If it is not the physical heart then with spiritual practice. Meditation and prayer come to mind in this respect.

Great question. The Qur'an addresses this very issue directly in several verses. Yunus Chapter 10 : Verse 58 O mankind! there indeed has come to you an Exhortation from your Lord and a healing for whatever disease there is in the hearts, and a guidance and a mercy to the believers. In the above verse, Allah swt tells us that the Qur'an itself is the cure to the disease of the heart. Then, Allah swt says in another place... Al-Ahzab Chapter 33 : Verse 61 If the Hypocrites and those in whose hearts is a disease and those who cause agitation in the City by spreading false rumours, desist not, We shall, surely, urge thee on against them; then they will not dwell therein as thy neighbours save for a little while. Allah swt clearly places those who spread false rumors in the same category as those who have a disease in their hearts. Therefore, to cure that disease, one needs to be truthful and stick only to truth, rejecting the habit of spreading falsehood. In another verse Allah swt says that those whos hearts are hardened in opposition to the Prophet (sa), also have a disease. Hence we learn that humilty is important. So three good ways to cure the disease of the heart is to follow the Qur'an, do not spread lies and rumors, and have humility. What wonderful advice from Allah swt indeed. love for all, hatred for none

If we obey our desires our self keep getting strong and over power the spirit if we leave it hundgry from the spirituality which it gets from the teachings of Allah in Quran and developing close relationship with Allah (God almighty).

Asslamu Alaikum sister, well the cruelty of heart is a disease that is cured only by mentioning Allah Almighty (praise and glorification of Allah), and the oblivion (not to mention Allah) is the reason behind this heart disease in addition to the misfortune in life.

The first cure is with sincerity of your soul truth, is to praise Almighty ALLAH(SWT) Prophet Yunus(AS) who was swallowed by a large fish, but due to his glorification of ALLAH(SWT), he was saved! This incident: "And had he not been one of those who glorify (ALLAH.SWT), he would have tarried in its belly till the day when they are raised."(As-Saffat 37:143-44) For strength and before going to bed say: SUBHANALLAH (glory be to ALLAH.SWT) 33times. ALHAMDULILLAH - (praise be to ALLAH.SWT) 33times. ALLAHU AKBAR - (ALLAH.SWT is the Greatest) 34times. The Quran a healing of hearts. When you sincerely recite the Quran, ALLAH(SWT) heals the believers of the distress afflicting their heart.Ameen.INSHA'ALLAH.

In 21:83 Allah spoke that we shoulod keep patient and make a prayer. In 27:62 Allah promises that Allah will permit the prayer of someone who has difficulty. In 26:80 Allah spoke that if someone was ill,Allah will cure him/her,not other power In 7:31 Allah spoke that physical and mentah health could be maintained by adequate eating and drinking without exageration and should be fit with your body's needs.In 5:91 Khamar and other alcoholic drink will ruin your health physically and mentally. In 2:10 Allah spoke that besides physical and mental diseases there is disease of heart which will affect most of humans. In 24:47 Allah spoke that the disease of heart will be clearly shown in their acts to Allah,Qur'an,Hadits and prophets. In 16:69 Allah spoke that honey is the medicine for physical disease. In 17:82 Allah spoke that Al Qur'an has been given for curing the disease of heart and blessing for humans who have faith or iman and Al Qur'an for cruel persons will bring more losses.

