The human heart, an astounding and outstanding object for the control of all body virually and apparently. It is considered as having the highest rank inside body in contemporary to other parts or organs. The entire world is agreed to this philosophical point over giving the heart a title of "King of Body" irrespective of people with a huge differentiation in caste, creed, race, belief, geography or even having distinct symmetry in political, economical, social, traditional thoughts and have a unanimous affinity over the subject in analysis.
Going prematurely in contention, lets have a glance both over the virual and real concepts of heart.
The day since i got the sense of realizing facts and figures, gradually it is being incorporated by my nearer mates and through external factors of society that "we think by heart by making decisions, our humanely and wild nature is by heart, we make bonds of relationships for centuries with love, care and safeguard similarly we shrink or tend to break it with hate, disputes, quarrels even for milleniums, we show wishes, respect, drives, identification are all are presumably by heart.
Our day to day interaction through proverbs are concensusly and harmoniously common even among diversified cultures over the subject of heart, as let me give you an example proverb carrying the same meaning from three different languages:
1. (English) Love begets love
2. (Urdu) دل کو دل سے راہ ہوتی ھے
3. (Pashto) زڑہ پر زڑہ دئ
So this clearly defines as each inhabitant no matter live in either part of globe have the same interpretation of heart as do we.
Moving ahead, our poetical vision is totally dependent on the beam and current rise in hearts to shake the world through charismatic words and it also touches the internal world (heart) of another being too. We write down heart touching stories and sometimes guise it by producing unforgettable movies that give an alluring lesson experience back in real life by touching the gravity of heart.
In short we have aligned everything in a relation to heart, as we are of the view that heartly generated deeds will give an edge to get an highest state of piousness that eventually take a man to "عرش" or get them a rank of super human in worlds of heaven after reincarnated on the day of resurrection while in adverse to that, it will rust and conflagrat down the man in the combustion of hell. Last but not the least we assumed to have wishes of having virgins, "ghalmans", streams of honey, alcohols, milk and dreamt of lush green vallies with water falls from cliffs and an essence of intoxicating fragrances in paradise to tranquilize and appease down our feelings in heart.
Coming on to the factual and and down to earth meaning of heart. Well guys, my little knowledge about heart in medical perspective, heart is what we see through naked eyes that a piece of flesh having beats. Let me briefly elaborate the heart's physiology (my medical friends are requested to rectify my mistake, if committed any). To move ahead with structure and function, a heart is a cone shaped ranging a weight from 245 to 345 grams, bright red in color situated in the middle mediastinum behind the breastbone in the chest. There are two atriums and two ventricles pumping in and out the oxy and deoxygenated blood from and to lung through arteries and veins to and from entire body. In short what i actually want to induce you over the physiological meaning of heart is that its only a pumping organ, nothing more than that.
Here now begins the biggest and challenging controversy in understanding the matter of feelings and sentiments is never related to heart as medically heart is not supposed accomplish the tasks of brain. GOD has created brain in human skull and linked all related phenomenas of memory, perception, feelings, drives, sentiments, controlling the complete functionalities of organs (However the world of brain will be discussed some day later as it is even much more interesting to know). So scientifically one can not prove a heart by any mean to have connection with feelings, reflex, excitement, sensibility, pleasure or sensuality.
Lets come to Islamic point of view over heart, you all are well aware of word "قلب" both in Quran and Hadith. Quran says, "GOD knows the condition, mood and affair of your heart more better than you" and "The hearts get the absolute reliance and quiescence through citation and remembrance of GOD" and in so many other verses, similarly in one Hadith book, "There is an organ (heart) inside your body, if it was well by all manners so obviously the whole body will be neat, commendable and precious while contrarily if it was bad so entire body will be cheap, abominable, inferior or even a garbage". This means that Islam has used word "قلب" / heart as in litrary meaning of getting or understanding something. For this reason i remained puzzled and ambiguous for very long time as none has cleared my blurred image but one day i was watching Dr. Zakir Naik (who by himself is a medical professional) decoded my unsolved querry by stating "قلب" has two meanings, literally it means as physical heart that exists inside the chest but Quran and Hadith psychologically refers it to a specific part in the brain that also means "قلب". After getting it i got a sigh of relief and invent an idea that Quran is a book of revolution whereas we have confined and restricted it to salutation and endearment.
Lastly it has been perceived through all above that we should study more rather by going on literal and ordinary meaning of anything.
Let me THANKYOU with open HEART for your precious time by reading it.
#Peace and #Mercy be upon all of you.
and
#Happy #Eid_ul_Fitr in advance.
