- All of Mankind surrenders control of the heart to the Ego, at the start of their worldly journey.

- For guided believers, they begin this battle to wrest control of the heart back from the Ego, and this battle is called the Jihadul Akbar - the Great Battle - by the Holy Prophetﷺ.

- It is a lifelong battle which must be won in this worldly life.

- The Ego is the doorway for shaitan to enter the heart. Just like when a man and woman marries and have offspring, the marriage between Ego and shaitan breeds sins.

- The control centre of all organs is the heart. Should the heart be under shaitanic control, then all organs produce sinful acts. Hence it is crucial for a believer to strive until the heart - the House of God - is returned to its rightful owner and all shaitanic influences are removed and destroyed.

- Just as the Prophetﷺ destroyed all idols in the Kaabah upon conquering Makkah, a believer's aim in life is to conquer his heart from the oppressor ego and banish all idols of self aggrandisation - pride, arrogance, self admiration, conceit, envy etc. from it.

- That is the true meaning of Eidul Fitri - to return to the purity of the heart - to attain qolbun saleem before we return to Allah.

- Then the Angels will welcome you with the real 'Eid Mubarak', when you are called home bearing the Golden Heart.
