Illuminate The Heart

Worship and obedience illuminate the heart and make it strong and steadfast, until it becomes like a clear mirror, shining with light.
When Shaytaan draws close, he is struck by its light like those who try to eavesdrop [in the heavens] are struck by the shooting stars, and Shaytaan flees from this heart with more terror than a wolf fleeing from a lion." ibn al-qayyim, Al-Jawaab al-Kaafi

    Fourthly: Memorizing.
    Fifthly: Teaching.
    Sixthly: and it is its fruit: Acting upon the knowledge and keeping to its limits.
