Praise be to Allah!
Beautiful statements from Ibn Qayyim regarding the heart:
القلب يمرض كما يمرض البدن وشفاؤه في التوبة والحمية، ويصدأ كما تصدأ المرآة وجلاؤه بالذكر ؛ ويعرى كما يعرى الجسم وزينته التقوى، ويجوع ويظمأ كما يجوع البدن، وشرابه المعرفة والمحبة والتوكل والإنابة والخدمة
The heart becomes sick, as the body becomes sick, and its remedy is al-Tawbah and protection [from transgression]. It becomes rusty as a mirror becomes rusty, and it is polished by al-Dhikr. It becomes naked as the body becomes naked, and its beautification is at-Taqwa. It becomes hungry and thirsty as the body becomes hungry and thirst, and its food and drink are knowledge (of Allah), love (of Allah), reliance (upon Allah), repentance (to Allah) and servitude (towards Allah).”
أبعد القلوب من الله القلب القاسي
The most distant heart from Allah is the hard heart.
إذا قسا القلب قحطت العين
If the heart becomes hardened, the eye becomes dry (i.e. are unable to cry out of fear of Allah)
لا تدخل محبة الله في قلب فيه حب الدنيا إلا كما يدخل الجمل في سم الإبرة
The love of Allah shall not enter a heart which loves the dunya, except a camel passes through the eye of a needle (i.e. it is impossible).
القلب يمرض كما يمرض البدن وشفاؤه في التوبة والحمية، ويصدأ كما تصدأ المرآة وجلاؤه بالذكر ؛ ويعرى كما يعرى الجسم وزينته التقوى، ويجوع ويظمأ كما يجوع البدن، وشرابه المعرفة والمحبة والتوكل والإنابة والخدمة
