There are three different types of heart

Types of hearts:
There are three different types of heart.

1. Healthy Heart:
On the Day of Resurrection, only those who come to Allah with a healthy heart will be saved.

Allah says:
"The day on which neither wealth nor sons will be of any use, except for whoever brings to Allah a sound heart.” [26:88-89]

This type is devoted passionately to seeking the pleasure of Allah SWT. It looks forward to obeying the commands of its Creator, looks forward to acts of worship and even looks forward to meeting its Maker. Its always at peace despite the many hardships it may be facing.

2. Dead Heart:
This is the opposite of the healthy heart. It does not know its creator and therefore avoids all commands that have been sent. It clings to its own whims and desires. Too much of the duniya, no worries for the akirah is this hearts main concern. It guides itself and turns to ignorant people as its leaders. To keep associations with this person whose heart is dead is tempting illness for ourselves.

3. Sick Heart:
This is the most common type of heart. Its full of life but at the same time suffers from illness. It waivers a lot between good and evil. It experiences a lot of high eeman as well as low eeman. It may be listening to the Quran but will also indulge in worldly distractions. There is HOPE for this type of heart.

The first heart is alive, submitted to Allah, humble, sensitive and aware;

the second is brittle and dead;

the third wavers between either its safety or its ruin.

May Allah give us the best of hearts in which He is nothing but pleased with, Ameen.
