🐦Long for the Heart of a Bird🐦
✪ Allah’s Messenger
(sal Allahu alaihi wa sallam) said:
“There will enter Jannah people whose hearts will be like the hearts of birds.”[Muslim]
✪ This hadith sums up
✪ This hadith sums up
the qualities of the people worthy of
Jannah. ✪
➀ Firstly, just as the heart of birds are free of jealousy,
the hearts of
the people deserving Jannah are free of jealousy, rancour, and
envy.
➁Secondly, just as birds are always alert (cautious of any
danger),
the hearts of the people of Jannah are also alert and wakeful. They worry
about their Akhirah, they are alert to not stray off the Straight Path,
they are vigilant against the whisperings of Shaitaan, and their hearts are
active in the remembrance of Allah (subhana wa ta’ala).

➁Thirdly, just as birds trust in Allah for their food, the
people of Jannah
have complete trust in Allah (subhana wa ta’ala). Birds don’t store food for
the next day, nor indeed for any contingency. They go out hungry from
their nests every morning but return with full stomachs every evening.
The people worthy of Jannah similarly have complete trust (Tawakkul) in
Allah regarding not only their sustenance, but, their very existence.
