🌟 The Importance of a Pure Heart in Islam
The first paragraph emphasizes the significance of the heart's purity in Islam, as narrated by the Prophet. It discusses the metaphor of the heart as the core of one's spiritual and physical being. The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) is quoted to stress that if the heart is righteous, the entire body and soul will follow suit. The paragraph also highlights the importance of focusing on spiritual deeds rather than external appearances. It introduces the concept of the 'spiritual heart' and contrasts it with the physical heart, explaining that diseases of the heart, such as anger and arrogance, are spiritual in nature. The speaker then sets the stage for a discussion on the 'hardness of the heart,' which is considered the worst disease from which all other spiritual ailments stem.
📜 Symptoms and Consequences of a Hardened Heart
The second paragraph delves into the symptoms of a hardened heart, which is described as the root of all spiritual diseases. It analogizes the hardened heart to the HIV virus, indicating its destructive potential. The primary symptom is a lack of concern for Allah's commandments and a disconnection from the Sharia. The paragraph also mentions the burden of worship when the heart is hardened, turning something sweet and comforting into a chore. Furthermore, it talks about the Quran failing to move a hardened heart and the manifestation of selfishness as another indicator. The causes of a hardened heart are also briefly introduced, including turning away from Allah's book and the consequences of such spiritual detachment.
🚫 Causes of a Hardened Heart and Their Remedies
The third paragraph explores the causes of a hardened heart in more depth, including neglecting the Quran, not remembering Allah frequently, indulging in worldly desires at the expense of the soul, and engaging in vain entertainment and idle talk. These actions are warned against as they lead to spiritual desensitization and a hardened heart. The Prophet's warning against excessive laughter and frivolity is cited as an example of how excessive worldly engagement can deaden the heart. The paragraph concludes with a transition to discussing the cures for a hardened heart in the subsequent part of the talk.
🕊️ Healing the Hardened Heart Through Spiritual Practices
The fourth paragraph provides a remedy for a hardened heart, starting with self-awareness and understanding of the condition. It stresses the importance of having a daily routine with the Quran to foster a relationship with Allah's words. The company of righteous people is suggested as a means to soften the heart, as is making frequent du'aa (supplications) to Allah for protection against heart hardness. The Prophet's advice to help soften a hardened heart includes giving to the poor and caring for orphans. These actions are meant to connect individuals with the suffering of others, thereby fostering empathy and a softer spiritual heart.
🌙 The Transformative Power of Ramadan
The fifth and final paragraph ties the discussion to the upcoming month of Ramadan, highlighting it as a time when the heart can be softened and spiritual diseases can be cured. Ramadan is described as a month dedicated to increasing taqwa (piety), removing heart diseases, and focusing on the Quran, dhikr (remembrance of Allah), and charitable acts. The paragraph encourages Muslims to use Ramadan as an opportunity to rise spiritually and to strive to maintain the gains made during this month, so that with each passing Ramadan, they can ascend to higher levels of faith and spirituality. The goal is to continuously improve, leaving each Ramadan in a better state than when it began.

