Something that many of us fall short in is to check our hearts & to strive in purifying it from all sicknesses such as shirk, hypocrisy, jealousy, spite & other sicknesses. Your heart is the foundation of all your actions & statements. A sound heart – righteousness upon the limbs.

 

Shaykh Muhammad bin Saalih al-‘Uthaymeen رحمه الله said:

“It is a must for a person that he always asks Allaah to purify his heart, and that he should take care and concern in regards to the actions of the heart. And a person giving care and attention to the actions of the heart should be more than the care and attention he gives to the action of the limbs, that is because the actions of the limbs are performed by everyone, by the believer and the hypocrite, however the deeds of the heart are (more) important. I ask Allaah that He rectifies all of our hearts.”
