HOW TO RECTIFY THE HEART

In an all-encompassing manner,How to Rectify the Heart, a translation of the book: Al-‘Ibaadaat ul-Qalbiyyah, describes the heart, its been responsible for perception and cognitive response, its virtues and importance, and follows with discussions regarding how the heart becomes corrupted and how to remedy its corruption. As such, it discussed five heart-related acts of worship around which -and Allaah knows best actions of all limbs revolve: Al-Ikhlaas (Sincerity), At-Tawbah (Repentance), At-Tawakkul (Reliance on Allaah), Al-Khawf (Fear of Allaah) and Ar-Rajaa (Hope in Allaah). All these were followed with the mentioning of some important basic characters that are connected to the heart as examples of other beautiful characters and enviable attributes.

A comparison between the heart-related acts of worship and those of the limbs corroborates the importance of paying attention to the heart’s rectification. In all of that, the author mostly depended on the verses of the Qur’aan and the Sunnah, citing appropriate statements and actions from the Pious Predecessors.
