Question:
What is the sign of the hardness of hearts?
Answer:
Sins are among the greatest causes of the hardness of hearts; as sins increase, they cause hardness in the hearts, and as acts of obedience come, they become among the causes of the softness of hearts.
And among the causes of the softness of hearts: frequenting the remembrance of Allah (Exalted and Majestic is He), increasing in the remembrance of Allah is among the causes of the softness of hearts, likewise reading the Qur'an and increasing in reading the Noble Qur'an, and restraining: restraining the tongue from what is not befitting, all of this is among the causes of the rectification of hearts.
