10 Heart Potentials
at 1:30 AM
In Arabic, qalb and fuad have very similar meanings. A Prophet Muhammad’s hadith indicates the similarity of meanings of those two terms in connection with softness and smoothness. We can see the applications in following sentences: “their qalbs are softer” and “their fuads are smoother”. Furthermore, potentials of qalb (heart) mentioned in Al Quran are:1) Turning away, like mentioned in surah at Taubah/ 9: 117.
2) Feeling disappointed and upset, like mentioned in surah az Zumar/39:45.
3) Intentionally deciding to do something, like mentioned in surah Al Ahzab/33:5 and surah al Baqarah/ 2:225.
4) Having prejudices, like mentioned in surah al Fatah/48:12.
5) Refusing something, like mentioned in surah at Taubah/9:8.
6) Denying something, like mentioned in surah an Nahl/16:22.
7) Can be tested, like mentioned in surah al Hujurat/49.
8) Can be bent down (ditundukan), like mentioned in surah al Hajj/22:54.
9) Can be widened or narrowed like mentioned in surah al An’am/6: 125
10) (Even) Can be sealed, like mentioned in surah al Baqarah/2: 7
How a heart can turn away, change, refuse or deny something, and so on is also indicated by following matsur prayer:
“O, my God who changes hearts at your own disposal, please make our hearts stick to Your religion to obey You” (H.R. Muslim from `Amr ibn `Ash).
