The Book of Heart Softeners | Islamic Hadith Guide for Purifying the Heart

The Book of Heart Softeners by Shaykh Muhammad ibn Salih Al-Uthaymeen is a beneficial Islamic book focused on softening and purifying the heart through authentic Hadith and scholarly explanations. The book draws selected narrations from Imam Al-Bukhari's Riqaq (Heart Softeners) and includes explanations by Shaykh Al-Uthaymeen. It addresses the spiritual hardness that can result from worldly distractions, disobedience, jealousy, harshness, and neglect of faith. These reminders encourage readers to reflect upon their relationship with Allah, develop humility and compassion, and strengthen their spiritual character. The book is a useful resource for Muslims seeking Tazkiyah, heart purification, spiritual growth, and greater awareness of the Hereafter.

From Author:

In the name of Allah, the Most Merciful and Most Compassionate. Praise to the One Who completed this religion and sent guidance through His Messenger salAllahu ’alayhi wa sallam. To begin: Every so often our daily lives preoccupy us and turn us away from Allah's promise. When we walk out of our homes, turn on the radio, TV, or Internet, we are distracted by the evils we see and hear. As result of immorality and unashamed disobedience, our hearts grow hard and distant from Allah and His Messenger's call. We know the message of Islam is true, but we are weak due to the rigidity of our heart, spirit and mind. In times like these, we need something to penetrate that stiffness. We need a remedy to soften that hardness and the inflexibility of our choices. Disunity and harshness afflicts this Ummah today. Consequently, many people have turned away from brotherhood, caring, and even Islam itself. Their hearts have transformed into dwellings of complete hatred for a sinner, disdain toward the weak Muslim, and jealousy of their successful brother or sister. I have selected some ahaadeeth from the most authentic book after the Qur’aan to soften the hearts in our chests. I used Shaykh Muhammad ibn Saalih Al-’Uthaymeen's explanations for the ahaadeeth selected. The ahaadeeth selected come from a book in Imam Al-Bukhari's collection titled Riqaq: Heart Softeners. This chapter brings tears to one's eyes, fear to one's mind, and most importantly it diminishes the rigidity in one's heart. I ask Allah to make the translation and compilation solely for His pleasure. I pray to Allah for acceptance of this deed and His mercy in the Hereafter.

THE BOOK OF
Heart Softeners
The chapter Riqaq is a collection of ahaadeeth that refine the heart. Sometimes the heart becomes hard due to disobedience and constant carelessness, and thus needs something to soften it. The scholars have called the things that soften the heart "riqaq."
