Your Heart Reflects your Sight<\/h1>\n

Personal Ethics<\/h1>\n

God almighty has provided a man with an eye to be able to see what\u2019s happening in his surroundings<\/p>\n

God almighty has provided a man with an eye to be able to see what\u2019s happening in his surroundings. It is the one of the greatest blessings that God has bestowed on his servants. But a man may make mistakes in the way of benefitting this eye, so he falls in the darkness of thanklessness when he insists on seeing through his eyes what upsets God The Mighty, His Majesty. So he disobeys God with his blessings instead of thanking him for it. He may also pretend to be neglectful or miss what God almighty, whose saying is the truth, says in his holy book:\u201d The hearing, the sight, and the heart are all responsible for it\u201d. [1]<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
He who opens his eyes to see the unlawful, God takes his insight to see the right because the punishment is related to the act itself. So he who lowers his gaze, God opens his insight. On the other hand, he who opens his eyes to see the unlawful, God takes his insight and deviates his heart (seeking refuge with Allah). God almighty says:\u201d Say to the believing men that they should lower their gaze and guard their modesty: that will make for greater purity for them: And Allah is well acquainted with all that they do\u201d. [2] Yes, God is well acquainted with all that they do. He sees their deeds, however they are great or simple. He knows their actions and silence and is always well informed of everything. He doesn\u2019t miss any of their deeds:\u201d And He is with you wherever you are, and God sees what you do\u201d. [3]<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
It was narrated that the wise of the nation, The Commander of the Faithful (a.s), says:\u201dHe who honors himself despises his desire\u201d.[4] This is regarding a man who honors himself, but he who despises himself and starts with following his desires, he ends in humiliation and misfortune that differs according to the desire he followed. This becomes a torture that hurts his heart. It was said in the past:<\/div>\n
Some needs that were considered pleasure for its people in youth<\/div>\n
Have transformed into torture in old age<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Among what was transmitted from the biography of the Commander of the Faithful (a.s), pleading for God\u2019s mercy on those who control their desires and calm themselves. So he (a.s) says:\u201d God bestows mercy on a man who leaves his desire and prevents himself since a self is the farest of being prevented from doing its desire. It is still moving towards committing a sin related to desires\u201d.[5]<\/div>\n

The Mushaf (book) of the Sight<\/strong><\/div>\n
We are talking about an important topic that most people were distressed by. It is looking at what God almighty has forbidden. Therefore we agreed on starting this important chapter with what was reported by our master, the Commander of the Faithful, Al Imam Ali (a.s) when he says:\u2019 A heart is the mushaf of insight\u201d.[6] The Quran was named as \u201cmushaf\u201d because it was inclusive which means that it includes all the books written between the two sides. It was one of the nicknames of the holy Quran so you can say \u201cI read the mushaf\u201d…<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
One of the aspects of the meaning of the saying of the Commander of the Faithful (a.s), \u201cThe heart is the mushaf of the sight\u201d is that the heart is a sheet in which is engraved with what is perceived by the sight because a visual perception is located in the heart and the sight is a mechanism for it, as if the sight is a pen that draws the sensible things on the paper of the heart.[7]<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
It is worth noting that we are required to reflect on the holy Mushaf, the Noble Quran, and the verses it contains, as well as we must monitor the ideas and concepts that come to it at all times, to either agree with them and adopt them, or reject and refute them. So why don\u2019t we entrust ourselves with contemplating what the heart contains of images, and observing what it receives of new ideas, imports, and images, so that we get satisfied with them or return them to where they came from. Any person is able, with what God Almighty has given him, to carry out on his own the operations of monitoring, sorting, organizing and evaluating the thoughts that come to the heart[8], and thus canceling old consents to use previous heart thoughts. All of this without letting anyone be aware of what is happening inside him. It was narrated that Al Imam Al Sadiq (a.s) says: \u201cWhoever guards his heart from heedlessness, his soul from lust, and his mind from ignorance, then he has entered the diwan of the alert.\u201d[9]<\/div>\n
