Reclaim Your Heart

Product Information

As a result of it being taken, we turn to Allah wholeheartedly. In that desperation and need, we ask, we beg, we pray. Through the loss, we reach a level of sincerity and humility and dependence on Him which we would otherwise not reach—had it not been taken from us. Through the loss, our hearts turn entirely to face Him.” Greatness is for those who purify their hearts, waiting for the Divine call. Greatness is for those who see life as a fleeting moment. Greatness is for those who see love, betrayal, disappointments, cravings, desires, needs, and wants, as materials of this world. For true love lies in sanctifying one’s heart for the one whose love was the first and will be the last — Allah!
