Whoever has a sound heart, Allah grants him an insight (by which) he realises sin. To the point, he isn’t at ease nor relaxed with it. This is from the blessings of Allah upon mankind.

Shaykh Muhammad Ibn Salih al Uthaymeen رحمه الله said:

إِنَّـمَا الْمُـؤْمِنُـونَ الَّذِيـنَ إِذَا ذُكِـرَ اللَّهُ وَجِـلَـتْ قُـلُوبُـهُمْ
“The believers are only those who, when Allah is mentioned, feel a fear in their hearts.”
(Qur'an 8:2)
Sufyan ath-Thawri (رحمه الله) narrated that as-Suddi (رحمه الله) commented:
“A man might be thinking of committing injustice or a sin. But he abstains when he is told, ‘Have Taqwa of Allah’, and his heart becomes fearful.”
The quality of a true believer is that when Allah is mentioned, he feels a fear in his heart, and thus implements His orders and abstains from His prohibitions.
[تفسير ابن كثير ٨ : ٢]
Whoever persists in gratitude, blessings will continuously come to him.
And whoever persists in seeking forgiveness, closed doors will be opened for him.
