Abu hafsa clare a former visually impaired wrestler speaks about how it is actually the hearts that are blind.This video really touched me.We are blesse with all faculties still we dont see the beauty of Allah s creation that is all around us, still it doesnt humble us and make us obedient slaves of our Creator.And here you have this believer , who became a muslim just by hearing an ayat and has memorised the Quran and is patient with this big trial in his life.How many aayaat of the Quran do we hear, still nothing happens to our hearts, how many of us can say that we have memorised the Quran and have given it its due by implementing it in our lives and how many of us are thankful for this great blessing of sight that we take so forgranted.

A reminder first for me and you:

 The eyes were given to admire the creation and power of Allah and thus to worship Him. How is it that we use this very gift of Allah in disobeying Him. Wasting our precious lives on TV, movies, seeing things that the eye wasnt created to see.

The ears were created for them to hear the truth, the beautiful words of its Creator, the Quran. They werent created for them to be polluted by filthy language of hip hop or pop and music or lies and vanity. 

The mouth was created for it to utter words of truth and sincerity and what better words to utter than the Words of the One who taught our father Adam(as) the first words of knowledge.The Quran-The speech of Allah.

The limbs were created not to be utilised in the disobedience of their Creator and their Fashioner. The design of the human body is as if it was created only to humble itself before its Creator.Science tell us now that the most comfortable posture for the human body is the foetal shape.Doesnt the human being have a humble beginning prostrating to his creator even in the womb of its mother.

Let us use these gifts of Allah in His obedience. Let us give these faculties there due by worshipping Allah through them because thats what they were given for in the first place.

May Allah make us live in true obedience towards Him.
