As-Salaam alaikum,
In his book, al-Wabil as-Sa'ib (pg. 52), Ibn Qayyim al-Jawziyya, may Allah be Merciful to him, said that "there is no doubt that the heart oxidizes, just as copper and silver oxidize. Its polishing is the dhikr (Zikr), which will make it white like mirror. The oxidization of the heart is due to headlessness and sin.
Its polishing is by means of 2 actions: Repentance and Zikr. If someone's heart is cloudy, the reflections of images will be unclear, he will see falsehood as truth and truth in the image of falsehood. When there is too much oxidization on the heart, it becomes darkened, and in the darkness the images of Truth and Reality never appear. The best way to polish it is through Zikrullah ".
Indeed, " Verily, in the Remembrance of Allah hearts do find their rest"(Ra'ad 13:28).
