Whenever A Person Conceals A Thing In His Heart—Surely Allah Knows:

Image by author

Allah even hears the thoughts that remain trapped in your mind, those which you have not even articulated. He says, “Surely Allah knows best what is hidden in the heart”. (Qur'an 5:7).

Imam Ali (a.s) says: Whenever a person conceals a thing in his heart it manifests itself through unintentional words From his tongue and the expressions of his face (Nahjul Balāgha, H. 26).

The Prophet (saw) says: One who enjoins good should do so using good means. (Kanz al-‘Ummāl, H. 5523).

Imam Husayn (r.z) is a true reflection of this Hadith. He spoke to the people throughout his journey to Karbala. He also tried to guide the people who stood against him in Karbala.

“O son of Adam, when you see that your Lord, the Glorified, bestows His Favors on you while you disobey Him, you should Fear Him (take warning that His Wrath may not turn those very blessings into misfortunes).”(Nahj al-Balagha)

“And know that Allah knows what is within yourselves, so beware of Him. And know that Allah is Forgiving and Forbearing”. (Al-Baqarah 2:235)

According to a Hadith narrated by Abu Hurairah, Jibreel (peace be upon him) asked the Prophet (saw) about ihsaan. He said: “It is to worship Allah as if you can see Him, For although you cannot see Him, He can see you.” (Narrated by al-Bukhaari:50 and Muslim:9).

Ibn al-Qayyim (May Allah have mercy on him) said:

Righteous people are agreed that being aware that Allah, may He be exalted, knows — every thought that crosses a person’s mind is a means of protecting him From Falling short in what he does.

The one who bears in mind the Fact that Allah is watching his thoughts and his heart — Allah will protect him From Falling short in what he does both in secret and openly.

(Madaarij as-Saalikeen: 2/1492).

So, the point is — that there is no veil between Allah (swt) and His servant, He is our creator, and nothing is hidden From Him. By disobeying our Creator — who is the controller of everything, there is only loss For us in this life and the Hereafter.

May Allah(swt) make us among His obedient ones and accept our Good deeds. (Ameen).
