And God is knower of all things.
And God is knower of all things.” (64:11) And God said: شهيدوَهُوَ إِنَّ فِي ذَٰلِكَ لَذِكْرَىٰ لِمَن كَانَ لَهُ قَلْبٌ أَوْ أَلْقَى السَّمْعَ “Most surely there is a reminder in this for him who has a heart or he gives ear and is a witness.” (50: 37) Negligence God-Almighty said: وَلَا تُطِعْ مَنْ أَغْفَلْنَا قَلْبَهُ عَن ذِكْرِنَا وَاتَّبَعَ هَوَاهُ “And obey not him whose heart we have made heedless of Our Remembrance, who followeth his own lust.” (18:28) Certainty and Tranquility God-Almighty has said: أَلَا بِذِكْرِ اللَّهِ تَطْمَئِنُّ الْقُلُوبُ “Verily in the remembrance of God do hearts find rest.” (13:28) And said: هُوَ الَّذِي أَنزَلَ السَّكِينَةَ فِي قُلُوبِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ لِيَزْدَادُوا إِيمَانًا “He it is who sent down peace of reassurance into the hearts of the believers that they might add faith unto their faith.” (48:4) Anxiety and Conflict God-Almighty has said: إِنَّمَا يَسْتَأْذِنُكَ الَّذِينَ لَا يُؤْمِنُونَ بِاللَّهِ وَالْيَوْمِ الْآخِرِ وَارْتَابَتْ قُلُوبُهُمْ فَهُمْ فِي رَيْبِهِمْ يَتَرَدَّدُونَ “They alone ask leave of thee who believe not in God and the Last Day, and whose hearts feel doubt, so in their doubt they waver.” (9:45) Blessing and Kindness God-Almighty has said: وَجَعَلْنَا فِي قُلُوبِ الَّذِينَ اتَّبَعُوهُ رَأْفَةً وَرَحْمَةً “And places compassion and mercy in the hearts of those who followed him.” (57:27) And said: هُوَ الَّذِي أَيَّدَكَ بِنَصْرِهِ وَبِالْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَأَلَّفَ بَيْنَ قُلُوبِهِمْ “He it is who supporteth thee with His Help and with the believers.
And (as for the believers) hath attuned their hearts.” (8: 62-63) Hot-temper and Cruelty God-Almighty said: وَلَوْ كُنتَ فَظًّا غَلِيظَ الْقَلْبِ لَانفَضُّوا مِنْ حَوْلِكَ “If thou hadst been stern and fierce of heart they would have dispersed from round about thee.” (3:159) Therefore, heart in the Holy Qur’an has been assigned the most important privileged position, and various psychic tasks have been related to it, namely: faith, blasphemy, hypocrisy, reasoning, understanding, not understanding, acceptance of truth, unacceptance of truth, guidance, deviation, sin, intention, purification, corruption, benevolence, aggravation, love, invocation, negligence, fear, anger, doubt, conflict, mercy, cruelty, regret, assurance, arrogance, jealousy, rebellion, offense, and other similar acts.
Since the pine shaped piece of flesh called heart could not be the origin of these effects, instead these effects are the consequences of human self and spirit.
