Description
Description
The Blame of Hardness of Heart, by Imam Ibn Rajab Al-Hanbali, is a classic work of Islamic spiritual literature. Published by Al Wahyan Editions, it deals with a fundamental theme: the state of the heart and the spiritual diseases that can affect it. Hardness of the heart is one of the most alarming signs of distancing from Allah, and Ibn Rajab dedicates a profound study to it here, drawn from his numerous epistles.
A central topic: hardness of the heart
In the Quran, Allah warns against those whose hearts have hardened:
"Then your hearts became hardened after that, being like stones or even harder."
(Surah Al-Baqara, verse 74)
In this book, Ibn Rajab elaborates on the causes of this hardness: excessive attachment to worldly life, neglect of the remembrance of Allah, persistence in sins, loss of the sense of repentance, and forgetfulness of the Hereafter. He also alerts to the consequences of this disease: loss of living faith, distancing from Allah, indifference to sin, lack of compassion, and despair.
A work rooted in the Quran and Sunnah
The author bases his analyses on Quranic verses, authentic hadiths of Prophet Muhammad, accounts of the Companions, and the sayings of the pious predecessors. He draws poignant examples, wise words, and powerful exhortations from them to illustrate the urgency of healing the heart and keeping it alive through remembrance, prayer, Quranic recitation, and repentance.
An excerpt from the book perfectly expresses the seriousness of the subject:
"The most terrible situation that can befall an individual is the hardness of his heart and its darkness. It is that he is punished in his inner self more than in his apparent punishment."
A work to purify the soul
This book is addressed to every Muslim concerned about their spiritual state. It offers a clear diagnosis of heart diseases, but more importantly, remedies derived from revelation:
-
Consistency in seeking forgiveness
-
Intensification of the remembrance of Allah
-
Humility in worship
-
Keeping company with righteous advice
The detachment from unnecessary pleasures of worldly life
