The Heart Scale: Rate Your Soul Daily (1‑10) | Islamic Self‑Audit
“Only those bringing a sound heart to Allah will succeed.”
— Qur’an 26:89
Allah judges your heart—not your wealth or looks .
Use the Heart Scale to perform muḥāsabah (self‑accountability) every day and track your spiritual health.
Why a Daily Heart Audit Transforms You
- Divine Accountability Made Practical
Stop abstract guilt—start concrete action. By scoring yourself, you build awareness and create a roadmap for inner purification.
- Track Progress Over Time
Use your phone’s notes app or a journal to record daily scores. Notice trends, celebrate improvements, and address patterns.
- Anchored in Sunnah
The Prophet ﷺ said: “Allah does not look at your bodies or your wealth—but He looks at your hearts and your deeds.”
— Ṣaḥīḥ Muslim
Daily Rate Yourself:
✅ SINCERITY (1–10)
“Did I show off today?”
- Scoring Tip: Subtract 2 points if you caught yourself seeking others’ praise (riya’).
- Purification Action: Hide good deeds; always attribute success to Allāh.
✅ COMPASSION (1–10)
“Did I judge without excuse?”
- Scoring Tip: Subtract 3 points for harsh judgments (qasd al‑qalb).
- Purification Action: Pray for others’ ease and assume the best intentions (ḥusn al‑ẓann).
✅ GRATITUDE (1–10)
“Did I complain about blessings?”
- Scoring Tip: Subtract 5 points if you lamented any favor from Allāh (kufr al‑ni‘mah).
