How Tawheed is a means of ease and delight for the heart

Tawheed Is A Means Of Ease And Delight For The Heart

Shamsuddeen Muhammad Bin Abee Bakr Ibn Qayyim Aj-Jawzeeyah [D. 751 A.H.] [رحمه الله] said:

❝From the greatest means of ease and delight for the heart, is: Tawheed, and depending upon its perfection, its strength and its increase will give delight to the heart of its companion.

Allaah [تعالى] said:

‏﴿أَفَمَنْ شَرَحَ صَدْرَهُ لِلإِسْلاَمِ فَهُوَ عَلَى نُورٍ مِّن رَّبِهِ﴾

«Is he whose heart Allaah has opened to Islam, so that he is in light from His Lord [as he who is non-Muslim]?» [Zumar: 22]

Allaah [تعالى] said:

‏﴿فَمَن يُرِدِ اللهُ أَنْ يَهْدِيَهُ يَشْرَحْ صَدْرَهُ لِلإِسْلاَمِ وَمَن يُرِدْ أَن يُضِلَّهُ يَجْعَلْ صَدْرَهُ ضَيِّقًا حَرَجًا كَأَنَّمَا يَصَّعّدُ فِي السَّمَاءِ﴾

«And whomsoever Allah wills to guide, He opens his breast to Islam, and whomsoever He wills to send astray, He makes his chest closed and constricted, as if he is climbing up to the sky.» [An’aam: 125]

So guidance and Tawheed is from the greatest means of delight to the heart. Shirk and misguidance is from the greatest means of constraint of the heart and what distresses it.❞
