Only the Heart that is Founded on Monotheism Will Comprehend the Precious Qualities of Allah

Abandoning desires for the sake of Allah will rescue the servant from the punishment of Allah and will guarantee one to obtain His mercy.The precious qualities of Allah,the treasure of piety,pleasure,longing for Hum,joy,and the happiness found in being to close to Him will never happen to the heart that care for anyone or anything besides Allah even if he was among the people of worship,piety,and knowledge.

Allah ,the Exalted refused to put His precious qualities into the heart that associates others with Him and whose intention is to follow other than Him. Instead he entrusts His precious qualities to the heart that considers poverty as wealth as long as it is close to Allah,and wealth as poverty if it is not close to Allah.It will consider honor as humiliation and humiliation as honor as well as pleasure as punishment and punishment as pleasure.

As a whole , the servant who possesses such a heart neither knows the meaning of life without Allah nor the meaning of death,pain,sadness,grief,and distress that is associated with being far from Him.The pious servant gain two kinds of Paradise: the Paradise of this worldly life and the Paradise on the Day of Resurrection.
