The Hardening of the Heart

Hardening of the heart is a bad condition that every believer must avoid. When the heart of a believer hardens then it neither learns any lesson from Allah's Signs nor does it accept anyone's good advice and religious preaching. One reason for heart hardening is idle and nonsense talking. If one indulges in  talk rather than the remembrance of Allah, his heart becomes hardened, which is a sign of being far from Allah's Mercy. One should therefore occupy himself with the remembrance of Allah and refrain from talking too much.

Ibn 'Umar (RA) reported: The Messenger of Allah (PBUH) said, "Do not indulge in excessive talk except when remembering Allah. Excessive talking without the Remembrance of Allah hardens the heart; and those who are the farthest from Allah are those whose hearts are hard."
