Softening the Heart: Avoiding a Rock-Hard Faith

The Importance of Cultivating a Sensitive Heart in Islam

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم

Rock-hearted’ is no one’s favorite word. Yes. No one will be happy to see that he or she has a heart similar to that of a stone or rock in terms of HARDNESS, yet, most of us unconsciously display to the public that no word from Quran and Hadith can MELT OUR HEARTS when it comes to some aspects of the religion of Islam.

In Shaa Allah,

Obedient Servant of Allah!

 وَمَا تُقَدِّمُوا۟ لِأَنفُسِكُم مِّنْ خَيْرٍ تَجِدُوهُ عِندَ ٱللَّهِۗ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ بِمَا تَعْمَلُونَ بَصِيرٌ 

“Whatever you put forward of good deeds for yourselves – you will find it with Allāh. Indeed Allāh, of what you do, is Seeing”.

Al-Baqarah 2:110

So, Let us take care not to mix the rules of mathematics with the rules of eemaan (faith).

Servants of Allah.

No matter how much you spend on yourself or your wife or husband, whom you refused to give FISABILILLAH in the quest to make them comfortable, Wallahi Tallahi one day they will behave or make statements showing you their *”ungratefulness”* towards your selfless sacrifices. 

Besides,

Abu Hurayrah (r.a.)) narrated that Allah’s Messenger (pbuh) said: *“Whosoever removes a hardship among the hardships of this world from a believer, Allāh will remove a hardship from him on the Day of Judgement. Whoever brings ease to the one who is in difficulty, Allāh will bring him ease in this world and in the Hereafter….”*

 Authentic Hadith Sahih Muslim 2699

(Book 16, Hadith 29)
