Episode Notes

Shaykh Yasir Qadhi delves into a comparison of the faculties of thought and emotion – the brain and the heart. He goes on to say that if the heart is pure , then the rest of the body is also consequently pure.

By ascribing the Iman to our Qalb or heart, Allah signifies its importance. Allah has written directly written Iman into our hearts and it is indeed a great blessing.

Allah mentions in the Quran  in Surah Al Hujurat, verses 7 -8:

‘But Allah has endeared to you the faith and has made it pleasing in your hearts and has made hateful to you disbelief, defiance and disobedience. Those are the [rightly] guided. [It is] as bounty from Allah and favor. And Allah is Knowing and Wise.’

And by ascribing a man to the heart of Allah subhanho wa Taala, signifying its importance, anything that resides in the heart will benefit the entire body. It is the source of our life. And as the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said, very early, there is a flesh in the body. If this flesh is pure, the rest of the body will be pure. And if this flesh is filthy, uncorrupted, the rest of the body will be corrupted. This flesh is the heart. And so Allah says that I have written a man directly into the hearts of the believers. And that is a great blessing from a lot of the blessings that Allah shows that a man has is that Allah subhana wa Jalla mentions in the Quran in surah gerat
