Dua to purify the Heart
DUA TO PURIFY THE HEART
Allah has commanded us to be just and kind to all people.
Allah has bestowed upon us His immense grace and yet some of us harbor ill-feelings towards others, which is openly expressed by harming others, which is a sin.

And those who harm the believing men and the believing women without reason, have sinned and displeased Allah.
This is a denial of Allah's mercy, and it is difficult for these people to follow the right path shown by Allah because they are unable to overcome the malice in their hearts.
And even Allah does not accept the prayers of such people.
"Allah does not like speaking evil publicly unless one has been wronged. Allah is All-Hearing, All-Knowing."
[Surah An-Nisa 148]
Only Allah can help them get out of it if they repent sincerely.

The following dua to purify the heart should be recited after every Salat:
رَبَّنَا اغْفِرْ لَنَا وَلِإِخْوَانِنَا الَّذِينَ سَبَقُونَا بِالْإِيمَانِ وَلَا تَجْعَلْ فِي قُلُوبِنَا غِلًّا لِّلَّذِينَ آمَنُوا رَبَّنَا إِنَّكَ رَءُوفٌ رَّحِيم
Rabbanaghfir Lana Wa Li Ikhwanina Allazina Sabaquna Bil Imaan Wa la Taj' Al Fee Qulubina Ghillan lillazina Amanu Rabbana Innaka Raufur Raheem
[Surah Hashr 10]
Our Lord! Forgive us and our brethren who have preceded us in Faith, and put not in our hearts any hatred against those who have believed. Our Lord! You are indeed full of Kindness, Most Merciful.
Apart from reciting the above dua, one should also do the following to purify the heart from ill-feelings:
1. Hazrat Ayesha (r.a) narrated : "Prophet Muhammad (saw) used to accept gifts and give something in return."
Exchanging gifts with each other creates warm feelings and also removes anger between them.
2. Al-Bara (r.a) reported: Prophet Muhammad (saw) said: "No two Muslims meet and shake hands except that their sins are forgiven before they part (from each other)."
One should forgive and greet him with Salam, and shake hands.
3. Pray for that person and appreciate him/her when he/she is not around.
4. Stay in touch with him and be patient with him because in most cases the other person needs time to recover from his bad feelings.
5. Astaghfar should be recited more often.
