طبع القلوب

Books have been one of the most ancient and most respected aspect of human’s history. Allah has called whole universe a book, HE gave Book to various prophets, we have Quran as a Book and most of the knowledge has been transmitted through books.

Books have so much importance that our education system is based upon them and to keep so much books available at all times, publication of books have become a regular industry all over the world.

When a human culture advances to this level of publication, the same system which was supposed to educate us, liberate us, open our minds and make new ways, the same system enslaves us.

Publication of books with selected and limited views, representation of ideas of dominant culture although they may be false and hiding the truth, becomes rampant in an enslaved system. Your mind is preoccupied with thoughts of the book and you are unable to break from the ideology imprinted upon your mind by the published books until someone breaks a new ground.

This enslavement, enclosed and limited state of heart and mind has been called as  طبع القلوب            in Quran. Such people fail to recognize the truth of Quran, they fail to appreciate seven levels of Quran, they fail to perform exegenesis from Quran, and they fail to follow Prophetic way.

So all the people in the world who claims to be learned ones, well-educated and intellectuals are likely to have طبع القلوب

These people take pride in their education and what happens to them is that Allah sends an  اٌمى      prophet among them, a man who is not from their educated system.

This  اُمى     Prophet becomes the torch bearer of wisdom and free their mind, remove their self-created educated shell, and brings out truth and emaan from within them.
