Strengthening of empty heart

Assalamoalaekum

I am sharing an ayah that inspired me today.

أعوذ بالله من الشيطان الرجيم

وَأَصْبَحَ فُؤَادُ أُمِّ مُوسَىٰ فَارِغًا ۖ إِنْ كَادَتْ لَتُبْدِي بِهِ لَوْلَا أَنْ رَبَطْنَا عَلَىٰ قَلْبِهَا لِتَكُونَ مِنَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ
And the heart of Musa´s mother was free (from anxiety) she would have almost disclosed it had We not strengthened her heart so that she might be of the believers.
(Surah Al-Qasas,28:10)

وَأَصْبَحَ And became  -  فُؤَادُ (the) heart  -  أُمِّ (of the) mother  -  مُوسَىٰ (of) Musa  -  فَٰرِغًا empty.  -  إِن That,  -  كَادَتْ she was near  -  لَتُبْدِى (to) disclosing  -  بِهِۦ about him,  -  لَوْلَآ if not  -  أَن that  -  رَّبَطْنَا We strengthened  -  عَلَىٰ [over]  -  قَلْبِهَا her heart,  -  لِتَكُونَ so that she would be  -  مِنَ of  -  ٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ
the believers.  -

When I first read, that heart of Musa عليه السلام was free or empty, I didn't understand. On further investigation, I found out her heart was getting empty or free from every thought other than Musa عليه السلام.

It is hard to imagine loosing a child. Loosing a baby is beyond imagining. And she had to put her baby son in river. What an amazing servant of Allah was she! SubhanAllah. But she was a human. And it's natural for a human heart to be overwhelmed with thoughts. And that's what was happening with her. No other thought except of Musa عليه السلام was coming to her mind. And she was about to disclose her secret. But Allah strengthened her heart. Our problems or concerns are not at all comparable to what mother of Musa عليه السلام went through.

This ayah is an inspiration for me for the moments when I act in a certain way and then get overwhelmed by the thoughts of one thing and it makes my heart empty of all other thoughts. There is a reminder in this ayah that only Allah can strengthen our hearts. My job is to ask Allah to strengthen my heart in all these moments. May Allah strengthen the hearts of all of us. Ameen. This ayah is also a reminder that a strong heart is a sign of believer. May Allah help us all in obeying Him, serving Him thankfully and patiently. Ameen.
