The Sight of the Heart

.....................................................................................................................

Hazrat Junaid Baghdadi (Rahmatullah ‘alaih) continued : “And with the power of his inner self he sees Allah all the time, the illumination of his Master, and Allah’s fear has burnt out all other love from his heart …”

In other words, ‘a lover of Allah sees Allah with the eyes of his heart, which is burnt by the fire of Allah’s fear.’

When the heart burns with the fear of Allah Ta’ala, then like the candle which melts with the heat of its flame, thus giving off light, this heart also, gives off light.

For us to see anything, we require light : either the light of the sun, moon, a candle, a torch or a light bulb. Whilst the outside light is necessary, we also require the pupil of the eye. When both are present then will we be able to see.

In a similar vein, for the heart to see, it requires the light of the Qur`aan Sharief and the Sunnah of Rasulullah (Sallallaahu Alayhi Wasallam) . When a person burns his heart with the love and fear of Allah Ta’ala, and the Ishq and Ittiba (obedience) of His Beloved Rasul e , then he sees that which we do not see. …He perceives Allah with the eyes of his heart.

This fear of Allah is yet another department or sphere in our lives which is completely neglected.
