My Dear Heart

My Dear Heart is a thirty-chapter guide to spiritual self-examination, written by Dr Haifaa Younis, a psychiatrist and Islamic teacher. The book treats the heart as the seat of faith and the central organ of a person's relationship with God, working through the spiritual diseases and obstacles that can affect it and the remedies the Qur'an and Sunnah offer in response. Drawing on both religious sources and her clinical background, Younis combines classical Islamic concepts of the heart with practical, everyday language, aiming to help readers move toward what the Qur'an calls 'a sound heart' (qalbun saleem). The book suits readers interested in Islamic spirituality and self-development, and those looking for a structured framework for ongoing personal reflection.
