How is your heart? This organ is a subtle creation of our Rabb, it is the seat of our faith and the only thing of true worth we will take with us to Allah. Yet how much time do we take to understand, nourish and protect it? Do we know what hinders and helps it? In My Dear Heart, Dr. Haifaa draws on timeless wisdom from the Qur'an and sunnah and her own experiences to help you care for your heart. The thirty chapters accompany you on a journey of discovering what dwells in your heart and what affects its different states. My Dear Heart is an invitation to pause and reflect on the sicknesses that harm/tarnish it and the cures to restore its health on the path to achieving a sound heart, a qalbun saleem. In a world full of distractions and noise, this book brings our focus back to what matters; a heart that is close to Allah, at peace and pleasing to Him.
