Remembrance Of ALLAH : Medicine For Hard Hearts
A man came to Hasan Al-Basriy and said;
"Oh Aboo Sa’eed, I’m complaining to you about my hearts cruelty and hardness, how can I soften it?"
Hasan Al-Basriy said;
"Soften your heart with the remembrance of Allah.
The forgetfulness of the remembrance of Allah hardens the heart but if the person remembers Allah, the heart will soften like the copper melted in the fire."
Nothing else can soften the hard heart like the remembrance of Allah, the glorification of Allah and recitation of the Qur'an.
Glorification is the medication to soften your hard heart!
Forgetfulness of the remembrance of Allah occurs because of sins.
Forgetting the remembrance of Allah is a disease. It hardens the heart, the Shaytaan will not only overcome the person but also over-power the person and then make him continue to forget the remembrance of Allah, thus leaving him without protection. Remembrance of Allah is a source of protection, and armour for the believer from internal and external harm.
May Allah bless us with His remembrance at all times.
