The Cure for the Hardened Heart That Finds No Pleasure in Worship
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
What is the cure for a heart that finds no pleasure in prayer, supplication, remembrance, or anything else? What is the cure for a hardened heart?
Answer:
The treatment is to contemplate the greatness of Allah and to cut off distractions during the prayer, so that nothing enters it while one’s mind is confused. Cutting off distractions, and praying in congregation, also cause humility and attentiveness to the Qur’an as it is recited. All of this causes humility, by the permission of Allah. A person should not despair; a person does not despair that he will be humble in the future.[Al-Hadid 57:16] in [Al-Hadid 57:16] So a person does not lose hope, and he must strive to attain the causes of humility. Yes.
