DISEASES OF THE HEARTS AND THEIR CURES

Foreword – DISEASES OF THE HEARTS AND THEIR CURES

All praise is due to Allah, peace and blessings be upon the Last Prophet

Know O beloved reader that it is most important to spend one’s time and energy in treating the heart, and hastening to correct and purify it from sickness and all sins. This is due to the heart occupying a great and lofty position in Islam, for it is the place to which the Lord looks and the storehouse for Tawhid, faith, and sincerity.

Actions are distinguished, one from the other, with respect to their excellence in the Sight of Allah in accordance with the condition of the heart, not by their number or form, but rather due to the strength of the caller, his or her truthfulness, his or her sincerity and the extent to which he or she prefers Allah over himself or herself. ((As stated by lbn al-Qayyim))

The heart forms the foundation, it is the owner of the limbs, and the limbs are its soldiers, so when the owner becomes puri­fied its soldiers become purified, and when the owner becomes sullied then its soldiers become sullied.

Ibn Hajar, may Allah have mercy upon him and nourish us with his knowledge, said: ‘The heart has been singled out for this because it is the leader of the body, and through the purification of the leader the subjects become purified, and with his corruption they become corrupted. So if you, 0 servant of Allah, wish to cure your heart then it is upon you to be truthful with regards to seeking refuge with Allah and putting your trust in Him, to pray a great deal of superogatory prayers, to perform the actions of obedience to Allah frequently, to pray the night prayer while the people are sleeping, and to treat your heart by making it continuously stick to the remembrances and by befriending only the righteous … and to freguerttly recite the Qur’an. May Allah allow all of this to be preserved by him.’

So my brother Muslim, this is a treatise by Shaykhul-Islam lbn Tayrniyyah concerning the topic, ‘Diseases of the Hearts and their Cures.’ I found it amongst his, ‘Fatawa’ and saw it to be a beautiful work, containing many benefits. So it is upon you 0 Muslim to hurry to distribute this amongst your beloved friends and your brothers so that perchance Allah may correct their hearts and Allah’s aid is sought.
