What is the definition of a “ Qalbe saleem”( a clean heart”
(Muhammad Rafique Etesame, Ahmedpureast)
يَوْمَ لَا يَنفَعُ مَالٌۭ وَلَا بَنُونَ ٨٨ إِلَّا مَنْ أَتَى ٱللَّهَ بِقَلْبٍۢ سَلِيمٍۢ
The holy Quran reveals "The Day whereon neither wealth nor sons will avail,
Except him who brings to Allah a clean heart [clean from Shirk (polytheism) and Nifaq (hypocrisy)]:
The question is: what does it mean qalbe saleem ? whether it means a ritualistically heart free from diseases?
But it means a hart free from infidelity ascribing partners to Allah A lmighty, hatred enmity and Nifaq (hypocrisy)]deceit etc. as a hadith reveals:-
Anas reported God’s messenger as saying, “Sonny, if you can keep your heart morning and evening void of deceit towards anyone, do so.” Then he said, “Sonny, that pertains to my sunna. He who loves my sunna has loved me, and he who loves me will be with me in paradise.” (Mish kat ul masabeeh)
So, it is the need of time that we should clean our hearts from all spiritual diseases in order to be really successful at the Day of Judgement.
