Disease in the Heart
أَفِي قُلُوبِهِم مَّرَضٌ أَمِ ٱرۡتَابُوٓاْ أَمۡ يَخَافُونَ أَن يَحِيفَ ٱللَّهُ عَلَيۡهِمۡ وَرَسُولُهُۥۚ بَلۡ أُوْلَـٰٓئِكَ هُمُ ٱلظَّـٰلِمُونَ ٥٠
Is there in their hearts a disease, or have they doubts, or fear they lest Allah and His messenger should wrong them in judgment? Nay, but such are evil-doers.
Translation: Marmaduke Pickthall
Meaning
Is there disease in their hearts, or are they in doubt, or do they fear injustice?
Insight
According to Elmalılı, this is a spiritual disease inclining to disbelief and injustice, a corruption of conscience.
Reflect
Keep your conscience alive to the truth.
