89-1. By "qalb saleem" or unblemished heart is meant the heart that is free from shirk. That is, the heart of a believer. This is why the heart of a disbeliever and a hypocrite is diseased. Some say, it is the heart free from innovation and content with the Sunnah; according to some, it is the heart free from the love of worldly wealth and possessions; and according to others, it is the heart free from the darkness of ignorance and moral depravity. All these meanings can also be correct. This is because the heart of a believer is free from all the aforementioned evils.
