It is the seat of choice in man, which is affected by the states of the spirit, the levels of the soul and the opinion of the mind, and makes the decision based on these. It is also the thing at which the Lord looks, as the noble hadith says: ‘God looks not at your bodies or your forms; but He looks to your hearts and your deeds.’ Spiritual ascent causes the heart to rise and live in a state of certainty, in its three levels as described by the experts in this art, namely knowledge of certainty, vision of certainty and truth of certainty, which is the highest level to which a man can rise, after which there is no end to the ascent of his heart’s stability. In this way, the heart ascends through the nine stations of certainty, which are: repentance, renunciation, patience, gratitude, fear, contentment, hope, reliance, and love, according to how they are enumerated in Qut al-Qulub.

“A Muslim should not wait for the time when one is considered old to think that death is near. Whilst only Allah, the Exalted, knows when a person’s time is due, knowing the deeds to perform when one is sick, visiting the sick or approaching death helps us to remember Allah, the Most Merciful, and makes it easy for the sick and dying person to cope with the process of death. Everyone should be aware and be prepared for the unexpected death of his or her family member, young or old and the practices during such difficult times as conducted by the Prophet, may Allah’s blessings and peace be upon him.”
