In your hearts

“‘If Allaah knows any good in your hearts, He will give you something better than what has been taken from you’”
~ Surat ul-Anfaal, 8:70

Shaykh Muhammad bin Saalih al-’Uthaymeen (rahimahullaah) says:
“When Allaah knows that there is good in a person’s heart, He gives him good. Allaah, ta’aala, said: {O Prophet (Muhammad (sallAllaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam)), say to the captives that are in your hands: If Allaah knows any good in your hearts, He will give you something better than what has been taken from you, and He will forgive you, and Allaah is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful}. So rectify your heart between you and Allaah, and you will find all good.”


Shaykh Sultaan bin ‘Abd ir-Rahmaan al-’Eed (hafidhahullaah) says:
“Slaves of Allaah, don’t let your hearts attach to any sin, and know that whoever leaves something for the sake of Allaah, then Allaah will replace it with something better, {If Allaah knows any good in your hearts, He will give you something better than what has been taken from you, and He will forgive you}.”
