Searching for that sound Heart
The human heart like ours, always need to find something to fill in the gaps in our heart.
You know how you start feeling agitated as you sit and doing nothing.
How you always have the urge to check your social media as you start to feel missing out.
How you need music to fill your emotion.
But at the end you never had enough. You wanting for more, more feeds, more songs, more friends and yet nothing is enough. That is our condition when we don't have a sound heart.
It is the normal human condition when we always focus on what we are missing and not on what we have. That is one of the reason why we always try to find something to cope with that incompleteness.
Each and everyone of us, are searching for happiness. However each and everyone of us have our own way to define what is happiness. Living in this society that think material,fame and power are the biggest purpose of this life. People said that once you have enough materialistic aspect of your life, you will be happy. Next, people will say that you need to be in relationship, to be with someone that can make you happy. Then list goes on and on without end. because nothing is enough to fulfill our need and desire. And we can see that the numbers of people with fame and gold who committing suicide are increasing year by year because we are still empty inside.
What is it that is still missing? Why we still feel empty even when we have lots.
What is the real happiness?
The Day when there will not benefit [anyone] wealth or children. But only one who comes to Allah with a sound heart. And Paradise will be brought near [that Day] to the righteous. 26:88-90
The higher level of happiness than just the physical happiness; the inner happiness. The sound heart and peace, that is the true happiness that can help to fill our gaps in our heart. Not only sound heart is the need in this world but it is the ticket to Jannah.

Those who have believed and whose hearts are assured by the remembrance of Allah . Unquestionably, by the remembrance of Allah hearts are assured." 13:28
Heart is the master of the human mind and soul. Our heart and main are connected to each other. When our heart is content, our mind will start to think in a positive manner and when our heart are sick, so does our mind.
The sound heart is the key to happiness, in order to achieve that level of contentment, we have to commit in the remembrance of Allah through Prayer and Zikr. Without these two things, our heart are death. We are not at peace. We always feel as if something is missing.
O you who have believed, remember Allah with much remembrance.And exalt Him morning and afternoon.It is He who confers blessing upon you, and His angels [ask Him to do so] that He may bring you out from darknesses into the light. And ever is He, to the believers, Merciful. 33:41-43
From my personal experience, I used to feel sad and empty without reason. I always care for what people think of me. I have my career, living with my family, doing everything that I love but nothing is enough. Then my mum remind me of something that I always do but never really put my heart into it. Because after all this times I am do it out of the routine. I don't absorb the benefit of doing that to myself. She reminded me of my prayers and my Quran.

Have you ever think why our 5 daily prayers don't help us to feel better? Why after we pray, we don't feel content and the calmness that everyone and every Ustaz talk about is missing?
You know how when we first learn to do something, we try to do it so consciously because we are so afraid of doing it wrong. But once we mastered it and it become part of our routine, we started doing it so carelessly. We no longer putting our heart into it. For example when you see the young driver on the road, learning how to driver. You can see how they are extra careful with everything. Same goes to our prayer, because we doing it of out the routine, we no longer putting much effort in doing it. That is why we don't feel the effect of it to our heart. Because when we pray, our heart is not there. Our prayer become the action without soul. Like a broken radio, repeating the same verse without consciousness.
Our heart is the most important part of our body. Remember how the heart beat before the central nervous system. How people diagnose with brain death is still alive BUT not living as their heart are still beating. Who make that heart beat? Allah. He is the owner of the heart. If we are searching for the sound heart, we need to ask from the Owner of The Heart, The One that can Protect it from any HEART DISEASES. Ar-Rashid; The Guide to Right Path.
ONCE YOU HAVE ALLAH, YOUR SEARCH FOR HAPPINESS WILL STOP BECAUSE YOU NOW HAVE EVERYTHING THAT YOU NEED. AND HE WILL PROVIDE EVERYTHING ACCORDING TO YOUR NEED NOT DESIRE. INSYAALLAH.
