The Quran guides us to the specific ingredients of a pure heart. These eight slices of the heart wheel were extracted directly from the Quran and Sunnah. On a scale of 1 to 10, where would you consider yourself in each of the eight slices? 1 being: needing a lot of improvement; 10 being: absolutely outstanding. Then, shade in the appropriate number of cells. If you complete it correctly, you should see a graphic representation of how rich your heart is. This measurement is a gift of self consciousness. Youll learn where your heart is at now, and what it will take to grow your heart to the closer levels of righteousness to Allah. Be honest with yourself, this is like your first trip to the doctor, so dont worry if the numbers come out low. The main thing is for you to see what needs to be worked on and cultivated.

Instructions
In order to SEE where I am going, I need to know what it would take for me to score a 10 on each of the Heart Wheel slices. Pick three things for each heart slice (or more if you wish) that, if you were to accomplish these three items, you would score a 10 out of 10! Remember, do not choose things that are impossible to achieve. For example, if you said, I must know Allah accepted this Salah from me, there is no way you are going to know that until you die. Instead, choose something like, If I pray 5 times a day in the Masjid, going early enough to pray my Sunnah, then, yes, that is something that is achievable.
Then, throughout this journal, work with focus on achieving the 10 out of 10 based on these goals.

A Reminder. Reminders nourish the believers heart and soul
Day 1
Why are you doing this journal thingy for 30 days? Is it really for Allah? This is the question that needs to be asked before we do anything. IF its not for Allah, then not only will it be a waste of time and effort, but we may actually get further away from Allah by doing it for other then His sake. I need not go around telling people that Im doing this journal, nor should I care if they find out. Humans dont matter when it comes to my heart. Its Allah that matters: is what I am doing pleasing to Him alone or not?

The tribe of Quraish Before Trillions of human souls walked this planet, living and dying. They were just shepherds and business men, unlettered, in the desert. His father wasnt there to support him, nor was his mother. Time could easily have forgotten them, like it forgot trillions of others, without even the slightest mention. None of this would have happened if not for one special night in a cave. After: Rasool Allah, sal Allahu alayhi wa sallam He was the greatest creation of Allah to walk this planet. He spent his life inviting human souls to turn with their heart back to Allah. His name continues to be mentioned in the heavens and earth. No messenger of God will have more followers then him on the day of Repayment. All because of his focus on his mission to purify himself and to guide others to purify themselves.

Day 2
When it comes to the materialistic world, one should look to those who have less then them in order to be thankful to Allah for what he has given us. However, when it comes to that which is with Allah, one MUST look to those who were higher so that they can strive to attain it. As a sage said, Always look to the stars! For you may never reach their lofty status, but in the darkness of the ocean, those stars will guide your way home!

Khadijah bint Khowaylid Before In Makkah, she was one of the wealthiest in business, sending out caravans and hiring men to manage the sales. Twice married, many had asked for her hand in marriage. She had all the qualities one would hope for in a spouse. She would turn down the requests, until the day she met a man whose nobility and trustworthiness was known to all. She asked to marry him. He accepted. After: Umm AlMumineen She became the wife of Rasul Allah, sal Allahu alayhi wa sallam. On the night he met Jibreel, alayhis salam, she was there wrapping him in blankets and comforting him. She was the first woman to accept Islam. One day, as Angel Jibreel sat with Allahs Messenger, sal Allahu alayhi wa sallam, she came knocking and Jibreel told him to give her the blessed news of a palace in paradise.

Heart Food~ Fasting Makes me Stronger

Day 3
No matter how big our hopes are, we cannot achieve those dreams if we are tired and sapped of energy most of the time. Lack of energy comes from not following the sunnah of Allahs Messenger, sal Allahu alayhi wa sallam, in regards to his eating and sleeping and exercise habits. One of the keys to maintaining spiritual and physical health is through fasting! Enjoy.

Abu Bakr Before Successful, wealthy, and of high character. Before the revelation began, Abu Bakr was always the close friend of Allahs Messenger, sal Allahu alayhi wa sallam. Many successful and wealthy arabs lived at his time, but Abu Bakr, radi Allahu 'anhu, was destined to become something much more. After: Khaleefat Rasul Allah The first man to accept Islam. When he heard of the message, he did not ask a single question. He replied by bearing witness that there is no god but Allah, and that Muhammad was his messenger. He was with Rasul Allah, sal Allahu alayhi wa sallam, in the cave during the Hijra. And upon the Prophets death, sal Allahu alayhi wa sallam, he fought to bring the entire Ummah back to their deen. May Allah be pleased with him.

Heart Food~ You are not Perfect

Day 4
If perfection is your goal, then you have the lowest standards! Why the lowest? Because perfection cannot be achieved by any human being. Perfection belongs to Allah alone! Thus, if this is your standard, you will never achieve it, and then you will just give up. Instead, focus on what you are doing right, and keep growing that plant. And when, not if, when you do something wrong, something displeasing to Allah, bounce back immediately in Tawbah to Allah. Quickly come back and make things better. Those kind of people, those who come back to Allah the fastest, are the most blessed children of Adam.

