Question:
Honorable Shaykh, this questioner says: If a person has a disease in his heart, how can he get rid of it? And Allah, Blessed and Exalted is He, said:[Al-Baqarah 2:10]
Answer:
This refers to the hypocrites. A Muslim does not have a disease in his heart; rather, this is the disease of hypocrisy, may Allah protect us from it. However, the disease may also be caused by sins, because sins cause the heart to become diseased. Therefore, the Muslim must treat his heart through repentance, seeking forgiveness, staying away from sins, and fearing Allah, Mighty and Majestic. Yes.
