From a few months I have developed a routine to go out for recreation; daily in the morning and Thursday evenings. From that time I had an ambiguity because I always used to tell a few of my incidents. Since I have made a new routine nowadays, this is absolutely against the sense of the verse I used to recite and against my previous routine.
The meaning of verse is:
"It's a woe if due to lust and desire you recreate yourself. You yourself are not less than a floret; just open the door to your heart and you will find an Eden inside." It means that if you have a desire to go out for rejoicing then it is a pity, why? Because: Allah has made you a floret. You are yourself a floret. It is enough if you pay attention towards your heart. Just open door to your heart and observe that there are Edens, showers of Allah's mercy, splendours and blessings, gifts of Heaven, reflection of Allah’s beauty and omnipotence. Think of these things, contemplate about these gifts. Allah has placed the largest Eden in our hearts. By ignoring it and going out to rejoice, isn't it a pity, an affliction?
"As if I live in the paradise all day night: so colourful the garden of my heart."
If you have love for Allah in your heart, keep it recollecting and concentrate over these matters. These things won't give you time to go out for amusement.
