Consult Your Heart
Abu’l-Faraj ibn al-Jawzi
I was able to acquire a worldly effect as result of following a legal concession but each time I acquired more of it, something was lost from my heart; each time an avenue to acquire more lit up before me, the darkness in my heart grew.
I cried out,
‘Oh evil soul! Sinfulness is the sore of hearts, and he [SAW] said, “Consult your heart.”
