The
'Abd is never afflicted with punishment more severe than hardness of the heart
and being away from Allaah Subhanahu wa ta'aala. An-Naar (Hellfire) was created
to melt the hard hearts. The more distant of hearts are the hard ones. When the
heart hardens the eye becomes dry. The hardness of the heart stems from
exaggeration in four things: eating, sleeping, talking, and socializing. As
when the body becomes sick, eating and drinking cannot
cure it; if the heart becomes sick with desires, preaching cannot help it.
Whoever
seeks to purify his heart let him favour Allaah over his desires. The hearts
are the vessels of Allaah Subhanahu wa ta'aala on His earth. The most beloved
to Him are those that are most soft, most strong and most pure.
They
occupy their hearts with ad-Dunyaa (the world). If they occupied them with
Allaah and al-Aakhirah their hearts would wonder in the meanings of His words
and His clear signs. Then their hearts would return to them with marvelous
wisdoms an astonishing benefits.
