4. Tick the two statements that are true about the heart.

If it is correct, then the whole body is set aright.

The focal point of righteousness and corruption is the heart.

Desires of the heart are not responsible for a person falling into impermissible (haram) and unclear matters.

A person is not required to protect his heart from corruption since a person has no control over it.

The heart is a metaphorical expression for the brain, which is the true seat of emotions.

The two statements that are true about the heart are: "If it is correct, then the whole body is set aright" and "The focal point of righteousness and corruption is the heart." These statements suggest that the condition of the heart has a significant impact on the overall well-being and moral state of a person. If the heart is in the right state, it will have positive effects on the entire body, and the heart is considered the center where righteousness and corruption can originate.

They might be clear to some people but not others.

Only Allaah and His Messenger can understand them.

Only Allaah understands them and it is not possible for his prophets (alaihimus salaam) nor His angels.

The statement "They might be clear to some people but not others" is true about doubtful/unclear matters because different individuals have different levels of understanding and knowledge. What may seem unclear to one person could be clear to another based on their level of comprehension and experience. It is subjective and varies from person to person.

8. Match the words of the hadeeth of An-Numaan in Arabic with their meanings in English.

إنَّ الْحَلَالَ بَيِّنٌ وَإنَّ الْحَرَامَ بَيِّنٌ

وَبَيْنَهُمَا أُمُورٌ مُشَبَّهَاتٌ لَا يَعْلَمُهُنَّ كَثِيرٌ مِنْ النَّاسِ

فَمَنْ اتَّقَى الشُبُّهَاتِ فَقَدِ اسْتَبْرَأَ لِدِينِهِ وَعِرْضِهِ

وَمَنْ وَقَعَ فِي الشُّبُهَاتِ وَقَعَ فِي الْحَرَامَ

كَرَاعِي يَرْعَى حَوْلَ الْحِمَى يُوشِكُ أَنْ يَرْتَعَ فِيهِ

أَلَا وَإِنَّ لِكُلِّ مَلِكٍ حِمًى أَلَا إِنَّ حِمَى اللَّهِ مَحَارِمُهُ

أَلَا وَإِنَّ فِي الْجَسَدِ مُضْغَةً إِذَا صَلَحَتْ صَلَحَ الْجَسَدُ كُلُّهُ وَإِذَا فَسَدَتْ فَسَدَ الْجَسَدُ كُلُّهُ

أَلَا وَهِيَ الْقَلْبُ

The meaning of “protects himself” is: by leaving them off.
The meaning of “he has freed his religion” is: from partaking in forbidden matters.
The meaning of “he has protected his honour” is: from doing that which would make the people criticise him.
(These meanings are taken from Shaykh Saalih al Fawzaan's explanation of Nawawi's 40)
