How to Achieve Tranquility of the Heart “Unquestionably, by the remembrance of Allah hearts are assured.” (Qur’an, 13:28 ) In the last article in this section, we wrap up the things we have to do in our journey to gain tranquility of the heart with the remembrance of Allah. When we try to figure out why we are so often bothered,  why we feel disturbed internally, or why we feel sad – we need to go back to our hearts. The Prophet ﷺ (may the peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: “Do not talk too much without remembering and mentioning Allah, for too much talk without mentioning Allah hardens the heart, and the person farthest from Allah is the one with a hard heart.” (Tirmidhi) SubhanAllah (glory to Allah) – our heart hardens when we do not remember Allah.

So she drowned. If you allow dunya to own your heart, like the ocean that owns the boat, it will take over. You will sink down to the depths of the sea. You will touch the ocean floor. A...
