Sayyidna ‘Ali (radiallahu ‘anh) said, 'When ‘Iman enters the heart, it is like a radiant dot. As 'Iman increases, its radiance increases, until the whole heart becomes blissfully radiant. Similarly, disbelief and hypocrisy start appearing on the heart first as a black dot. Then, with every increase in sin and disbelief, the dot keeps increasing in size until the whole heart turns black.' (Mazhari)

For this reason, the noble Companions of the Holy Prophet (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam) used to tell each other, 'let us sit together for a while and remind each other of things relating to our Deen and ‘Akhirah so that it increases our 'Iman.'

Once in this blissful state, one starts seeing obedience to Allah ('azza wa jal) and His Rasul (sallallahu 'alaihi wasallam) as easy. 'Ibadah becomes inviting. One can feel the very taste of it. Sins pose no problems, for one starts hating sins by his own nature. They tempt no more. In fact, they irritate and vex. (Ma’ariful Qur’an)
