(source: http://www.gulf-times.com/1999/06/10/islam.htm#Has your heart)

Abu Ishaaq Ibrahim (RA) was once passing through a bazaar in Basrah when he was asked: "O Abu Ishaaq, verily Allah has declared ask me and I will grant you your requests, Why is that when we ask He does not grant?" Abu Ishaaq replied: "It's because your hearts have become dead, and it's due to ten reasons;

1 You have known who God is; yet have not fulfilled your duties.

2 You have read the Qur'an; yet have not practised upon it.

3 You have proclaimed the love of Messenger; yet you have not followed his traditions (sunnah).

4 You have declared that Shaytans (evils) are your enemies, yet you have stood with him.

5 You have declared your desire for the paradise, yet you have done nothing to achieve it.

6 You have declared your fear for Hell, yet you have done nothing to escape it.

7 You have proclaimed that there is no escape from death, yet you do not prepare for it.

8 You have indulged in searching the faults of others yet, you have not looked for your own faults.

9 You have enjoyed all the blessings and bounties, yet you do not give him due praise for it.

10 You have buried your dead but you have taken no lesson from it.
