Hardness of The Heart
are cursed.” [1]
صَلُّوۡا عَلَى الۡحَبِيۡب صَلَّى اللّٰهُ عَلٰى مُحَمَّد
Dear Islamic brothers! If we are afflicted with a dangerous illness, we become worried and seek treatment for it immediately. Hard-heartedness is a destructive disease which destroys us in this world and disgraces us in the Hereafter. Therefore, we must treat our hearts to make them tender. Here are some methods of treatment.
Instil the Fear of Allah Almighty in your Heart
Reciting the noble Quran and reflecting over the verses regarding punishment will instil the fear of Allah Almighty within your heart and soften it اِنْ شَــآءَالـلّٰـه. Just as it is stated in verse 23 of Surah al-Zumar:
اَللّٰہُ نَزَّلَ اَحْسَنَ الْحَدِیْثِ کِتٰبًا مُّتَشَابِہًا مَّثَانِیَ * تَقْشَعِرُّ مِنْہُ جُلُوْدُ الَّذِیْنَ یَخْشَوْنَ رَبَّہُمْ ۚ ثُمَّ تَلِیْنُ جُلُوْدُھُمْ وَ قُلُوْبُہُمْ اِلٰی ذِکْرِ اللّٰہِ ؕ
Allah sent down the best Book, similar and repeatedly recited; the skins of those who fear their Lord tremble due to it. Then their skins and their hearts soften for the remembrance of Allah. [2]
It is written on page 455 in volume 8 of Ṣirāṭ al-Jinān:
Sayyidunā Qatādah رَضِىَ اللّٰهُ عَـنْهُ said: It is from the attributes of the SAINTS that when they hear the remembrance of Allah Almighty, their hair stands on end, their bodies tremble and their hearts find peace. [3]
We ask Allah Almighty to grant us the ability to truly fear Him.
