SIGNS OF A PURE & HEALTHY HEART – IBN QAYYIM

  • One considers himself as belonging to the next world and not this world. He  is a stranger in this world anxious to reach his abode in the Hereafter.
  • One continues to be upset with himself any time he commits a sin until he finally and completely repents to Allah.
  • One is more upset and unhappy if he misses his daily recitation of the Qur’an and dhikr, than if he had lost his wealth.
  • One finds greater pleasure worshipping Allah than any pleasure in eating and drinking.
  • One’s worries and concerns about this world leave him whenever he begins  his formal prayers.
  • One’s only concern and worries are about Allah and doing deeds only for His sake.
  • One is more concerned and stingy about wasting time than a greedy person is with respect to his wealth.
  • One is more concerned about the correctness of his deeds than with the performance of the deeds themselves.
