Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: Ibn al-Qayyim (may Allah have mercy on him) mentioned that hearts are divided into a sound heart, a dead heart, and a sick heart. Are these categories measured by the settled soul, the self-reproaching soul, and the wretched soul?
Answer:
Yes, yes, all of them—the soul or the heart or… all of them, or the spirit, the meaning is the same. Yes.
