HOW TO CURE YOUR DISEASED HEART
Al-Haafidh ibn Hajr al-Asqalaanee, may Allaah have mercy upon him and provide 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, O servant of Allaah, wish to cure your heart
then it is upon you to be truthful with regards to seeking refuge with Allaah and putting
your trust in Him, to pray a great deal of supererogatory prayers, to perform the actions of
obedience to Allaah 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 frequently recite the Qur'aan. And Allaah will
indeed allow all of this to be preserved by him.”
