Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: The author (may Allah have mercy on him) mentioned at the beginning of the chapter that the life and health of the heart are not attained except by being aware of the truth, desiring it, and preferring it over other things. If I am unable to prefer it over other things, what should I do?
Answer:
No, that is not correct; you are able to do it. You have the capacity. The one who does not have the capacity is the one who is mentally impaired and has no intellect. As for you, as long as you are sane, you have the capacity. Yes.