your outer shells Allah does not look at
what does he look at what I can young
guru in a guru become what in Arma Allah
looks at your under and Allah looks at
your deeds my dear brothers and sisters
the hub in Islam the idol be in the
Quran and Sunnah is not the beating
heart that we have in the body rather it
means the seat of spirituality when
Allah talks about the humble this is not
the physical element that we can take
out and have a heart transplant
put another heart in no that's the
physical one
Allah is talking about the spiritual the
spiritual heart there is a heart of the
soul just like there's a heart of the
body and the heart of the soul if that
is pure then the soul is pure and the
heart of the soul if that is bad then
the soul is bad and therefore there are
diseases of the heart that are Shariah
tells us about such as anger such as
arrogance such as malice such as
selfishness but in today's Ultima I will
talk about the mother of
all diseases I will talk about the worst
disease of the heart the disease from
which all other diseases stem and that
is the disease that the Quran calls us
what will the hardness of the heart
that's what we'll plan to have a hard
heart and the Quran mentions thus what
will help as being a punishment from
Allah Subhanahu WA Ta'ala and our
prophecies and also warned us against
having a hard heart so what is a hard
heart what is this disease how do we
know if we suffer from this disease and
what are the symptoms of this disease
what are the causes of the disease and
how do we cure this disease all of this
will very briefly insha'Allah because
time is of the essence here very briefly
inshallah we will talk about these main
points number one what are the symptoms
of this disease how do I know that my
heart is hard just like we have symptoms
for high cholesterol Centers for blood
pressure symptoms for every disease so
what are the symptoms of the heart heart
number two what are the causes of the
hard part we have high cholesterol if we
have bad diet and no exercise these are
the causes so what are the causes of the
heart heart so that we can avoid them
and then in the second code but
inshallah briefly what are the solutions
what are the antidote what are the
things we need to take the medicine we
need to take to solve the hardness of
the heart the hardness of the heart
Allah subhana WA Ta'ala mentions it in
the Quran some Assad who do become
embedded addict then after this your
hearts became hard for he aquel a
charity Oh duper's wa your hearts were
so hard they were harder than rocks
themselves or even more hard than rocks
this is what allah mentions about a
previous nation that their hearts became
hard in another verse allah azzawajal
says favi mahakal to him mustafa home
because they broke our covenant
Allah talking about another nation
before us they didn't follow their
shelia they broke their called our
covenant lana whom we cursed them which
are allah Aluva whom Basia and we made
their hearts hard well la he my dear
brothers and sisters if this was the
only reference
in the whole Quran and Sunnah - a hard
heart it is enough to scare us Allah
cursed them and made their hearts hard
so Allah scarce is linked with having a
hard heart this is what Allah says now
whom would you I'm now kerubim Basia we
cursed them and there is nothing more
dangerous and more if you like of a
punishment than a Las curse Allah cursed
them then what did he link the curse
with what did he add a clausal
conjunctive with we cursed them and we
made their hearts hard if this were the
only reference about the hardness of the
heart it would be sufficient but the
Quran and Sunnah is full of it
so Allah he it is noteworthy it is
important we understand this disease it
is the mother of all diseases when a
person has a hard heart everything
follows I say in our modern language in
our modern vernacular the hardness of
the heart is like the AIDS virus to the
heart it's like the HIV when you have
the hardness of the heart all other
diseases will be found in that heart
because the defense mechanism has been
destroyed if you have a hard heart
there's no defense mechanism against any
other disease so how do we know we have
a hard heart what are the symptoms of a
heart heart
number one the primary symptom of a
heart heart is simply not caring about a
la's commandment about Allah Shariah you
don't care what Allah wants of you you
have no desire to find out or to
implement you live your life cut off
from the Sharia of allah subhanahu
wata'ala
and allah has linked this directly in
the quran fatima natholi him eat alcohol
because they broke our covenant and the
Covenant of Allah is his Sharia because
they didn't care about our Sharia we
cursed them and we made their heart hard
so if we find ourselves living our lives
and it never occurs to us to ask is my
money Hanna if it never occurs to us to
ask the time that I'm spending is this
what Allah is pleased with it never
occurs to us to ask what is my goal in
life then Allah he this is a symptom
that our heart is hard another symptom
that the heart is hard is that the
person can
