Look for Your Heart in Three Places

اُطْلُبْ قَلْبَكَ فِيْ ثَلاَثِ مَوَاطِنَ:

عِنْدَ سَمَاعِ اْلقُرْآنِ، وَفِيْ مَجَالِسِ الذِّكْرِ، وَفِيْ أَوْقَاتِ اْلخُلْوَةِ

فَإِنْ لَمْ تَجِدْ فِيْ هَذِهِ اْلمَوَاطِنَ

فَسَلِ اللهَ أَنْ يَمُنَّ عَلَيْكَ بِقَلْبٍ، فَإِنَّهُ لاَ قَلْبَ لَكَ

Look for your heart in three places: when listening to the Qur’an,
When sitting in the gathering of knowledge
and when in privacy. If you cannot find it in these places, then ask Allah to bless you with a heart, for indeed you have no heart.”

Taken from the work of Ibnu Qayyim al-Jauziyyah - may Allah have mercy on him