Fatima bint Muhammad Before A young girl growing up in Makkah. Her mother was Khadijah, radi Allahu 'anha, and her father was Allahs chosen one. At the age of 5 her father came home to tell her that he had become a Messenger of Allah. By his side, although she was still a child, she followed his instruction and defended him again and again. After: Sayyidat Nisaa Ahl AlJannah Her father, sal Allahu alayhi wa sallam, married her to Ali, radi Allahu 'anhu, who was only a few years older then her. Together, the young couple gave birth to AlHasan, and then later, AlHusain, the grandsons of Allahs Messenger, sal Allahu alayhi wa sallam. Her walk and speech reminded you of her fathers, sal Allahu alayhi wa sallam. Rasul Allah, sal Allahu alayhi wa sallam, said about her that she is the sayyidah of all the women of paradise.

Day 5
If one gets in their car and has no destination in mind, they will never arrive at the nothing in their mind. You will never arrive if you dont know where you are going or take actions to get there. Paradise is something that must be hoped for day and night. Those who enter Jannah are those who entered it 10000 times before they died. Because they hoped and prayed for it so much, they lived their lives striving towards it. Envision yourself entering the highest level of Jannah! And now work for it!

Umar ibn AlKhattab Before He was one of the most harshest against the Muslims. Not only would he torture his servants, but he would volunteer to inflict punishment on others who had accepted the message of Islam. Because of the way he and others treated the Muslims, they had to leave their homes and family and possessions so that they could worship Allah in peace. Who would have known? After: Ameer ul Mumineen The Prophet, sal Allahu alayhi wa sallam, made dua for his guidance and Allah accepted. The day he became Muslim it was a conquest for the believers. After the death of Abu Bakr, radi Allahu 'anhu, he became the Khaleefah. His rule was blessed with mercy to humanity. Many of us are Muslim today because of the countries conquered under his rule. If you speak about Umer, you speak about justice. He was promised paradise.

Day 6
It is said that a person will do more to avoid pain then achieve pleasure. Lets say you dont feel like working for Jannah. Well then, lets introduce ourselves to Hellfire. There are only two destinations. Everything in life is a gift of Allah, its not ours. Its a test to see if we will truly be thankful to Allah, by doing what he commanded and staying away from what He forbade. All these commandments are meant to raise us to be humans in the greatest mold. Anything less is subhuman. Paradise or Hellfire? Your choice.

After: Umm AlMumineen She was wed to Allahs Messenger, sal Allahu alayhi wa sallam, and became his most beloved. She studied his home life intimately, and became one of the most learned Muslims and narrators of hadith.

Day 7
We tend to not disobey Allah until we think that no one is watching us. If only we knew. The angels of Allah are watching us all the time, writing everything that we do. Our very body parts that we use to obey or disobey are watching us and will testify on the day of Repayment. The earth that we walk on will bear witness to whatever we did on its back. There is a book that records everything, small or large, that we do; if you read it you would be amazed! And above all, Allah is looking down on us. Youre not alone.

He was successful in Allahs Messenger, sal Allahu alayhi wa sallam, married him to his business, with the most upright of character. When he became daughter. And when she passed away, he married her to his other Muslim, there was no one to abuse him because of his noble daughter. With the wealth that Allah granted him, he purchased status in society. But it was his own uncle that took it upon himself the well of Roma and prepared the army of alUsrah. In both to inflict the punishment. Fleeing with his wife, he left his family, cases, he was promised paradise in return.

Whatever good or bad happens in life, it happens by the will of Allah. We cannot just get up and be guided, Allah taala has to grant us the tawfeeq (favor) for that guidance. When we attempt to come closer to Allah, the doors of guidance are opened and come closer, faster, to us. But we must never forget that it is Allah that allows this. And if this heart we are seeking is in the hands of Allah, then lets take a moment right now and pray that Allah accepts this effort and grants us that nearness to Him, our Creator.

The Arabic word for balance is Adl, also translated as justice! The purpose of this journal is not to take one away from their other duties. Family, business, fitness, etc. In reality, when someone truly understands what Ibadah means, they will realize that in everything noble that one does, there worship of Allah is found.

Day 10
If anything on earth reaches a state of excellence, it is the promise of Allah that He will bring it back down to earth. Nothing on earth remains in the pinnacle state. And because of that, whenever we get something, when its our day to boast, we should instead humble ourselves to Allah. Imagine what life would be like if we loved each other, thought everyone else was better then us in some way, and truly sincerely sought to treat people good because we truly sincerely hoped for Allahs pardon. Be humble. It feels so good.

Ikrimah ibn Abi Jahl Before One often hears of what Khalid ibn AlWaleed did in the battle of Uhud. But we do not often hear that it was Ikrimah who equally shared in that turnaround. The son of he who was known as the Firown of this Ummah, Ikrimah fought long and hard against the Muslims, many of whom died at his hands. During the conquest of Makkah, the command was given that he was to be executed. After: AlMuhajir, AlMujahid After fleeing Makkah, his wife interceded for him, he came to Allahs Messenger as a Muhajir and a Mujahid. He swore he would spend twice as much in Islam as he did against it, and that he would fight twice as hard. He kept his promise. In the battle of Yarmook, he was one of the top Muslim generals to carry the Muslims to victory. He was killed Shaheed. Only Allah knows who will be guided.