use worshiping Allah without enjoying
the worship of Allah the worship of
Allah becomes a burden and a chore the
worship of Allah becomes an irritation
and nuisance rather than the sweetness
and the honey of one's life my dear
brothers and sisters the true believer
finds comfort in worshiping Allah the
true believers Iman is rejuvenated when
they worship Allah there is nothing more
sweet to the believer than the worship
of Allah but if we find ourselves we
seek Allah's refuge we look at the
Washington oh no it's time to pray again
I just prayed to man Allah if we find
ourselves dreading the month of Ramadan
if we find ourselves not wanting to do
an act of worship even if we do the act
of worship but we do it with that type
of attitude this is a symptom this is
the symptom that we're suffering from
the disease of the heart my dear
brothers and sisters our prophet
sallallaahu either he will send them he
would rejoice at the sauna what would he
tell belong and it'd be high appeal an
Obi then bring us the comfort of the
sauna I want to feel the sweetness of
the Sun ah ah ah she says when something
troubled the Prophet SAW son when he had
some grief he would rush to stand in
Salah sana gave him comfort Salah calmed
his nerves down when Salah
becomes a nuisance once Allah becomes a
chore when father becomes a burden than
a stock for Allah ahora de cosas Davila
this is a symptom that we're suffering
from the hardness of the heart of the
symptoms that the heart has become hard
is that the Quran itself the Quran
itself does not move us that we are not
moved by the speech of Allah that the
speech of Allah falls on deaf ears the
Quran is the ultimate connection with
Allah it is the kalam of allah it is the
speech of allah and if the Quran does
not move us then wallahi something is
wrong and this is generally due to we
are being moved with other instruments
or other things because if the Quran
does not move us then we have a hard
heart of the symptoms that we have a
hard heart
is selfishness to not care about the
oume enough see enough see myself myself
you're only worried about yourself your
immediate family you have no concern for
the broader Ummah nobody who has genuine
Iman will feel disconnected from the
Ummah we are one body as our professors
Adam said and if we have a pulsating art
the spiritual heart we will feel
connected with that body it is not
possible that the suffering of the ummah
around the globe so much is happening at
are you to go into the long list
currently sri lanka's being Muslims are
being attacked there so much issues and
so many Muslim lands if our hearts are
not connected if they're not moved if we
can't even make du'a then we'll law you
my dear brothers and sisters this is a
symptom this is a sign that our hearts
have become hard these are the primary
symptoms and there are more what are the
causes where does this come from
as we said high cholesterol comes from
bad diet and no exercise so what are the
causes why does the hardness of the
heart form number one cause to turn away
from the Book of Allah subhana wa tada
to not have a regular relationship with
the Quran the Muslim has a regular
relationship with the Quran Allah says
in the Quran that Allah who nazara
axonal hadith the kitab a mutashabiha
Allah has revealed the best of all books
it is a book that supports one another
when a person reads it Tashia a woman
who deluded in action or a poem their
heart sorry their skins tremble from
mattelli no judo home Walker Ubu home in
a tequila then their hearts and their
bodies soften at the remembrance of
Allah notice direct linkage with the
Quran and the softening of the heart so
how is this hardness cause you don't
have a linkage or relationship with the
Quran so the number one reason why the
hardness of the heart develops is there
is no relationship with the Quran we
don't read the Quran that somebody dies
the Quran becomes a Book of the Dead
rather than the book of the
the Quran occupies the highest shelf in
our houses but the lowest category in
our actual lives this is the number one
cause for the hardness of the heart
number two which is related to number
one that's actually really the same
thing but it's a little bit broader
turning away from the vehicle of Allah
and the Quran is the ultimate dhikr so
they are actually linked together not
remembering Allah Allah says in the
Quran woman
our Allah and victory for India Huma
ishutin banca whoever turns away from my
remembrance from my vicar shall live a
miserable life
so not frequently doing vicar or
remembering allah subhana wa ta'ala is
another cause of the hardening of the
heart
number three what causes the hardness of
the heart is to fulfil every bodily
desire whatever the body wants of food
and drink and fine clothes and every
shower every pleasure every desire to
satisfy it and not to care about the
desires of the soul and I swear by Allah
this is one of the biggest problems that
we as Muslims living in the West face we
are surrounded by temptations were
surrounded by materialism we're
surrounded by money and affluence and
