What are the names of books that discuss the heart, its defects, and its diseases?
Among the beneficial books on the ailments of the hearts are:
"Amrad al-Quloob wa Shifa'uha" (Ailments of the Hearts and Their Cures) by Sheikh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyyah.
"Ighathat al-Lahfan" by Ibn al-Qayyim.
The "Rub' al-Muhlikat" (Quarter of the Destructive Evils) from "Ihya' Ulum al-Din" (Revival of the Religious Sciences), and its abridgments such as: "Mukhtasar Minhaj al-Qasidin" by al-Maqdisi, and "Tahdhib Maw'izhat al-Mu'minin" by al-Qasimi.
"Mawsu'at Fiqh al-Quloob" (Encyclopedia of the Jurisprudence of the Hearts) by al-Tuwaijri.
Small treatises by Sheikh Muhammad Salih al-Munajjid on the corrupting influences of the hearts, such as: The Malady of Arrogance, Heedlessness, Love of Leadership, and Passionate Love.
The greatest admonition of all is the Holy Quran; Allah the Almighty says: "O mankind, there has come to you an admonition from your Lord and a healing for what is in the breasts and guidance and mercy for the believers." (Yunus: 57).
