Admonition for one who hopes to fix their heart

‎“The believer says little and does much.

‎The hypocrite talks a lot and works little.”

‘Son of Ādam, when Shaytān whispers to you, enticing you to commit a sin, or your soul desires to commit it,

remind yourself of what Allāh has burdened you with of His Book which,

were a mountain to bear it, it would have been humbled and broken.

Have you not heard his saying,

لَوۡ اَنۡزَلۡنَا هٰذَا الۡقُرۡاٰنَ عَلٰى جَبَلٍ لَّرَاَيۡتَهٗ خَاشِعًا مُّتَصَدِّعًا مِّنۡ خَشۡيَةِ اللّٰهِ ؕ وَتِلۡكَ الۡاَمۡثَالُ نَضۡرِبُهَا لِلنَّاسِ لَعَلَّهُمۡ يَتَفَكَّرُوۡنَ‏

“If we had sent down this Qur’ān onto a mountain, you would have seen it humbled, crushing to pieces out of fear of Allāh.

We make such examples for people so that hopefully they will reflect.” (Surah al-Hashr (59):21)

“Verily, there is a Paradise in this world

and whoever does not enter it now

will not enter the Paradise of the Hereafter.”

“One way to remove hardness of the heart is to engage in a lot of reading the Qur’ān with contemplation,

and while you are reading to be aware that this is the speech of Allāh,

the speech of the Creator of the heavens and the earth, not the speech of a human being.

When you do this, you will recognize the greatness of this speech and benefit from it.”

it removes whatever the devil has cast inside them of surreptitious suggestions, lusts and desires, and corrupt wants and wishes.

So it is a medicine for what the devil has brought about of (evil) effects inside (people's hearts).

"Just as there is no life on earth except with water,

likewise there is no life in the heart except with knowledge."

“Seeking knowledge is from the greatest Ḥasanāt (good deeds),

and the good deeds remove evil deeds, so it is deserving for seeking knowledge to be for the sake of Allah so that it may remove past sins.

As the religious texts have alluded to the fact that following a sin up with a good deed erases that sin,

so what about the best of good deeds and most honourable of obediences?”

“The Qurʾān is a cure for

as-Ṣudūr {the hearts that struggle with waswasa (whispers).”