wealth we eat and we drink and we eat
and we drink and we buy and we purchase
dunya dunya dunya where is the al-qura
what will happen the heart will become
heart nobody misunderstand me it is
allowed to enjoy this world but let's
not forget the ask you know in fact the
priority is the al-quran what happens
and what I'm saying here when we neglect
the al-qura when we ignore the next life
we only concentrate on this life then
what will happen the heart will become
heart and this leads me to my fourth
cause of the hardness of the heart and
will lie this as painful to say but all
of us are guilty of it and it is a
reality and it is linked to the third
one the fourth cause of the hardness of
the heart too much vain entertainment
and too much useless talk and too much
wasting of time and we in this countries
and lands in the Western world we have
made it an art to entertain ourselves
we entertain ourselves to death with the
internet with television with Facebook
with 700 channels with this with that
some of it might be Halle nobody's
saying everything is Haram but when that
becomes our end all and be all when
we're doing nothing but being
entertained then what's going to happen
the heart will become hard and this is
narrating the hadith anonymity our
prophet sallallahu alayhi wa seldom said
Yukawa cattle bike i warn you against
laughing too much because for in the
cutthroat Ibaka key to me to loop
laughing too much causes the heart to
die now laughing is that how that
wallahi is hella didn't our process from
smile all the time didn't he laugh once
in a while it is head-on
nobody should misquote me and stuff for
Allah and say oh the chef said that
laughing is an Stephano but what did the
process inward against cutthroat Oh dark
too much laughing too much wasting time
too much drivel T's and this is a
problem that when your life becomes
nothing but frivolous when your whole
world becomes what's the latest movie
what's the latest match what's the
latest game we're living currently in
the soccer season right now
the World Cup is taking place I'm not
saying a stock for a lot it's Haram to
watch I'm saying make sure anything you
do does not interfere with your
relationship with Allah make sure your
son ah
make sure your Quran make sure your
liquor is never interfered with that is
the ultimate priority but when my life
and your life becomes nothing but soccer
games football matches the latest movies
the latest this the latest that then
where is Iman where is spirituality
where is the Acura what's going to
happen the heart will become hard the
heart will become the swih that's what
our process that I've said I warn you
against laughing too much he didn't say
I warn you against laughing he didn't
say laughing is Haram he said if your
whole life becomes nothing but a joke
frivolous entertainment then what's
gonna happen too much entertainment
causes the heart to become dead and
that's not something that we want so
dear brothers and sisters in this first
half of the jota
I talked about some of the symptoms and
I talked about some of the causes in the
second half in cha
we'll talk about some of the cures
barakallahu a karana of him whenever any
welcome the man fee here I got addicted
I came upon rheumatism aroun what stuff
for a lot of the muddy water come what
is that a Muslim miracle didn't mean
first a few in number one over for over
him alhamdulillah alhamdulillah he noir
hidden I had a summit ended in amulet
when I'm unit well a miracle of aku for
one ahead what I do so he mentioned the
symptoms and every one of us on a daily
basis on a weekly basis on a monthly
basis should take an analysis of our own
system every one of us is our own doctor
that's what our religion says that when
it comes to spirituality
nobody is between us and Allah we go to
Allah directly so every one of us needs
to analyze like those who are diabetic
they look at their their sugar level
those who have blood pressure they
monitor their pressure level every day
so similarly every one of us we need to
monitor do any of these symptoms exist
we need to monitor how is my heart the
spiritual heart and that is something
every one of us can do and if we
discover some of these symptoms then
what is the cure what is the antidote
what do we take to make our hearts soft
well again much can be said but to
summarize because time is of the essence
number one simply being aware of the
whole reality of the hub of the heart
and the hardness of the heart and the
causes and the symptoms you see the one
who's a diabetic if he knows he's a
diabetic then he can monitor he can take
precaution he can make sure that his
sugar level is kept regular so being
aware what is the hardness of the heart
what did the causes what are the
symptoms what are the cures this is
knowledge about hardness of the heart
number two the main antidote goes back
to the main cause the main cause was
what not reading Quran so what is the
main antidote reading the Quran having a
relationship with the Book of Allah
subhana WA Ta'ala regularly reading the
Quran I advise myself and all of you
I advise myself and all of you that we
