In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
Have they not traveled through the
land, and have they
hearts wherewith to understand
and ears wherewith to hear? Verily, it
is not the eyes that grow blind
but it is the hearts which are in the
breasts that grow blind.
This research offers a scientific vision for the heart which agree with the descended Qur’an
fourteen century ago
The Day whereon neither wealth nor sons will avail, Except him who
brings to Allah a clean heart {clean from polytheism and hypocrisy }
(Sûrat Ash-Shuarâ- verse 88-89)
What is the objective of this research?
- God mentioned the heart more than hundred times in Qur’an which
refers
to the importance of this organ.
- Your health is measured by the health of your heart.
- When heart is stopped , it means your life was ended.
- If heart is in a good condition, it means all the body in a good condition
and if it is in a bad condition the entire body is in a bad condition , so
heart determines your fate.
- O My dear, don’t read this research just for information but it is very
important for all of us in this world and in the hereafter.
Introduction…..
HEART
What is the new in this research
This research is based on more than 70 scientific
references
This research offers a new vision for human heart , for many years
scientists studied heart from the physiological side and they considered
it only a blood pumping machine no more no less, but starting from the
twenty one century and because of the high development in heart
transplantation and artificial heart surgeries , researchers started to
notice a strange and vague phenomenon which is a change in the
patient's psychological status after heart transplantation !!
Heart…
Affects our psychology
Heart has a vital role in human psychology!
we are going to review the latest
scientific researches about this
phenomenon . This phenomenon is the change in psychology
of the patient who exchanged his natural heart with an artificial
one as he face a serious psychological changes in what he
loves and what he hate and also in his beliefs.
Heart and the embryo!!
Heart is created before brain , and
it starts to pulse from its first day
till death.
The heart start its mission since you are an embryo (21 days after
start of pregnancy) to pumping blood to the entire body, when you
are adult your heart can pump more than seventy thousand liter of
blood every day. When you reach the age of seventy, the total
pumped amount of blood would be more than million barrel during
these years.
Heart…
Is more than a blood pumping
machine!
Heart can remember, feel
and send orders to all
organs of the body.
Heart contains a sophisticated
network of neurons and it secrete
hormones that control the entire body, it can remember ,feel and control
emotions as each heart strike transmits messages to brain and all organs of
the body , these messages are no more than electromagnetic signals , heart
performance and its signals change according to the emotional status of heart.
Does your heart sense your emotional state? www.msnbc.msn.com, Jan. 26, 2006.
Surprise:
Hearts think and understand !
Many researches confirm
that heart controls the
entire body not only brain
Many researchers believe that heart leads brain and each heart cell
has a memory!! DR. “Schwartz” say that our history is written
inside each cell in our body , also many researchers believe that
heart cells store information.
University of Hawaii.
Heart mechanism
Human heart pumps
blood through a network
of blood vessels . Its
length is up to100000
kilometer!!
Heart provides all cells of our body
with oxygen, as cells picks up
oxygen to burn it to feed itself, and
then it throw carbon gas and
poisoned materials in blood as
heart pumps it again toward the
lungs which purify blood and throw
carbon gas during the breathing
process (inhalation and exhalation).
length of the vascular network in
our body is about one hundred
thousand kilometer.
The relation…
Between heart and brain
Only from thirty years,
researchers started to
notice the relation between
brain and heart when they
noticed that heart has a
vital role in understanding the surrounded world and they
had found that heart can affect the electrical activity of
brain.
Paul Pearsall, Gary E. Schwartz, Linda G. Russek, Organ Transplants and
Cellular Memories, Nexus Magazine, April - May 2005.
The neural system
of the heart
Lately , scientists
discovered secrets
of the neural system
of the heart.
Dr.” Armour” say that
Heart has a special system in processing incoming information from
entire body and the success of any heart transplantation surgery
depends on the neural system of the transplanted heart and how much it
is able to adapt with the patient.
Science of the heart, Institute of HeartMath
Memory…..
is not only in brain
Prof “Gary Schwartz” specialist in
Psychiatry in Arizona University
and Prof Linda Russek believe that
heart has a special power which
enables it to store and process
information. Therefore memory is
Brain
not only in brain but also in heart.
