Disturber Of The Hearts By Imam Ibn Qayyim al_jawziyyah

Disturber Of The Hearts

Disturber Of The Hearts 19B As an expert in this field, the discerning scholar has the ability to identify and address the spiritual illnesses caused by sins. When encountering a person in despair, he strives to reignite the flame of hope in their heart. Alternatively, if he comes across someone who is reckless and fearless, he works to instill the fear of Allah in their heart. Through the use of opposite remedies, the scholar effectively treats sickness. Within this collection by Ibn al-Jawzi, you will find cautionary narrations, warnings against wrongdoing, and stories of forbidding and punishment that will awaken the hearts from their slumber. Those who were once self-assured may become anxious, the hard-hearted may soften, and even the most apathetic will be moved to tears, while the slothful may be inspired to take action.

Introduction A LL PRAISE IS DUE TO ALLAH Who made warnings precede the punishment and taught exegetes the modality of discipline and courtesy. May the peace and blessings of Allah be upon the most esteemed leader and most honorable teacher, Muhammad () who was sent to the near and far, and upon his companions and followers. I have noticed that storytelling preachers have abandoned re- counting appropriate and suitable stories and reports that intimi- date people [in order to ward them off wrongdoings] and encour- age them [i.e. to perform good deeds]. Rather, they opt for made up stories; therefore most of their quoted narrations are fabri- cated, and if the narration happen to be authentic they would add fabrications to it. They only care for maintaining the elegance of their gathering by all means, [while neglecting the actual purpose of such gatherings] and hence, what usually happens is: the audi- ence leaves these gatherings neither being warned against a wrong- doing nor having their hearts humbled and softened. [In best the best-case scenario], the storytelling preacher mention to his audi- ence that the Mercy of Allah is all-encompassing without remind- ing them, as well, that the Punishment of Allah is severe. 19

DISTURBER OF THE HEARTS Ibn al-Jawzi (d. 597 AH) The discerning scholar is adept at diagnosing the various spiritual illnesses resulting from sins, and treating the malaise in the heart. If he finds a person falling into despair, he tries to ignite the spark of hope in his heart. If, on the other hand, he sees that one is in a reckless and fearless state, he works to instil the fear of Allah in his heart. Thus, the scholar treats sickness by using its opposite as a cure. The third masterpiece in the series addresses the disturbing phenomena of unrealistic hope, lack of fear of Allah and wishful thinking. These are in essence diseases of the heart, which are widely prevalent today. Curing these diseases can only be achieved using the potent medicine of intimidation and deterrence. When the heart is complacent and neglectful, treating it with soothing remedies is akin to prescribing a sedative for the drowsy patient that exacerbates the drowsiness. Ibn al-Jawzi, has collected herein ominous narrations, warnings against wrongdoing, and stories of foreboding and punishment that shake the hearts from their slumber. The self-assured one becomes anxious; the hard-hearted becomes soft: the dried tear ducts start to flow; and the slothful becomes motivated. The author, Ibn al-Jawzi (d. 597 AH), was an learned scholar possessing extensive knowledge. While still young, he became known as someone who was religious and given to learning. He would not waste his time in idle activities and would scrupulously avoid any food whose source was doubtful. He was a great preacher and his fame was widespread; many people repented and accepted Islam at his hands. He was also a prolific writer and authored over one thousand works encompassing a multitude of Islamic disciplines and sciences. سنة Visit us www.darassunnah.com ISBN-13: 978-1904336353-8 ISBN-10: 1-904336-35-3 Dår as-Sunnah Publishers PO Box 9818, Birmingham, B11 4WA, United Kingdom.
