Published by Dar al-Taqwa.
Description :
The Qur'an speaks of the people of
paradise as "...those who bring to Allah
sound hearts." (al-Qur'an 26:87) and the Prophet,
may Allah bless him & grant him peace, said in a
famous hadith ; "There is a piece of flesh
in the body, the nature of which is that
when it is sound, the entire body is
sound, and when it is corrupt, the entire
body is corrupt, - it is the heart.'' In this age of materialistic
values it is often forgotten by Muslims as
well as the non-Muslims that in the end the only truly valuable possession is a pure heart.
The scholar Yassin
Roshdy takes the opportunity in this
small book to remind us of this vital fact
of human existence. Basing himself firmly
on the Book and Sunnah. He looks at the
heart and its window onto the world, the
tongue; analyses the defects to which
they are subject; and shows us how to
avoid these dangers and purify ourselves.
In so doing he provides us with an
essential key to success in both This
world and the Next.