Prof Gary made a research which included more than three hundred
patient who performed transplantation surgery and he found that all
patients were exposed to many psychological changes after the
surgery.
Linda Marks, THE POWER OF THE HEART.
Heart…….
And sentiment of the mother
Prof Gary Schwartz says: we
performed a heart
transplantation surgery for an ill child as we implanted heart of a dead
child in the body of the ill one. Mother of the dead child says: every time I
huge the child I feel as if my child is still alive and that child is my own
one.
Pearsall P, Schwartz GE, Russek LG, Changes in heart transplant recipients that
parallel the personalities of their donors, School of Nursing, University of Hawaii.
Heart…. and feelings
People who implanted
artificial hearts had lost their
feeling with love and
sentiments
An interesting discovery that is all people who changed their hearts
with an artificial one had lost their feelings and their ability to love. In
11/8/2007, the American newspaper "Washington post" published
reportage about Peter Houghton who performed an artificial heart
transplant surgery. He says: my feelings had changed, I am not able
to know what I hate and what I love even I don't have feelings toward
any of my grandchild.
Washington Post, 11/8/2007
Scientists admit….
That they didn’t study heart
enough
Till this moment, scientists don't understand this phenomenon and
the secret behind that psychological change. Prof Arthur Caplan
Head of Medical Ethics at University of Pennsylvania says:
’’ scientists used to deal with human body as if it is a machine and
we never gave any attention to the relation between feelings and
organs of our body.”
A brain in the heart
Heart contains
40000
neuron
Heart pulses rate is
changing according to
the psychological and emotional status of us. DR J. Andrew Armour
confirm that there is a very complicated brain inside the heart. In our
heart there are more than forty thousand neuron which works in an
extraordinary precision to control heart pulses, hormone production
and information storing. then this information are sent to brain. This
information plays a vital role in realizing and understanding.
Science of the heart, Institute of HeartMath
Heart…
directs brain’s neurons
Incoming information from heart
Researchers confirm that
information flows from
heart to inside brain through special paths, as these information leads
brain cells to be able to understand and realize , nowadays scientists
are working to establish many centers concerned about studying
relationship between heart and brain and the relation between heart
and cognitive and psychological operations.
www.heartmath.org
The Heart’s code
After many researches, DR “Paul Pearsall”
say : “heart can feel and remember and
it transmit vibrations to communicate with
other hearts, also it helps in organizing
immunity of the body. also it transmit
information in each pulse to the entire
body “ therefore some researchers have got a question , is it possible
for memory to stay deep inside our hearts? in his book ‘the heart’s code’
Dr Paul says:" when you suddenly feel with anything or when you feel
happy or sad , you put your hand on your breast without feeling ”
The Heart's Code, 1999.
Heart ……
Transmits information to brain
Heart
Today, researches confirm that
heart with its organized
harmony controls the entire
body as it considered to be a
method to linking all cells, when blood goes into each cell then it feed
these cells not only with oxygen but also with information.
Institute of HeartMath.
The electrical field of
heart
HEART
In heart math institute they
found that heart has a very
strong electrical field
which affects all
surrounding people. Therefore human can communicate with others
only with his heart without talking. !! Also they found a relation
between number of heart pulses and the transmitted waves from brain
(Alfa waves). The more heart pulses the more transmitted waves from
brain.
Science of the heart, Institute of HeartMath.
Heart ..
Affects other hearts
The heart math institute had
performed many experiments to
prove that heart transmit
electromagnetic vibrations
which affect brain. So heart may
affect the realizing and the
understanding of human, also they found that heart transmit a very
strong electrical field which controls the entire body.
Science of the heart, Institute of HeartMath.
Heart…and realization
Heart performance changes during
receiving of information ,which prove that
heart has a vital role in realization , also it
prove that healthy hearts leads to more
understanding !!
Rollin McCraty and Mike Atkinson had made
a research which was published in the
annual meeting of the Pavlovian Society.
They found that there is a relation between
heart and realization. They proved this relation by measuring the
electromagnetic activity of heart and brain when people are trying to
understand something. They found that when heart performance is in
a low level, realizing also will be low.
Rollin McCraty, The Scientific Role of the Heart in Learning and Performance.
