Hazrat Abdullah ibne Mas’ood (RA) narrates, (Meaning) Once Rasulullahﷺ recited the verse (meaning) …whose heart Allah has broadened up for Islam…*. Then he ﷺ explained that when the light of Iman enters into the heart, the heart broadens. The audience inquired whether there were any sign of this positive state(?) Rasulullah ﷺ informed (meaning) – yes, the sign is that such a servant’s attention moves away from the deceptive place of this world to the eternal afterlife and he gets ready before death approaches (i.e. the person engages in Tawba-Istegfar, gives up sins and increases Ibadat – worshiping Allah Taala) [Maa’riful Hadith]
*(Meaning) So I ask about a person whose heart Allah has opened up for Islam, and consequently he proceeds in a light from his Lord. (Can he be equal to the one whose heart is hardened?) So, woe to those whose hearts are too hard to remember Allah. Those are wandering in open error. (Sura Zumar – 22)
