4 - Those Whose Hearts Are to Be Reconciled
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : Who are those whose hearts are to be reconciled? It is a disbeliever, a disbeliever, but one who is close to Islam. Some disbelievers are far from Islam; they are obstinate, and Islam is not expected from them. Another group is close to Islam; you feel that he senses he will submit, but perhaps his mother does not approve, or his father does not approve, or something similar. The point is that you see closeness from him. This is the one whose heart is to be reconciled.
It is a believer, but one whose faith is weak; he fears that the slightest thing will shake him and cause him to fall into apostasy. This one is also? One whose heart is to be reconciled. He is given from the zakah to strengthen his faith, and the first one is given from the zakah to enter Islam. Now, look at the mercy of Allah, the Exalted, toward His creation: He gives from the zakah, from the wealth of zakah, so that his Islam may be strengthened.
