This book uniquely shows the direct correlation between outward actions and the heart, giving us insights into how various actions impact the state of our hearts. Ultimately, it gives us a way to internalize the wisdom and purpose of acts of devotion, resulting in the purification of the heart and nearness to Allah.
"Within every human being is a Kingdom. The heart is the ruler of this Kingdom, and the rest of the body are its subjects. If the heart rules with justice and excellence, the body will perform good actions and the Kingdom will flourish.
If, however, the heart neglects its duties, the body will be in a state of disobedience to Allah and the entire Kingdom will suffer the consequences. Allah made this Kingdom so crucial that through it the eternal and everlasting dominion of the next life is either gained or lost."
Readers of this work will gain a deeper appreciation into how outward actions have spiritual consequences.
Some of the topics covered are:
• The Tongue & Its Effects
• Looking at Creation with Love & Mercy
• The Impact of Shaking Hands
• Attending to the Ending of Our Lives
