The Heart Hardener

Rasulullah Sallallahu alaihi wasallam prohibited loud laughter and said that it kills the heart. Imaam Auzaai Rahmatullah alaih enumerated Qahqahah (loud laughter) among the Kabair (major sins) since the effect is hardening and killing at the spiritual heart. When this occurs, man becomes completely oblivious of the purpose of life on earth. The world becomes his goal and the actual Goal, the Akhirah, becomes irrelevant.
