Each gives to the other what he has in his heart
أَفَمَن يَمْشِى مُكِبًّا عَلَىٰ وَجْهِهِۦٓ أَهْدَىٰٓ أَمَّن يَمْشِى سَوِيًّا عَلَىٰ صِرَٰطٍۢ مُّسْتَقِيمٍۢ
whatever you feed your eyes,
enters your heart.
lower your gaze from everything harmful.
out of sight, out of mind.
enters your heart.
lower your gaze from everything harmful.
out of sight, out of mind.
it all felt better when Allah ﷻ said:
وَلَلْآخِرَةُ خَيْرٌ لَكَ مِنَ الْأُولى
'and the next life is far better for you than this one'
