“The heart in its journey toward Allah is like a bird: love is its head, and fear and hope are its two wings. If the head and the two wings are sound, the bird flies well. But if the head is cut off or one of the wings is damaged, the bird cannot fly.” (Madarij al-Salikin)

The one thing that truly amazed me and totally changed my perspective about people was when I was reading a book and saw a hadith that states, "Nothing is more respected by Allah than Ibn-e-Adam." There was that exact word " Ibn-e-Adam" not Muslim or Momin just human. Whenever I see somebody, I see them as Allah's art , Allah's most respectable creation. I fall in love with my Lord again and again.

There’s a concept in Islam that has always moved me deeply, Allah swt is to you as you see Him. It comes from the 15th Hadith Qudsi where Allah says: “I am as My servant thinks of Me.”(Sahih Al-Bukhari, Sahih Muslim) If we think good of Allah swt, if we believe He is merciful, kind, giving and close, Allah becomes those things. We start to look at life differently. Every delay becomes meaningful and every test becomes manageable If we think badly of Allah swt, if we imagine him being angry, always punishing us, distant, then every blessing and prayer feels like a burden. So yes Allah is who we see him as and determines what how the heart truly sees everything else.
