If the Heart Is Under Satan’s Control, Is Its Salvation the Work of the Limbs or the Heart Itself?

The task of the human being’s essential self—the “I” and the *nafs*—is more delicate and more important. Next, the heart itself must take its own healing seriously. The other faculties, like members of a family, can each play a role in supporting the head of the household.

The heart, hearing and sight are members of the great family that is the human body!

البقره : 7 ختم الله على‏ قلوبهم و على‏ سمعهم و على‏ أبصارهم غشاوه و لهم عذاب عظیم

God has sealed their hearts and their hearing, and a veil covers their eyes. A great punishment awaits them.

Disciplining the heart and sight!

الأنعام : 110 و نقلب أفئدتهم و أبصارهم کما لم یؤمنوا به أول مره و نذرهم فی‏ طغیانهم یعمهون

We turn their hearts and eyes away, just as they refused to believe in it the first time, and leave them to wander blindly in their rebellion.

The heart must understand; the eyes must see with insight; and the ears must fulfil their duty of hearing to the best of their ability.

الأعراف : 179 و لقد ذرأنا لجهنم کثیرا من الجن و الإنس لهم قلوب لا یفقهون بها و لهم أعین لا یبصرون بها و لهم آذان لا یسمعون بها أولئک کالأنعام بل هم أضل أولئک هم الغافلون

Indeed, We have destined many jinn and human beings for Hell: they have hearts with which they do not understand, eyes with which they do not see, and ears with which they do not hear. They are like cattle—indeed, even more astray. They are the heedless.

Yes, the other faculties, too, are responsible for guiding and directing the heart.
