The goal of the inward life in #Islam is to reach the #Divine as both the #transcendent and the imminent. It is to gain a #vision of #God as the #reality beyond all determination and at the same time of the #world as “plunged in God”. It is to see Him everywhere.
The inward dimension is the key for the understanding of #metaphysics and traditional #cosmology, as well as, the penetration into the essential meaning of #religion and for all religions, for at the #heart of every #authentic religion lies the #One #Truth which resides at the heart of all things and most of all #man.
-Jallaludin Rumi

Purifying the heart is about changing how you #think in order to change how you act; how you think, will influence your heart to change.
Recognize that #God is in control of that.