“Diseases of the Hearts & their Cures†By sheikh al Islaam ibn Taymiyyah An Extract: Miserliness and jealousy are sicknesses that lead to the soul hating that which would benfit it, and its loving that which would haram it. This is why jealousy was mention alongside hartred and resentment in the preceeding ahaadeeth. As for the sickness of desire and passionate love then this is the soul loving that which would haram it and coupled with this is its hatred of that which would benefit it. Passionate love is a psychological sickness, and when its effects become noticable oÂn the body, it becomes a sickness that afflicts the mind also. Either by afflicting the mind by the likes of melancholy, or afflicting the body throught weakness and emaciation. But the purpose here is to discuss its affect oÂn the heart, for passionate love is the fundament that makes the soul covet that which would harm it, similar to the oÂne weak of body who covets that which harms it, and if he is not satiated by that then he is grieved, and if he is satiated then his sickness increases. The same applies to the heart afflicted with this love, for it is harmed by its connection to the loved, either by seeing, touching, hearing, or even thinking about it. And if he were to curb the love then the heart is hurt and grieved by this, and if he gives it ito the desire then the sickness becomes stroger and becomes a means trough which the grievance is increased. In the Hadeeth there accurs, " Indeed Allah shelters His beliveing servant from the world just as oÂne of you shelter your sick oÂnes from food and drink [ that would harm them]" In the hadeeth concerning the saving of Moosa reported by Wahbibn Munabbih [ is a noble taabi ee, this hadeeth is reported from him but is not authentic.] which is recorded by Imaam Ahmad in Zuhd " Allah says indeed I drive away my friends from the delights of this world and its opulence and comfort just ask the compassionate shephered drives away his camel from the dangerous crazing lands. And Indeed I make them avoid its tranguillity and liveihood, just ask the compassionate shepherd makes his camel to avoid the resting places wherein it would be easy pray. This not because I consider them to be insignificant, but so that they may complete their porition of my kindness in Safety and abundance, the delights of the world will not attract him and neither would desires overcome him." Therefore the oÂnly cure for the sick lies in his removing the sickness by removing the blameworth love from his heart. People are diveded into two opinions concerning passionate love: oÂne group says that it falls into the category of intentions and wishes, this being the famous opinion. Another group says that it falls into the caterory of imagination and fantasies and that it is corruption of the imagination since it cause oÂne to depict the oÂne who is loved in other than his true reality. This group went oÂn to say: "And this is why Allah has not been described with passionate love [shik] and neither that he passionately love [ya shik] because He is far removed from this, and oÂne cannot be prasied who has there corrupt thoughts." As for the first group, then from them are those who said: He is described with passionate love [ishk] because it is a complete and perfect love and Allah Loves [yuhib]." And it is reported in the narration of Abdul Wahid bin Zayd that He said, "The servant will always continue to draw close to me, loving Me and I loving him {a shiquhoo]." This is the saying of some of the Soofis but majority do not apply this word to Allah, because passionate love is a love exceeding the prooper bounds, as for the Love of Allah then it has no end and cannot exceed the proper bounds. Passionate love is to be considered blameworthy without any exceptions, it is not to be praised when it is directed toward the Creator or created because it is a love that exceeds the proper bounds. This is also true because the word 'passionate love' is oÂnly employed with regards to a man loving a woman or chid [ or vice versa]. it is not employed in things such as the love of oÂne's family, propery or status, just as it not emplayed with regards to the love of the Prophets and the righteous. Commonly, you will fidn this word being mentioned alongside a forbidden action, such as loving the woman who is not lawful for him, or loving a child joined with th eunlawful glance and touch and other such unlawful actions. And for the love of a man for his wife or slave girl which leads him out of the folds of justice such that he does unlawful things for her and leave what is obligatory- as commonly happens- even to the extent tht he may oppress his son born of his old wife due to this love of his new wife, or to the extent that he will do things to keep her happy that would haram his religion and worldy life. For example his singling her out for inheritance that she does not deserve, or that he gives her family authorit and property that exceeds the limits set by Allah, or he goes to exceees in spending oÂn her, or he makes unlawful things possible for her which is harm his religion and worldly life. This passionate love is forbidden with regards for oÂne who has passionate love for someone who is unlawful or with regards to two men. For this contains a corruption that extent of which none can assess except the lord of the servants; it is a sickness that corrupts the religion and objectives of the oÂne who possesses it, then it corrupts his intelligence and then his body. Allah the mos High, says, " Then do not be soft in speech, lest he is whose heart is a disease should be moved with desire, but speak in a honourable manner." Soorah al ahzaab :32 There are some whose hearts contain the disease of desire and whose perceptions are oÂnly skin deep. When the object of the desire submits, the sickness is satiated, and this satiation strengthens the desire and pursuit of the object and hence strengthens the sickness. This is a contrast to the oÂne whose objective is not met, for this failure results is removing the satiation that would strengthen the sickness and there by the desire is weakended as is the love. This is because the person definitely inteds tht there be action accompanying his desire, for otherwise all his desire would be is just whispering of the soul, unless there is some speech or looking accompany this. As for the oÂne who is afflicted with this passionate love but holds back and is patient, then indeed Allah will reward him for his taqwaa as occurs in the hadeeth, " that the oÂne who passionately love someone yets hold back, conceals this and is patient, then dies upon this, will be a martry." [ A da eef hadeeth, ] This hadeeth is known to be the report of Yahya al Qataat from Mujaahid from Ibn Abbass from the Prophet sallahu wa alyhe wa sallam but it is problematic and such a hadeeth is not to be depended upon. But it is known from the evideces of the Shareeah that if oÂne were to hold back from performing that which is unlawful, be it looking, speaking or acting, and conceals this and does not articulate it so as not to fall into that which is prohibited and he is patient in his obedience to Allah and keep away form disobedience to Allah, despite the pain that his hearts feels due to this passionate love, [similar to the case of the oÂne who is patient throught a calaminty, then indeed this person would gain the same rewards as those who have feared Allah and been Patient. " Verily, he who fears Allah and is patient, then surely Allah makes not the reward of the doers of good to be lost." Soorah Yoosuf :90

And seek help with patience and prayer, and this indeed is hard except for the humble in spirit, (2:45) The steadfast, and the truthful, and the humble, and those who spend in the way of Allah and those who pray for pardon in the latter part of the night
