you are aware of and that allows you to continue moving forward on your path towards what is good for you and that is why the heart of the believer feels two things the pulse of the heart of the believer is two things number one the pain of repentance the pain of repentance when you sin number two the pleasure of worship when you worship Allah I'm going to start with the two basic foundations of a heart that is healthy when you want check the health of your heart the pain that I feel, repentance when I commit a sin and the pleasure that I feel when I worship Allah and what influences what influences those two things Allah azzawajal says when they turned away Allah turned away their hearts Allah does not hit your heart with something that is sudden that hits you ruins but a person who constantly turns in one direction will find that his heart follows naturally the worst situation is those who walk away and commit spiritual suicide, they destroy their hearts spiritually and the opposite of that is those who strive on our path we guide them we open roads we clear the blockage of the heart now this is what you have to return to the city map the sincerity of your search Allah he describes how very beautiful the scripture that says wasalla Abu Bakr did not necessarily surpass the companions because he prayed more than them and he fasted more than them but there was something in his heart that opened something that just opened in the heart of Abu Bakr that the pulse of Abu Bakr's heart was that when he heard the prophet say anything, his heart went towards him. like no other human being on the face of the planets from the generation of the Sahaba until the last person who breathed on this Earth, no person's heart had that orientation of that orientation of truthfulness that when he hears Allah or the Messengers coming from outside and thus surpassed many with the amount of his prayer absolutely the Gate of Salah will call Abu Bakr on the day of judgment and the Gate of Siam fasting will call Abu Bakr on the day of judgment and the Gate of Salah will call Abu Bakr on the day of judgment come here, come here and the Gate of jihad will knock on Abu Bakr on the day of judgment will call on Abu Bakr on the day of judgment all doors I will call on Abu Bakr on the day of judgment, but that's because his heart was constantly towards each of those Doors and that's something about them Allah when he saw um's father told them listen, I want to tell you something about his son Allah.

So I want to talk to you about your son. I have never met anyone whose heart Allah occupied a greater part of than your son. Allah Hearts is radiating, he is seeking Allah, you don't even have to remind him. He is always there, he is not. lahia is not distracted he is focused on Allah now this is what it comes down to at the end of the foreign day Allah did not put two hearts in one chamber Allah did not give you two hearts he only gave you one and if your heart one of the benefits of this Ayah if your heart seeks if it seeks the sweetness of sin if it seeks the sweetness of sin Allah will not allow that heart to find sweetness it will not find sweetness or adoration because the heart seeks its sweetness, its joy Binge watch gay Netflix watching around you listening to all kinds of things constantly nourishing you besides what pleases Allah.

Your heart has another Master, it has another source. You are causing a blockage in your own heart and Allah gave you a heart. to feed and we know that the monk has two faces, a person who has two phases has two hearts or so he thinks he has two hearts, right? I can feed this heart today, then I will go to the mosque and read the Quran and then everything. It will be okay, I will listen to it and my heart will wake up naturally. No, you only have one heart, you only have one heart and where you seek the pleasure of that heart is where you will get it from and it takes time. it takes time to try to taste the sweetness of faith it evokes that sweetness that sweetness of ibada of worship it takes time to get there it doesn't come that fast but at the very least you start with what good deeds make me happy bad deeds make me sad It sounds very simple right, It says that a man asked the prophet, sallallahu alaihi wa sallam, what is faith if your good deeds make you happy and your bad deeds make you sad are you a maltster you are a foreign believer and what is sin listen to the Prophet's answer saw that we have limits but he said that something doesn't feel right inside you leave it leave what causes you doubts for what doesn't cause you doubts you have something fatal you have something inside you a natural orientation a healthy heart this doesn't feel right it doesn't sound right It doesn't resonate with me so the prophet saw leave it at that moment then you start with this repentance it's repentance I don't like to sin and I will fulfill the obligations you start with that good actions give you a minimum of happiness.

Bad deeds make you uncomfortable at the very least and the most effective way to

diagnose

your heart at that point is to observe your relationship with the Quran and if hearts were pure, they are never filled with the words of Allah they are never filled with the words of Allah. Allah now I want you to think about the physical heart, how do you know that your heart is not healthy when you start running? What's happening? You are left breathless and here spiritually. you get out of breath when you read the Quran you read a couple of pages and you get tired and you get bored and you want to put it aside if the heart is pure it doesn't fill you have more breath and what do you do when you physically want to increase your heart rate and be able to run longer, first you run half a mile until your heart adjusts, then you can run one mile, then you can run two miles, then you can run three miles, the same goes for the Quran that is why Ramadan is not natural for whoever just take the Quran and try to read it in Ramadan, it does not feel good, you get out of breath quickly because you are not running daily with your heart and keeping your heart towards Allah not the one who does not have any Quran in their hearts is like a destroyed house O Allah, we seek refuge in you from Allah, which is inability, castle and laziness that begins with the Quran and your relationship with ibada and noon and the Mystery of Allah, said: "If you are sick and cannot enjoy the taste of food, the same goes for ibada, if you are sick, it doesn't taste good, you don't taste the sweetness." of your ibada and then you have to eliminate the disease and then increase the spiritual exercise the good news is what the good news is what Allah foreigner someone asked me if my heart is dead or sick Josie said do you feel darkness in your heart After of committing a sin, then it is a sign that you have a light in your heart because if it had not been for that light in your heart you would not have felt the darkness of sin, so you still have a pulse, alhamdulillah, but you have to work.

Do it quickly and deal with your sin with repentance and turn with repentance and turn. Return your heart to Allah for Allah says: Do you find no sweetness in the reflection of the Quran or do you have locks in your hearts? You have to unlock the heart. first, treat your sin with repentance and recourse, treat your worship, your ibadah, as the food of the heart, after unblocking it with repentance consistently and a regimen, a habit, if I were to ask you what is your daily spiritual impulse, what is the dog of your heart every single day what is the exercise of your heart every day you tell me the memory of the morning you tell me that I read so much Quran a day you tell me that I pray my Sunnah when I can with my father if you tell me how much I was going you do in a day and that is taking a good pulse, but what do you combine with that with your brothers and sisters?

You can't feed your heart with junk food, spiritual junk food, and the spiritual junk food on our phones and on our computers is a lot, you can do it. Don't feed your heart spiritual junk food and then wait for a good workout to eliminate it. What is the font you are doing? What is the exercise you are doing? Subhanallah,you find every book of teskiah between getting rid of yourself.of destroying the defects and availing the means of Salvation among us by disciplining the self and then exercising it and the prophet saw seeking refuge in Allah from a heart that has no humility from a Dua that does not Ascend to the heavens of enough a self that is never full, that constantly longs and, from knowledge without benefit, we ask Allah to heal our hearts, to connect our hearts with the Qur'an, to connect our hearts with Divine Revelations and to take from them that which resembles the practice and the path of our Messengers and their family and their companions, well Allah in case of foreigners
