Sign of Faith

Rasulullah [may peace and blessings of Allah be upon him] once recited the verse: 

"And whoever Allah wishes to guide, He opens his heart to Islam" [Quran 6:125].

He then explained it by saying:

"When faith enters the heart, it opens up."

He was asked, 'O Messenger of Allah! Is there a sign by which this may be recognized?'

And he said:

"Yes. To lose interest in the place of deception, to long for the Place of Eternity

and to prepare for death before it comes."

[Baihaqi]
