Our emotions are the best teachers. With each trial and tribulation that comes our way we experience different emotions. The emotions which life presents to us transform our innocent naïve personalities and it starts to form and construct our whole existence. Our emotions are continuously transforming the soul, testing the heart, and challenging the mind. Our mind, body, and soul are forced to experience happiness, and sadness, trauma, and relief, comfort, and distressed, love and hate, jealousy and kindness, healthiness, and sickness, the fortune of wealth and the misfortune of poverty and many other emotions.
Emotions will overpower logical, and the heart will overpower the mind. Our inner-emotions whether we try to hide it or not will destabilized any coherent thought at times of emotional turmoil. That is because our emotions are directly connected to life. Our heart is able to connect with and understand all that we experience in life, it is our dear companion, our own personal friend, our little hidden secret. We conceal what the heart feels, in order to conceal our emotions. And it is through our hearts that we understand life, and its everlasting dilemmas. We learn patience, and gentleness, and through it we are able to understand others which we have never met or saw, through it we shape our outer-garments, and through it we see the light, and it is by purifying the heart with Islam that we find the guidance of Allah. And when our heart finds that light, the guides from Allah, our emotions are at ease with life itself.
We are able to love by using our hearts, and we are able to hate by using our hearts, we show sympathy and at the same time cruelty by using our hearts. Our mind is effected by our emotions, our body is effected by our emotions, and even our soul is effected by our emotions. Is there anything more powerful and profound than our own emotions.
I hope you all benefit from it by the will of Allaah.
