Comment about the Hadith earlier was just an accuracy point, but the article is excellent and I second more details about stories or experiences it really helps us all overcome barriers and doubts when trying to get closer to the Qur’an… JAK

I think this is a wonderful article.

I must say however, I too was also confused when I looked on my facebook wall and it attributed that saying to the Prophet (S.A.W.) but the article attributed it to a companion. We should fix it so that readers don’t attribute the saying to the Prophet (S.A.W.) if he didn’t say it. Wise and good knowledge is excellent, but we don’t want to accidentally cross an important line.

In reply to Omar. Yes, looks like you're right: `Abdullah ibn Mas`ood, radi Allahu `anhu (may Allah be pleased with him), one of the closest companions of the Prophet (saws), once presented a diagnostic by which a Believer may determine the state of the qalb. He said: “Look for your heart in three places: when listening to the Qur’an, when seeking knowledge (of Allah) and when in privacy. If you cannot find it in these places, then ask Allah (swt) to bless you with a heart, for indeed you have no heart.”

Isn’t this “The Prophet ﷺ said, “Look for your heart in three places: when listening to the Qur’an, when seeking knowledge (of Allah) and when in privacy”

Sayidna Ibn Mas’ud’s statement instead?
