Explanation of a Poem On The Signs Of A Healthy Heart, by the eminence Sulaymãn Samhãn, by Abd Ar-Razzâq Abd Al-Muhsin al-Badr

This is a brief explanation of a useful and beneficial poem about the hearts and their purification, as well as acting for their cleansing and preservation, and the clarification of the signs that prove the sanity of the heart and its righteousness, while mentioning major points that servants must observe to purify their heart. This is followed by an expose of the belief of the People of the Sunnah and the group, which is the foundation of the purification of hearts and their rectification. Indeed, hearts cannot be purified, nor rectified, nor be healthy, except by adopting the correct belief drawn from the Book of Allah and the Sunnah of His Messenger (PBUH), Allah, exalted be He, says meaning of the verses ]:

"The day when neither wealth nor children will be of any use; except for the one who comes to Allah with a healthy heart." (Ash-Shu'arà-, 88-89).

The scholars have said: "That is, healthy from all polytheism and all doubt, associating with Allah and doubting in the belief and religion of Allah, while also being preserved from persisting in innovations and disobediences.

The healthy heart is therefore the one that is preserved from all this. From this we understand that the rectification of the heart by the authentic belief drawn from the Book of Allah and the Sunnah of His Prophet is a necessary foundation for the sanity and rectification of the heart. Since hearts will not be rectified and will not be healthy, straight as they should be on the right path of Allah, unless they are on the authentic, healthy belief, drawn from the Book of Allah and the Sunnah of the Messenger of Allah, may the praises of Allah and His salutations be upon him.
