The Divine Gift of Conscience

There is a Divine spark that ignites every human soul. A flame of guidance and wisdom from the Creator that illuminates for us the path of virtue and morality. This is the conscience, a blessing and trust from Allah into every human heart.

The conscience is one of the greatest gifts that separate us from the rest of creation. It is the inner voice that makes us feel the weight of wrongdoings and gives us a sense of contentment when we follow the commands of our Lord. The conscience allows us to understand the difference between good and evil, right and wrong. It is the scale by which we can weigh our deeds and intentions.

The conscience is a manifestation of Allah's infinite mercy upon mankind. Even though we have free will, He did not leave us without guidance. The conscience is a compass pointing us to righteousness, implanted directly into our souls by the Most Merciful. It stirs in us emotions like guilt, regret and remorse when we disobey Allah, and it grants us tranquility and peace when we obey Him.

The conscience is also a sign of Allah's limitless wisdom. Without uttering a word, it steers us away from harming others and towards virtuous acts through the feelings and insights it evokes within us. The conscience speaks to us in the language of the heart, a language that transcends words. Its guidance is more profound than any worldly counsel we may receive.

This subtle yet pivotal gift of conscience is a constant reminder of our purpose in this life - to worship Allah through righteous deeds and moral excellence. Let us always listen to the voice of conscience and allow it to guide us to the good pleasure of our Creator. For verily, in the remembrance of Allah do hearts find rest.
