[Umm Binyameen]

"Ibn al-Qayyim (may Allaah have mercy on him) said: If his mind is clear, he will have insight, which is a light in the heart, with which he will see the promise and the threat, Paradise and Hell, and what Allaah has prepared in each for His friends and His enemies, respectively. He will see, in his minds eye, the people coming forth from their graves, hastening towards the call of Truth; the ang...els coming down from heaven and surrounding them, and Allaah coming to His Throne which is set up for judgement; the earth filled with His light and the Book being set forth; the Prophets and martyrs being brought; the scale being set up and the records flying into their owners hands; the disputants being brought together; every creditor hanging on to his opponent; the appearance of the hawd (cistern) and the bringing near of its cups; intense thirst, but only a few being allowed to drink; the setting up of the bridge and the jostling of the people to cross over it; the sharing out of lights because the bridge to be crossed is very dark; the Fire of Hell, parts of it consuming other parts beneath the bridge; the huge numbers of those who fall into the Fire, many times more than the numbers of those who are saved. When his minds eye is opened to all of this, one of the stages of the Hereafter will dwell in his heart, so he will see that the Hereafter will abide forever whereas as this world is just a transient, passing thing. (Madaarij al-Saalikeen, 1/123).

And if you don’t replace it with it’s opposite, it will become a constant habit. So ...at that point, it will be difficult for you to change it.

"Unlike the season's spring which goes and comes back, wilting plants away as the light of the sun recedes, the Prophetic Spring is an everlasting spring in the fertile hearts of the Believer, never receding or wilting the blooming flowers of Love of Allah and His Beloved.