Heart…..
affects brain of the
other people
www.heartmath.org
The results of the Institute of
Heart Math was marvelous .they
found that when you speak or
touch another person, changes
in your heart will affect the brain activities of the other person!! This
means that your heart affects his brain.
Also, researchers confirm that the heart affected by nice words so that
pulses rate changes also the electromagnetic field of the heart.
Science of the heart, Institute of HeartMath.

A new story….
To prove that heart is the center of belief
One day a woman married a man and after
couple of years and due to his atheism, he
committed suicide by a gun to end his life.
doctors found that his heart is in a good
condition so they decided to implant it in
a body of an ill man who used to a
believer. by coincidence , that man met the widow of the dead man
(who committed suicide), when he saw her he felt as if he knows her
from a long time , and he told her that he is in love with her and he
can't live without her. But the surprise is that the believer man
became atheist till he decided to suicide by a gun. He shot himself
in head and he died by the same way as the atheist man did!!
Explanation is very simple, the realization and thinking center is in
heart not brain.
Daily Mail, 10/4/2008
Holy Qur'an…..
and cardiology
Did Qur'an precede west
scientists?
The holy Qur’an told us about some facts in cardiology , these facts
were undiscovered till the twenty one century . Current researches
expose many facts about miracles in Qur’an to be a clear reply on
skeptics who believe that Qur’an is a human made.
They have hearts wherewith
they understand not
Qur’an confirms that ….
heart is a way to understanding
1.Heart is a thinking method.
2.Eye is a sight method.
3.Ear is a hearing method.
god be blessed and exalted says:
( And surely, we have created many of the jinn and mankind for Hell.
They have hearts wherewith they understand not,
and they have eyes wherewith they see not,
and they have ears wherewith they hear not (the truth).
They are like cattle, nay even more astray; those! They are the heedless
ones ) (Sûrat Al-Arâf - verse 179).
Qur’an refers to …..
Heart’s role in realization
Today , scientists tell
us about a brain in the
heart which consists of
40000 neuron and it leads the brain in its missions , so our god
created heart as a method of understanding , god says:( Have they
not traveled through the land, and have they hearts wherewith to
understand and ears wherewith to hear? Verily, it is not the eyes that
grow blind, but it is the hearts which are in the breasts that grow
blind.) ( Sûrat Al-Hajj – verse46).
Also, scientists tell us
Heart ……
about the vital role of the
Has a vital role in realization
heart in understanding
and realizing , god says:
(They have hearts
wherewith they
understand not) ( Sûrat AlA‘râf - verse 179),
so Qur'an
told us about heart as a
realization center in
human body.
Heart….
Between hardness and softness
Can we precede western
scientists in discovering
characteristics of heart from the
holy Qur’an?
Most people who implanted an artificial heart feel that their heart
became solid with no feeling or love inside, god says to Jews :( Then,
after that, your hearts were hardened and became as stones or even
worse in hardness) ( Sûrat Al-Baqarah- verse 74) .Qur'an told us about two
features of our heart which are hardness and softness, so god says
about disbelievers :( So woe to those whose hearts are hardened
against remembrance of Allah! They are in plain error) (Sûrat Az-Zumar verse 22) ,but on the other hand god says about believers :( Then their
skin and their heart soften to the remembrance of Allah) ( Sûrat AzZumar - verse 23) .
Qur’an refers to …. Heart memory
Scientists
confirm that each
cell in our heart is
considered to be a warehouse for events and information .so
scientists tell us about memory of the heart, god be he blessed and
exalted told us that everything is in heart. God says :( but that Allah
might test what is in your breasts; and to examine closely which was
in your hearts (sins), and Allah is All-Knower of what is in (your)
breasts.) ( Sûrat Âl‘Imrân – verse 154).
Heart ….
And learning
Neurons in the heart stores information!
According to the most recent researches, heart has an important role
in learning because it leads and control brain's neurons. Qur'an linked
between heart and learning. God says: ( and Allah has sealed up their
hearts (from all kinds of goodness and right guidance) so that they
know not (what they are losing).) ( Sûrat At-Taubah -
verse 93)
Heart … And lying
Qur’an determines lying area
and truth area
Now , it is confirmed that
laying center is in the forelock
which is in the upper front of
brain, scientists observed a great activity in this area when man tell lies ,
but the stored information in heart is real and sincere, so when a man
tell lies he speaks by his tongue with what is not in his heart . God says:
( They say with their tongues what is not in their hearts) (Sûrat Al-Fath verse 11)
. Tongue obeys the forelock, god says about this forelock :( A
lying, sinful forelock) (Sûrat Al-‘Alaq – verse 16).
