"The Prophet (s) also said, "The heart of a believer is the house of God."
God, Whom neither heaven nor earth can contain, has allowed Himself to be contained within the human heart.
What is the foundation of that house? Good manners. When you are a good person, then God will send that Light into your heart. When you are not a good person, but you are trying to be one, God will support you. However, when you never try to be a good person, satan will support you. If you like satan’s support, take your support from him. But you will be the loser. If you want your Lord to support you, you are a winner. Establish that ’House’ in your heart.
But sometimes, to be good alone is difficult. And so God said in Quran,
"O believers, fear God and accompany true people" [9:119].
Sitting with true people is very important. Whenever you find a true person, go and sit with him. Even if he does not talk, sit with him. The Light in his heart will come to you. There is a saying, "Do not sit with a blacksmith, because one ember may fall on you and burn you, but go and sit with a perfume-maker, because one drop of perfume might fall on you." So when you find one of those people, go quickly and sit with him. How do you know a true person? Your heart quickly connects to him. You will know immediately that this is a true person. If your heart says to you, "No, this is not a true person," leave. A true person must be a good example in the community.
