THE HEART
=======
- In the blessed month (Ramadan), we all stand in need of a little heart softening.
Beware! There is a piece of flesh in the body if it becomes good (reformed) the whole body becomes good but if it gets spoilt the whole body gets spoilt and that is the heart. (Book #2, Hadith #49)
Those who have believed and whose hearts are assured by the remembrance of Allah . Unquestionably, by the remembrance of Allah hearts are assured."
(Surat Ar-Ra`d (The Thunder) (13:28)
“Allaah has sent down the Best statement, a Book (this Qur'an), its parts resembling each other (in goodness and truth), and oft-repeated. The skins of those who fear their Lord shiver from it (when they recite it or hear it). Then their skin and their heart soften to the remembrance of Allâh. That is the guidance of Allâh. He Guides therewith whom He wills and whomever Allâh sends astray, for him there is no guide”
[al-Zumar 39:23]
“The believers are only those who, when Allâh is mentioned, feel a fear in their hearts and when His Verses (this Qur'ân) are recited unto them, they (i.e. the Verses) increase their Faith; and they put their trust in their Lord (Alone)”
[al-Anfaal 8:2].
Remember Allah a great deal and obey Him. This is an important means of softening the heart and dispelling hardheartedness.
Dhikr-Allaah (remembrance of Allaah) is one of the greatest of good deeds and the best of actions by means of which one may draw closer to Him.

Light on the Tongue But Heavy on the Scales
=============================
Subhan-Allahi wa bihamdihi, Subhan-Allahil-Azim [Glory be to Allah and His is the praise, (and) Allah, the Greatest is free from imperfection)
Subhanallah, walhamdulillah, wala ilaha illallah, wallahu akbar, wala hawla wala quwwata illa billah (Glory be to Allah, All praise is to Allah, there is no god but Allah. There is no power and no strength except in Allah.)
Imam Nawawi advised, “Purify your hearts (for knowledge) the way land is purified for cultivation.”
They have hearts but they cannot understand. They have eyes but they cannot see. They have ears but they cannot hear.
[Surah 7, al-Araaf [The Heights], Verse 179]
=================================
When one’s heart is sound, knowledge can be absorbed and understood properly and enlighten and illuminate one’s inner state.
=================================
Knowledge is possible, but it does not only come this way (learned by the brain), it also comes this way (revealed to the heart). Remember that in addition to knowledge externally derived, it is also internally, intuitively, spiritually acquired.
Truly, its not these eyes which are blind, What is blind is the heart, which is inside the chest. [Sura 22, Verse 46]
So the heart can see. In addition to this (physical) eye, we also have this (internal) eye. Now it is possible for us to understand the hadith.
Dajjal see with one eye, his left eye. The left eye symbolizes his external capacity for sight. Dajjal is blind in the right eye; indicating that Dajjal is internally blind. Therefore all those that follow Dajjal will all be internally blind.
=================================
When the heart comes alive, it can hear what otherwise could not be heard.
=================================
In order for the heart to accommodate the truth, the heart must now be cleansed and purified. This is called, Tazkiyah or internal purification. After the heart has been purified and the heart is turned to Allah, then Allah will put nur into the heart.
The 24th Sura, an-Nur [The Light], verse 35 is the most important verse of the Holy Qur’aan teaching us the methodology for spiritual growth. Teaching us the way through which we can learn to see with the internal eye when we are spiritually mobilized.
Quran Surat 24. An-Nur/Noor (Chapter 24. The Light) Verses 35 to 46
=====================

=====================
The process of internal purification is to look to see the stains on the glass within your own heart and start to cleanse them, purify them and wash them out. The process of washing away the stains on the glass is first of all to recognize that we have committed sin. Secondly, to turn away from the sin; this is called tauba. When you turn you must turn with sincerity.

Sahih Bukhari, Volume:1 Book :2 Number :42, Narrated Anas:
=====================
The Prophet (Peace be upon Him) said, "Whoever said "None has the right to be worshipped but Allah and has in his heart good (faith) equal to the weight of a barley grain will be taken out of Hell. And whoever said: "None has the right to be worshipped but Allah and has in his heart good (faith) equal to the weight of a wheat grain will be taken out of Hell. And whoever said, "None has the right to be worshipped but Allah and has in his heart good (faith) equal to the weight of an atom will be taken out of Hell."
========================
Chapter 114. Surah An-Naas (Mankind)
========================
1. Say: "I seek refuge with (Allah) the Lord of mankind,
2. "The King of mankind,
3. "The Ilah (God) of mankind,
4. "From the evil of the whisperer (devil who whispers evil in the hearts of men) who withdraws (from his whispering in one's heart after one remembers Allah) ,
5. "Who whispers in the breasts of mankind,
6. "Of jinns and men."
I'll end with the Heart of The Qur'aan.

Everything has a heart and the heart of the Quran is Surah Yaseen, whoever read Yaseen, Allah will write the reward of reading the Quran ten times from him.
