The Glorious Qur’an which was revealed more than 14 centuries ago emphasized the fact that the human heart is a highly sentient organ with the capacity of feeling, reasoning and decision – making. Such cardiac qualities have only been very recently discovered in later part of the twentieth century and the early part of the twenty-first century. For a book revealed in the seventh century, to an unlettered Prophet, in an unlettered society to spell these facts out in a very precise language is a living testimony to both the divine nature of the book and the correct Prophethood of its recipient.
Qur’anic verses with cardiac connotations The human heart is mentioned in the Glorious Qur’an (132) times, besides several other notions under the term “Fouâad” (or inner heart) (16) times, and under the metaphoric term (chest) which means the heart (44) times.
