*Weigh Your Iman and Love for Allah with this Scale..*

Ibn al-Qayyim رحمه الله said:

The one who loves someone, finds pleasure in serving and being devoted to the one he loves. Every time the love gets stronger, the pleasure of his obedience and servitude becomes more complete. So let the slave weigh his Iman and his love for *ALLĀH* with this scale and let him contemplate:

Are we amongst who find pleasure(in serving and being devoted to *ALLAH SUBAHANAHU WATA'ALA*?

*MAY ALLAH SUBAHANAHU WATA'ALA GRANT US ALL THE VERY BEST OF UNDERSTANDING, ACCEPTANCE, SINCERITY AND PATIENCE IN STRIVING TO EARN HIS PLEASURE AND MAY HE FORGIVE ALL OUR SHORTCOMINGS.AMEEN.*

*The Pleasure that is Completed When the Soul Leaves the Body*

Ibn al-Qayyim رحمه الله said:

*Every other pleasure will be void when the soul leaves the body, except the pleasure of knowledge and Imān. Indeed this pleasure becomes complete after the soul leaves the body, because the body and its distractions used to diminish and obscure this pleasure (while still alive).*

So when the soul leaves the body, it finds complete gratification from what it attained from beneficial knowledge and righteous actions.

So whoever wishes to pursue the tremendous pleasure and prefers the everlasting bliss, then it is found in knowledge and Iman which is the completion of a persons happiness.

*MAY ALLAH SUBAHANAHU WATA'ALA GRANT US ALL THE VERY BEST OF UNDERSTANDING, ACCEPTANCE, SINCERITY AND PATIENCE IN STRIVING TO EARN HIS PLEASURE AND MAY HE FORGIVE ALL OUR SHORTCOMINGS.AMEEN.*
