مفسدات القلوب

Since the soundness of the heart leads to the soundness of the entire body, and its corruption leads to the corruption of the entire body, Satan has targeted the heart of the son of Adam. He distracts him with the worldly life and its temptations, diverting him from the remembrance, worship, fear, and awareness of God. He deludes him with the pursuit of excessive wealth, deceives him with false hopes, and blinds him with trials and tribulations – except for those whom God protects with His mercy and rescues with His grace, saving them from Satan’s schemes and plots, and revealing to them his traps and snares. The subsequent text will delve into various factors that can corrupt the heart, including:

* **Luxury and its effects on the heart and its treatment**
* **Hypocrisy, its types, characteristics of hypocrites in the Quran and Sunnah, and protection against it**
* **Heedlessness, its causes, and how to address it**
* **Desire, its definition, why it was created, and how to deal with it**
* **Following whims, its harms, and the benefits of opposing whims**
* **Love of leadership, its causes, and treatment**
* **Passionate love, its definition, causes, and treatment**
* **Love of life, discussing the reality of life and the cure for its love**
* **Argumentation, its types, examples of praiseworthy argumentation, and harms of blameworthy argumentation**
* **Arrogance, examples of arrogant people who were led astray by arrogance from following the truth, effects of arrogance on personal behavior, punishment of the arrogant, and how to treat arrogance**
