A Sinful Heart: Stories of Destructive Love from the Qur’an is a powerful and thought-provoking Islamic book that explores how misguided love—when placed above obedience to Allah—can lead to spiritual ruin. Drawing directly from the Qur’an, this book examines the inner diseases of the heart that destroy faith, character, and one’s relationship with Allah ﷻ.

Allah warns against arrogance, pride, and false attachments, as highlighted in His words:

“Enter the gates of Hell to abide eternally therein, and wretched is the residence of the arrogant.”
(Surah az-Zumar, 39:72)

Through compelling Qur’anic narratives, Shaykh Yahya Ibrahim uncovers the destructive forms of love that led figures such as Firʿawn, Iblis, and others to their downfall—love of power, status, ego, and worldly dominance. These stories reveal how arrogance and misplaced devotion can become nearly irresistible temptations that harden the heart and distance a person from Allah.

Throughout the book, readers are invited to reflect deeply on their own hearts and intentions. The central question posed is both personal and urgent: Do we love in a way that brings us closer to Allah, or in a way that leads us away from Him?

This book is ideal for:

• Readers seeking spiritual self-reflection and heart purification
• Students of Qur’anic studies and Islamic spirituality
• Study circles, lectures, and personal development
• Anyone striving to correct their intentions and strengthen their relationship with Allah ﷻ

A Sinful Heart serves as both a warning and a guide, helping readers recognize destructive emotional attachments and replace them with sincere, Allah-centered love. Rooted in the Qur’an and delivered with clarity and insight, this book is a meaningful resource for anyone seeking true spiritual growth and inner reform.
