The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: The hearts are the sound heart, the sick heart, and the dead heart. Is the disbeliever's heart considered among the sick hearts when he embraces Islam?

The questioner:
Is the disbeliever's heart considered among the sick hearts when he embraces Islam?
The Shaykh:
No, his heart was dead, so when he embraced Islam, his heart came to life. Allah (Exalted and Majestic is He) gives life and causes death; He gives life to bodies and causes them to die, and He gives life to hearts and causes them to die.
