Shiavault - a Vault of Shia Islamic Books Mikyalul Makarim Fee Fawaaid ad-Duaa Lil Qai’m vol. 1 Spread Of The Effulgence Of His Eminence In The Supplicant’s Heart ====================================================================== This matter could be explained under three subheadings: First: It is that without any doubt by conditions and different changes as a result of actions that a man commits, his heart is affected. And this can be perceived by us through our realization.

Moreover, verses of the Holy Qur’an and traditions of the family of infallibility (as) also prove it.

Allah, the Mighty and the High says, regarding the faithful people: إِنَّمَا الْمُؤْمِنُونَ الَّذِينَ إِذَا ذُكِرَ اللَّهُ وَجِلَتْ قُلُوبُهُمْ “Those only are believers whose hearts become full of fear when Allah is mentioned.” (Qur’an, Surah Anfaal 8:2) And with regard to the infidels and transgressors He says: ثُمَّ قَسَتْ قُلُوبُكُمْ مِنْ بَعْدِ ذَٰلِكَ فَهِيَ كَالْحِجَارَةِ “Then your hearts hardened after that, so that they were like rocks.” (Qur’an, Surah Baqarah 2:74) There are other verses also.

It is narrated from the Holy Prophet (S) that he said: “Meet each other and converse and discuss; as the mention of traditions polishes the heart, indeed hearts blacken (rust) like swords.” There are numerous traditions regarding this, some of which would be presented to the readers. Second: As much an action is valuable and great in the view of Allah, its effect on the heart is as much profound and illuminating.

Therefore after the Marefat of Allah and the Marefat of His Prophet there is nothing more significant than the Wilayat and love of Amirul Momineen (as) and his purified progeny (as). And it is in this regard that our master His Eminence, Abu Ja’far Baqir (as) told Abu Khalid Kabuli: “By Allah, O Abu Khalid, the Noor of the Imam in the hearts of the believers is more shining than the Sun during the day. And it illuminates the hearts of the believers.

And Allah, the Mighty and Sublime prevents their Noor from the hearts of whosoever He likes, leaving them in darkness. By Allah, O Abu Khalid, there is no man that cultivates love and affinity for us but that the Almighty Allah purifies his heart.
