Expansion of Chest

Student of Al Huda
So whoever Allāh wants to guide – He expands his breast to [contain] Islam; and whoever He wants to misguide – He makes his breast tight and constricted as though he were climbing into the sky. Thus does Allāh place defilement upon those who do not believe. [Al An’aam: 125]
When you read this verse what do you feel? When I read this verse I felt so overwhelmed and happy. If someone feels that they do not fully understand Islam or the commands of Allah (swt) or they want to increase in their iman you have to have the right intention and inshallah Allah will open your chest to Islam. When you open something and make space there is room for more to fit in, this is the case of the one whose chest is expanded to accept Islam. As for when something is constricted it becomes hard to put anything else inside and this is the example of one who is not guided and nor does he want it. In this verse they are explained as ones climbing into the sky, when doing this it becomes hard to breathe and such is the situation when one does not have Islam to show them what is right and wrong.
