Purifying the Heart
👤 Ibn al-Qayyim – [Rahimahullah] – said :
“There is no doubt that the heart becomes covered with rust, just as metal dishes – silver, and their like become rusty.
So the rust of the heart is polished with dhikr (remembrance of Allah), for dhikr polishes the heart until it becomes like a shiny mirror.
However, when dhikr is abandoned, the rust returns; and when it commences then the heart again begins to be cleansed.
Thus the heart becoming rusty is due to two matters :
Sins and Ghaflah (neglecting remembrance of Allah).
Likewise, it is cleansed and polished by two things :
Istigfår (seeking Allah’s forgiveness) and Dhikr.”