should
all have a daily routine with the Quran
well lie even if it's five minutes my
dear brothers and sisters even if it's
just five minutes a day have like you
cannot leave work without having
breakfast so do not begin your day
without doing a little bit of Quran for
those who can do more let them do more
but even if it's just a little bit this
should be your spiritual breakfast the
relationship with the Quran number three
how can we make our heart soft being in
the company of righteous people because
when you're in the company of those
whose hearts are hard then you think
you're all normal and everything is fine
when you're in the company of those
whose hearts are soft when you're in the
company of Allah in a van who thicken
when they're in the company of genuine
saw the hain and righteous people then
this will influence you and that's what
our officers Adam said that that the the
the the person who hangs around good
friends this will influence him in a
positive manner number four lots of duaa
to Allah
lots of duaa to Allah to protect us from
the hardness of the heart Allah subhana
WA Ta'ala mentions in the Quran Fenella
inbox una tardado when I can assess
hooloovoo him when our punishment came
why didn't they make dua to Allah but
then Allah says I'll tell you why we
didn't make du'a their hearts became
hard
so notice Allah links not making drama
with having a hard heart dua my dear
brothers and sisters of the weapon of
the believer dua is our connection with
allah subhana wa ta'ala
dua is a conversation any one of us can
have at any time with a Samir with anna
liam whittle Basia you raise your hands
up and you begin that dialogue you open
your heart out to allah subhana wa tada
and that will make your heart soft
another means to make the heart soft is
to have a relationship with the poor the
folk are all the misaki n-- to the the
orphans the yatama have a relationship
with them a man came in narrated and
timothy a man came to the prophet
sallallahu alayhi wa send him and he
said o messenger of allah i have a hard
heart what should i do he may he he
complained to have a hard heart so the
prophecies that have said if you have a
hard heart then i advise you to give to
the poor and put
your hand on the head of the orphan
stroke the head of the orphan what is
the meaning here the meaning here is
when you are with those who are deprived
when you see the reality of the
sufferings of the problems you're in
connection with the OMA then wallah your
heart cannot be hard when you see how
the orphan is living you cannot go home
and be unaffected by that you cannot
just sit down and waste five hours
watching this and doing that and on the
Internet your heart will be motivated to
do something so what did the process of
them say have a relationship with the
poor people that is one of the ways to
make the heart soft and much more can be
said my dear brothers and sisters such
as extra nawafil extra actions of
worship such as thinking of death but
unfortunately time is of the essence
here so let me conclude by linking this
entire ultima to the greatest event that
will happen very soon the most
significant event of every year for us
and that is the month of ramadhan my
dear brothers and sisters the point of
Ramadhan is to make our hearts soft the
point of Ramadhan is to increase our
taqwa the point of Ramadhan is to remove
the diseases of the heart and this is
the worst disease of the heart this is
the month where there is nothing but
Quran Quran in the morning Quran at
night Quran in taraweeh our Quran into
head Judah this is the month where
there's nothing but the dhikr of Allah
this is the month where there's nothing
this is the month where there's Sun ah
this is the month where there's giving
to the poor this is the month where we
give to charities this is the month of
community and hanging around saw the
Haim a righteous people if you look at
it every single cause of the hardness of
the heart is eliminated in Ramadan every
single cure is facilitated so Ramadan is
the month of the heart Ramadan is the
month where we eliminate the hardness of
the heart and we make sure that it is

normal bond every one of us our iman
soars to the heavens it goes very high
and then after a move on it goes back
down the point or the goal of ramadan is
not that we go up on that wave and then
come back all the way down no yes it is
true that one Ramadan is finished our
Iman will go down it's not the same as
being in Roma Bahn
but the point is if we've risen 100
level
let us not go back down 100 levels
okay maybe after a few weeks and months
we go down 10 20 30 40 50 60 70 80 90
but let us at the end of Ramadan be
better than we were at the beginning of
Ramadan so that when next Ramadan comes
we can go even higher than when we go
back down a bit then still we are higher
there than when we began
but the point my dear brothers and
sisters every Ramadan should be better
than the previous one every Ramadan
should make our hearts softer so that
the best from Adan ever is the last
Ramadan we live our lives that is the
ultimate goal of Ramadan may Allah
