Atrophy 🥀

 بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم،

Just like muscles need to be moved to stay in shape and good health, so does the mind, and the heart.

A stale mind, one that is idle, doesn't react, doesn't initiate, doesn't seek, will suffer atrophy.

Remember that Allāh commanded us repeatedly to reflect and think and take heed. If you stop doing that, you'll only harm yourself.

A stale heart, one that is idle, doesn't react, doesn't initiate, doesn't seek, will suffer atrophy.

Remember that Allāh commanded us repeatedly to do good, show mercy, repent, reckon our own selves before He—Exalted is He—does.

A heart is sealed when it just...exists.

قال تعالى: { لمن شاء منكم أن يتقدم أو يتأخر } [المدثر: 37]

"To whoever wills among you to proceed or stay behind". Tr. Sahih International.

Seeking good leads to more good.
Seeking ideas leads to more ideas.

If you move, things move.

Don't expect those beautiful water ripples from stillness.

The fact that Allāh told us that we just have to seek means, has such a deep meaning, you won't understand unless you apply it. Even so, you'll only understand it to the extent of your application. It's too deep for any human consciousness.

Move, Allāh yahdīk, move!
