9 Steps to Purify the Heart

May I suggest to the seeker of truth do the following NINE STEPS to purification of the
heart?

1. Clean - your mind, your heart & soul - remove all prejudices & biases.
2. Thank God - for what you have - every moment of every day.
3. Read - a good translation of the meaning of the Holy Quran in a language that they can
understand best. (http://islamtomorrow.com/downloads/)
4. Reflect on the meanings & consider the bounties of your Lord.
5. Seek - Forgiveness From God & Learn to Forgive others.
6. Ask - in your heart for Guidance from Above.
7. Open - your heart and mind.
8. Continue - to do this up for a few months. And be regular in it.
9. Avoid - the poison of evil while your heart is opening for the "rebirth of your soul."

Remember: Clean; Thank; Read; Reflect - then:

"Seek, and ye shall find. Ask, and it shall be given thee. Knock, and it shall be opened."
Then: Continue & Avoid

No one can take the sins of another and the guilty must stand accused for what they
have done.
Jesus, peace be upon him, did not preach a message of salvation by worshipping
him. This was something added later by Saul (who later became Paul).
The rest is between you and the Almighty Lord of the Universe. If you truly love Him, then He already
Knows it and He will deal with each of us according to our hearts.
