17. صُدُور Chests • Chest and the heart is like courtyard and the house. Shaitaan enters like a thief into the courtyard and whispers from there. • If the heart is alive and sound with the Zikr of Allah, it will say A’oodhu billah just like the owner of the house who wakes up at thief’s entry. And Shaitan runs away like a thief.
