﷽
He ﷻ is the Turner of the Heart
Allah ﷻ says
كَلَّا ۖ بَلْ ۜ رَانَ عَلَىٰ قُلُوبِهِم مَّا كَانُوا۟ يَكْسِبُونَ
But no! In fact, their hearts have been stained by all [the evil] they used to commit!
[83:14]
Meaning, The only thing that blocked their hearts from believing in it is the dark covering cast over it from the many sins and wrong they committed that has covered up their hearts.
This dark covering known as Raan overcomes the hearts of the disbelievers
_
As the Prophet ﷺ said “Verily, when the servant commits a sin a black spot appears upon his heart. If he abandons the sin, seeks forgiveness, and repents, then his heart will be polished. If he returns to the sin, the blackness will be increased until it overcomes his heart. It is the covering that Allah has mentioned: No, but on their hearts is a covering because of what they have earned.”
[Sunan al-Tirmidhī 3334]
_
Sins strengthen the Shaythan that accompanies you and the Nafs against you.
_
A person will commit a sin, and it will affect him little, but when it eventually builds up, his heart soon becomes hard and averse to the Ayaat of Allah ﷻ,
_
And this humiliates a person internally and externally.
For example, The person who commits Zina gains a bad reputation, and their own Imaan weakens when they can’t find a righteous spouse.
The girl is known as a slut, and the Boy is known as a player.
Both are a humiliation which decreases them before Allah ﷻ and the people!
_
How many people do you see, they didn’t pray Salah when they were young and now in their middle years and older years they struggle?
How many do you see, they wasted their youth, and now they struggle to recite Qur’an in their old age?
How many do you see, forgot Allah ﷻ and by the end of it, lost their Deen entirely?
_
There has to come a point where you say
Stop! Stop!
_
And you repent to Allah ﷻ!
_
Our hearts are never in the same condition all the time. It is therefore important that we ask Allah ﷻ to keep our hearts firm upon His Deen.
_
It is reported by Anas رضي الله عنه : The Messenger of Allah ﷺ would often make this dua:
يَا مُقَلِّبَ الْقُلُوبِ ثَبِّتْ قَلْبِي عَلَى دِينِكَ
O turner of the hearts, affirm my heart upon your religion!
[Sunan Tirmidhī 2140, Grade: Sahih]
_
May Allah ﷻ keep our hearts firm upon His Deen.
آمِيْن يَارَبَّ الْعَالَمِينْ
