"There is a Polish for everything that takes away Rust ~ and the polish for the heart is ...? the remembrance of Allah." (Bukhari) Al-Bayhaqee relates from Ibn 'Umar [radiallaahu 'anhu] ... that AlIah's Messenger [sallallahu 'alayhi wa salaam] said:- "For everything there is a polish, and the Polish for the hearts is the 'DHIKR'... [remembrance] of Allah. There is nothing more potent in saving a person from the punishment of Allah than the dhikr of Allah." It was said:- Not even Jihaad in the path of Allah {?} Prophet [sallallahu 'alayhi wa salaam]replied:- "Not even if you were to continue striking with your sword until it breaks." [Source:-Saheeh: Related by Ahmad (4/352), from Mu'aadh ibn Jabal [radiallaahu 'anhu]. Note:- The polish for a rusty heart is the dhikr of ALLAH! This is because Dhikr is like a polish [which polishes the heart] like a shiny mirror. When dhikr is left, the rust returns. But when dhikr resumes...? then the heart is again polished ! Ibn Qayyim al-Jawziyya (rahimahullah) said:- "Doubtless, a heart grows tarnished like brass or silver, and its polish is by remembrance, which may make it shine like a crystal mirror.... So when one neglects the remembrance it Tarnishes... and when he returns it shines!!! Since the heart is tarnished by two[2] things... Heedlessness and Sin- it is polished by two[2] things... Remembrance and asking Forgiveness." [Source:- Ibn Qayyim al-Jawziyya-The Invocation of God] My ' Salaams' To You All. Y a s m i n. "Never Despair Of The Mercy Of Allah" Say, 'Indeed, my Prayer, my Rites of Sacrifice, my Living and my Dying are for ALLAH, Lord of the Worlds'. {'Quran'~Surat Al-'An`am -# 6-162.} ' Son of Adam! You are nothing but a number of days, whenever each day passes then part of you has Gone. [Al-Hasan Al-Basree]
