Before you can fill any vessel,you must empty it.The heart is a vessel.And like any vessel, the heart too must be emptied- before it can be filled with Allah Subhanuwata’la
To empty the heart does not mean to not love. On the contrary, true love, as Allah intended it, is purest when it is not based on a false attachment.
The process of first emptying the heart can be found in the beginning half of the shahada (declaration of faith).
Notice that the declaration of faith begins with a critical negation, a crucial emptying.
Before we hope to reach true tawheed (true monotheism), before we can assert our belief in the one Lord, we first assert: "la illaha" (there is no illah).
An ’illah’ is an object of worship.
But it is imperative to understand that an ‘illah’ is not just something we pray to. An ‘illah’ is what we revolve our life around, what we obey and what is of utmost importance to us- above all else.
It is something that we live for-and cannot live without.
