Wash your heart!!!

Wash your hands and stop the pandemic spread

This is the most common highlight we are reading and listening everywhere these days that washing hands can clean the germs which can cause a fatal pandemic called corona-virus disease. If just washing hands can prevent us from a fatal disease which is snatching lives all over the globe, Then how much effect can washing our hearts have?

Washing our hearts???

Yes washing our hearts from selfishness, thoughtless, and being unkind can prevent us from the pandemic of self-seeking.

You know what is the meaning of self-seeking?

Let me explain to you - selfish is a person who lacks consideration for other people, who is considered with their own's personal interests. Such a bad person the description sounds but what about self-seeking?? The selfish person thinks about their own desires, happiness, priorities, and we definitely dislike such a person but a self-seeking person is a person who can do good but does nothing because that person thinks I shouldn't be praised then why I do this? This is the higher order of selfishness. Such a person only serves their own ego. Such a person may decline help if only don't feel like it. This is a more lethal pandemic faced by our society, everywhere we encounter numb and desensitized people. Everyone is trying to fill the bank accounts from other's plates of food.

Our hearts are self-centered, self-regarding and uncaring, we are numb.

we are unaware of the emotions of others, we are numb to feel the pain of our friends and co-workers,

we are blind while letting down someone, we can't see the eyes full of fear of being alone and declined.

we are numb to feel the misery of an employee who is just expelled from the job and going to be homeless because of non-payment of a rental home,

We are numb to feel the hopelessness in the eyes of a patient who just declared a disease whose treatment is affordable for that patient,

We are numb to feel the paler skin of a student who just decided to left study due to unavailability of funds for the study,

We are numb to mourn with a mother who has a stillbirth,

We are numb to console a girl whose husband died at her young age,

We are numb at every spot where we aren't going to be appraised, applauded, and awarded by a Nobel prize.

We are just self-seeking creature, we are human just for ourselves, we wash our hands to keep us germs free but we don't wash our hearts to keep others free from our self-seeking behavior, we don't wash our hearts to remove the dust of selfishness which is making us numb, boastful and lethal for mankind.

Let's promise to be kind and lovable for the creation of Allah as he wants from us.

Worship Allah and associate nothing with Him, and to parents do good, and to relatives, orphans, the needy, the near neighbor, the neighbor farther away, the companion at your side, the traveler, and those whom your right hands possess. Indeed, Allah does not like those who are self-deluding and boastful. Quran 4:36
