Imam Ibn al-Qayyim al-Jawziyyah's describes following signs of an impure, diseased and dead heart.
Imam Hasan al-Basree [rahimahullah] once said to a man,
The heart cannot become purified until a person knows Allah, loves Him, fears Him, has hope in Him and trusts Him. This is the true realization of the statement Laa ilaaha ill-Allah.
The heart will never be pure until it loves, deifies [worships, exalts], fears, and submits to no one except Allah, eventually ending up of the limbs by following and making the actions pure.
(Jaami' al-'Uloom v.1 by Ibn Rajab)
Imam Ibn al-Qayyim al-Jawziyyah's describes following signs of an impure, diseased and dead heart.
- The person does not feel any hurt or pain when he commits evil deeds and sins.
- The person finds both pleasure in committing acts of disobedience to Allah and a take it easy attitude after performing them.
- The person looks after the less important matters and does not care about the more important ones.
- The person dislikes the Truth and has difficulty accepting or submitting to it.
- The person does not find comfort in being among the righteous people but finds a great deal of peace while among the evil and sinful.
- The person is susceptible to be affected by misconceptions and doubts.
Imam Hasan al-Basree [rahimahullah] once said to a man,
- Cure your heart for Allah desires that His slaves should purify their hearts.
- You should know that you never truly love Allah until you love obeying Him.
