A seed of a plant can’t be germinated unless it is covered in fertilizable soil. Similarly, the seed of faith can’t be grown unless it is sowed in fertilizable heart. Here, fertilizable heart implies soft heart, the heart which is always opened to accept good advice.
Now you might think what seed of faith is an object of my blog. That seed of faith is Kalma tayyab ( the words of purity) which contains two sentences “there is no god, but Allah and Muhammad (peace be upon him) is His Messenger". When a man sincerely recites these two lines with the intention of surrendering himself to the will of Allah Almighty, he is converted into Islam and can be called as Muslim.
Apparently, it seems two simple sentences, but how much cares and attentions you need to pay to the growth of faith at its initial stage. Truly, a farmer can let you know exactly about how much labours involved in flouring the plant at the beginning. When the seed of faith properly planted at fertilizable heart, it brings many positive inner changes in such as sincerity, patience, sense of responsibility, bravery, kindness which automatically enhance outer beauty in a person in the shape of good actions.
When the seed of faith begins growing at the heart, an ailment of disappointment, fear, anxiety as well as diseases of hypocrisy, jealousy, sense of self superiority, ego, extremism, arrogance and showing up begin being purified from the heart. In Islam, the reward of all actions depend on the purity of intention of a person and intention is born at the heart. Therefore, the friends of Allah, mystics work on the heart of ill person. The purity of heart means the purity of intention which bring about beauty of actions. These are Allah's friends, who spread Islam throughout the subcontinent and all over the world. They converted millions of people into Islam by convincing them with the help of spiritual power and miracles. They, having purified the heart of transgressors with the words of purity(Kalma Tayyah), infused the love for the beloved Prophet (peace be upon him) in their hearts. The countries are occupied by sword, but the heart of people are conquered by love, peace and patience which is what the friends of Allah have lied down the example by following the footsteps of my beloved Prophet (peace be upon him). These are those people whom Allah admired in the Quran, Surah Al-Furqan verse No 63
"The servant of Allah are those, who walk on the earth in humility and when the ignorant address them, they call Peace!"
Yunus 10:62]
Pay heed! Indeed upon the friends of Allah is neither any fear, nor any grief.
