* EVERY ACT OF WORSHIP HAS AN ESSENCE AND A PHYSICAL MANIFESTATION. *
🌷 * The manifestation of prayer is the standing and bowing and prostration *
_but its essence is the khushu' (the humility, awe, reverence, concentration) of Allah._
🌷 * The manifestation of fasting is to withhold from everything that breaks the fast from sunrise to sunset *
_but it's essence is taqwa (consciousness) of Allah._
🌷 * The manifestation of hajj is the tawaf and sa'ee and standing on Arafah and..and..and.. *
_but it's essence is honoring the symbols of Allah._
🌷 * The manifestation of du'a is the raising of hands and praise and request *
_but it's essence is the brokenness and need of Allah._
🌷 * The manifestation of Dhikr is saying Allahu Akbar and AlHamdulillah, and La illaha ila Allah etc, *
_but it's essence is the remembrance, reverence and love of Allah._
👉 _* For on the day of Judgment it is the hearts that will be exposed, and only those who come with a serene, repentant heart will be saved *
★ Let us then remember to monitor our hearts as severely as we monitor our actions
★ and remember that in this world we traverse distances with our feet, but in the hereafter distances are only traversed by our hearts.
