Since you’re already misguided,
what’s the harm in being misguided further…
What is the Hardness of the Heart?
It’s a point to ponder, isn’t it?
If God has absolute power over everything then wouldn’t God’s name also have absolute power over everything?
It would, right? It should.
How can a heart be so hard that it renders the name of God helpless; it cannot enter such a hardened heart.
Did the thought ever cross your mind that by saying this you are degrading the divine grandeur?
You’re proving God to be weak, that God’s name isn’t even powerful enough to combat one’s disbelief.
Isn’t there any scholar who can provide an answer for this?
‘fa wailul lilqaasiyati quloobuhum min zikr allah’.
‘Woe and destruction is for those (whose hearts do not engage in Zikr Allah)’.
Why is that the case? Because your (God’s) name is not entering their hearts.
So why don’t you send a name that can enter their hearts?
‘Fa wail (destruction is)...’ ‘qaasiyati quloobuhum min zikr allah’.
‘Woe and destruction is for those in whose hearts God’s name cannot enter.'
Well, why can’t it?
It’s your name that isn’t entering their hearts so then why are they being punished for it?
Otherwise, it should be said that your name is useless before such hardened hearts.
However, God and God’s name are the most powerful, right?
Is there anything more powerful? There isn’t, right?
So then what of these hearts that are impervious to God’s name? God’s name cannot enter these hearts.
Such hardness… the word ‘hardness’ is used in this verse. The word ‘qast’ means hardness; hardness of stone. ‘Qast’.
Now you will say what I’m saying is blasphemous.
Even if you don’t say it aloud, you’ll surely think it.
1450 years passed but no one touched upon this topic.
If God’s name didn’t enter the heart, they did not question it.
I mean, one should ponder that if my heart is so hard then what about those mountains… were they made of cotton?
They weren’t made of wax, those mountains. But for them, God said, ‘Had I rendered my name upon the mountains, they would erupt(crumble)’.
So can my heart be harder than mountains?
On one hand, God has nullified it by saying that the mountains cannot withstand (God’s name),
and on the other hand, the human heart is impervious to God’s name.
Moving forward, these are the kinds of things we shall discuss.
What should have happened?
It should’ve been the case whereby nothing should be able to defeat God’s name, not disbelief, not hypocrisy.
If we are to say that there are hearts so hard that God’s name can’t enter them…
we’ve been deceived, we’re told that this is the fault of the disbelievers.
But why isn’t God’s name powerful enough?
A momin can enter the house of a disbeliever but your (God’s) name can’t enter their hearts?
This is because the name that came, the name that was previously granted was not introduced in its maximum potency.
The name of God had not been introduced with its maximum power.
It was capable enough to deal with spirits that originate from Malakut and Jabarut, but not the terrestrial spirits.

You see, that name of God was capable enough to address the spirits that were from Malakut and Jabarut. With me so far?
Now, how does one’s heart become hardened all of a sudden?
The mineral spirit within the bones of a person’s body - the angels are told to link up that mineral spirit with heart.
When the mineral spirit is linked up with the heart, the Zikr Allah (if granted) is nullified because the mineral spirit is a terrestrial spirit, not a celestial spirit.
When the mineral spirit is linked up with the heart, they also think the name of God is about to enter into the wrong place.
You see when the angels come to grant the name of God - there are two muakkels (angelic creatures) that come
They look at the heart and see that in place of the heart is a mineral spirit, and they think it to be a stone or hard flesh, so they leave.
Now, if there's a personality that has authority, with their spiritual concentration they would remove that mineral-attribute of the heart,
soften it and then invite the angels to come again.
This could have happened.
However, this is not necessary today either since HDE Gohar Shahi has arrived.
They have brought such a powerful name of God that be it an ethereal spirit or terrestrial spirit, it shall enter all.
But then, once it was said, if no name of God enters the heart, then test the name of Gohar Shahi!
