What can I do about a diseased heart?
The Prophet Muhammad said: 'Verily, in the body there is a piece of flesh. If it is sound, the whole body is sound; and if it is diseased, the whole body is diseased. Verily, it is the heart.' The first step to treat a diseased heart is to recognize that your heart is diseased, and then to seek remedies. The remedies are known: remembrance of Allah, reading Quran, repentance, seeking forgiveness, good deeds. The most important is to turn to Allah and ask Him to heal your heart.