Heart…. and belief
Many stories confirm that anyone
use an artificial heart may lose his
belief in god , which confirm that
belief is in heart not brain ,also Qur’an referred to heart’s role in
human belief in saying :(O Messenger let not those who hurry to fall
into disbelief grieve you, of such who say: "We believe" with their
mouths but their hearts have no faith ) (Sûrat Al-Mâ’idah-verse 41 ) also god
confirm on heart’s role in directing people to the Straight Way :(and
whosoever believes in Allah, He guides his heart to the true Faith And
Allah is the All-Knower of everything.) (Sûrat At-Taghâbun – verse 11)
Heart…. and Fear
After many researches on
the artificial heart, scientists
had found that heart has a vital
role in fear and scare , as when
they asked the man who
implanted an artificial heart ,
he told them that he became not
able to feel with fear , the Qur'an told us about hearts that feel with fear,
god says :( The believers are only those who, when Allah is mentioned,
feel a fear in their hearts and when His Verses (this Qur'an) are recited
unto them, they (i.e. the Verses) increase their Faith; and they put their
trust in their Lord (Alone)) ( Sûrat Al-Anfâl -
verse 2)
also god says : (and He
cast terror into their hearts) ( Sûrat Al-Hashr- verse2).
The prophetic
Miracle
Prophet Mohamed (peace
be upon him) had
preceded all western
scientists when he told us
fourteen century ago about
heart and its importance for the entire body and for the soul , therefore
if heart is in a good condition and good relation with god the entire
body would be in a good condition . That is confirmed when we review
case of the man who implanted the artificial heart and how much his
body and feeling were destroyed , the prophet said : ( in the body there
is a little lump of flesh if it is in a good condition the entire body will be
good and if it is in a bad condition the entire body will be bad , this
little lump of flesh is heart).
Breast Memory
Scientists identified
Many changes after
performing heart or
lung change operation . We know that human’s breast contains heart and
lung , We can conclude that what inside breast is responsible for
memory.
God says: (but that Allah might test what is in your breasts; and to purify
that which was in your hearts (sins), and Allah is All-Knower of what is in
(your) breasts.) (Sûrat Âl-Imrân – verse 154)
.
Qur’an refers to …
role of the breast in storing
information
Scientists found a profound changes in personality of patients after
lung implantation surgery. Qur’an referred to role of the breast in
storing information, god says: (And whether you keep your talk
secret or disclose it, Verily, He is the All-Knower of what is in the
breasts (of men) ) (Sûrat Al-Mulk – verse 13). researchers confirm (see
attached references ) that heart and lung cells (what is inside breast )
store information .
Verily, in the remembrance of Allah
do hearts find rest
Heart stability
By experiment ,they found that
listening to Qur’an heals heart
disturbance and remove
psychological tension.
Scientists confirm that the first
reason of death is the
disturbance in heart mechanism
and the best treatment is to keep heart stable, also it was proved that
some sound frequencies may affect performance of heart .is there a
better than the sound of Qur'an ? God says: ( Those who believed (in
the Oneness of Allah), and whose hearts find rest in the remembrance
of Allah: verily, in the remembrance of Allah do hearts find rest) ( Sûrat
Ar-Ra‘d – verse 28).
Indeed, reading this verse leads to a big rest and
stability in heart.
The results
1. Heart is not only a pumping machine , it stores information and
distribute orders to entire body and it controls brain , so heart is
dominating the entire body.
2. Heart has a vital role in understanding , god speaks to atheists
and skeptics saying: (They have hearts wherewith they understand
not).
3. In many verses Qur’an mentioned that heart has an important role
in learning, love, hate and fear.
4. western doctors haven’t realize all these facts because of the
great difficulty of that kind of researches . So , we hope that
Muslim scientists do some efforts concerning heart as they may
get treatment of some incurable diseases.