An-Najaashee Before He was the king of Abyssinia. As a Christian, he and his bishops considered Eesa ibn Maryam to be the son of God. Subhanah. The power he possessed would normally blind a person, as it did the king of Persia when he received the invitation of Islam, as well as the king of the Romans. But An-Najaashee was sincere in his belief in Allah. After: ArRajol AsSaalih When the Muslims migrated to Abyssinia, a delegation from Makkah was sent out to hunt them and bring them back. They stood before An-Najaashee and pleaded their case. Upon hearing what they had to say about Easa ibn Maryam, An-Najaashee began to weep. He gave protection to all the Muslims. When he died, Jibreel brought the news to Allahs Messenger, sal Allahu alayhi wa sallam, and the Sahabah prayed Janazah over his absent body.

Heart Food~ Stress, thy name is Ingratitude

Day 16
Do you ever get frustrated or stressed? Is it because, perhaps, you are focused on yourself at the moment? Probably. Focusing on oneself = stinginess = frustration = ingratitude to Allah. Instead of focusing on ourselves today, why dont we focus on others? How is their health? How long have they been waiting in line? Maybe their perspective is something valid that I havent considered before? Whatever it is, stress comes from focusing on ourselves. Happiness, on the other hand, comes from upright righteous character.

Heart Food~ Abundance, thy name is Shukr

Day 17
Whenever there is a feeling of abundance, it tends to bring out the best in people to share. When one feels like there isnt enough of something, it tends to bring out the miser within. Ask yourself today, hasnt Allah given me total abundance? What can I share today? When the issue of sharing comes up, just like when we were in grade school, when we were told to share, the fear of there not being enough would cause us to hold tightly. Not so with Sadaqah. The more we give, the more we shall receive. Thats Allahs promise!

Aasiyah Before Most mothers dream of marrying their daughter to someone rich and famous. Aasiyah was given to Firown as a wife. She bore no children, and so on the day a little baby boy washed up on her palace shore, she beseeched Firown to spare his life. He submitted. After: An example for all believers When the message of Musa, alayhis salam, was revealed she believed in Allah in the palace of a man who claimed that he was the Lord, most High. For what she believed in, she was tortured until death . She had no one to turn to, except Allah! And so she prayed, My Lord, build a home for me beside you in Paradise. And save me from Firown and his deeds, and save me from the tyrants.

Heart Food~ Fear of Allahs Anger

Day 18
Just as Allah is the most Merciful, He is also the most severe in punishment. This is not something that people like to focus on, but in order for a person to be saved, the hope in Allahs Mercy must go hand and hand with massive fear of Allahs punishment. How many nations before us were destroyed by that which their own hands reaped? How many arrogant tyrants had their thrones taken away from them because of their decision to turn their backs on Allah? Its not a question of, Can Allah do it? He already has.

Heart Food~ Important, but not urgent

Day 19
Our lives boil down to how we spend our days, hours, and minutes. If we spend most of our time sleeping, eating, or entertaining ourselves, then a life without fulfillment is the only result. The key is to focus on the important things in life, those things that other people may not consider so urgent. Almost everything in the heart wheel is important, but unfortunately for many people, its not an urgent matter. Pump up your heart by avoiding distractions, and focus on what is truly important.

Heart Food~ Fard for our Own Good

Day 20
There are steps one must take in order to be successful in this life and the next. One of the fundamental flaws in self-help books is that there is nothing in it that is Fard. Sure, the authors encourage actions, but there is no Lord to direct those souls. Not so in our Deen. When Allah commands us to pray five times a day, anchoring our hours to Him, making it Fard upon us for our own good, He is training us to live the good life (and life hereafter). Allah is pure and only accepts those people who have purified themselves.

For every limb and joint of our body, every day, we must thank Allah. How do we thank Allah? Through the charity of just being outstanding with Allahs creation.

Heart Food~ It just keeps getting better

Day 26
How do you take a good thing and make it better? Answer: by being thankful to Allah for it. Thankfulness is the secret ingredient to happiness on earth and in the hereafter. If you want to enjoy it all, be thankful. Thankfulness isnt only an action of the tongue. Thankfulness is done in action as well: by following the commandments of Allah, desiring nearness to Him, and keeping far away from that which Allah forbade. Kufr, in its root meaning, means ungratefulness. Its the root of disbelief.

When some think of forgiveness, they think that it must come after sin. Not so. The best time, actually, to ask for forgiveness is after a noble deed. Perhaps there were shortcomings in the deed. Perhaps there was an intention that was not purely for Allah. Seal the deed by beseeching Allahs forgiveness. This is what Allahs Messenger, sal Allahu alayhi wa sallam, did on the day he conquered Makkah. How far You are, O Allah, from imperfection; we did not worship You in a way befitting of your Majesty.
