    Peace Good logic,

    Our emotions not only effects on our cardiovascular system, but other systems like digestive sysyem , urinary system and etc, and all of this are because our nervous system, if you want to know more about this, go study sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous system from reliable Physiology sources, not from unreliable sources from internet and etc,

    God bless you

      Yes , I am aware of you say.
      There is more to the connection of heart and brain than what we know as humans.
      And more to come from science.
      GOD less you.

        Yes brother, but it doesnt means that human thinks with their heart, its an ancient belief from the humans whom hadnt knowledge of biology, and i dont think that the quran says this… if it says it means that quran is wrong… but i think its the wrong understanding of quran, i hope some people with the knowledge in arabic help me in this topic
        And if the heart was center of thinking/emotions etc, the people with Mechanical heart would look like this

          Peace jkhan, by respect, All the actions you attributed to the heart is the function of Brain/different parts of Brain

          And u said Have they finalized that brain is the only organ that can perceive things

          Idk, 99.9% yes, but they 100% finalized that heart cant pereceige anything

          If you move heart of a rude person to a kind person, the kind person wouldnt be rude, and if you insert a mechanical heart into someone chest, he wont lose his emotions, cuz its limbic system is a part of body that is the center of emotions.

          Peace..
          Thank you..
          You are instant as usual.. And it seems you have decided based on bits and pieces..
          Let me speak from the side of God believer.. If God doesn't know which organ works for what function, then who will better..?
          When I researched about functions of brain 10 years before what I get is brain is not the mother of human body.. It's heart for me.. Brain mainly deals with commanding for movement of every other organ while it is the storage.. Brain has various functions as we all know..
          But whatever I explained in my precious reply heart only does...

          When it comes to heart transplant be it natural or artificial it works for very short limited time.. Artificial is hardly nothing.. Yes when a heart of another person is transplanted he may react differently.. Coz it is not his own heart by which he was perceiving and making decisions.. No one knows what is in the hearts of people so even after transplanted we are not in a position to judge it... That's waste of time...
          Further don't discard the fact that brain and heart are two organs well connected each other..
          When someone is transplanted wuth sheer artificial heart it may only help for pumping blood if it works to certain extent. But unfortunately heart's function is not only to pump blood it is in fact the core of body.. Human is nothing without being able to make decisions on his own.. That is done by heart only.. Of course brain is connected..
          Do you see strangely brain is missing in Quran for almost all instances where brain could be used since people of all time thought that brain is used for knowledge and thing.. Why they call brainless? So it was also in practice in Arabic.. But In Quran it was avoided.. For everything heart...
          Modern science is definitely in the hunt for reality in this case.. There us nothing to hide here like earth is stationary or spinning...
          But modern science definitely got it wrong if they say only function f heart is to pump blood.. You can't prove that literally..
          It is up to a person to immerse in modern science and go in line with it and leave God.. But he will feel shameful if science revert its decision... Science never ends and it always keep changing.. Coz science is from various people of various eras and not from one ...
          QURANs verses are clear and not ambiguous.. Heart has all the functions.. Even I think heart has temporary memory.. Let's byheart that.. Lol.
          Mother and heart is compared in Quran with a reason.. Heart is mother of body for sure..

          I forgot to include the important verse..
          7179 "... They have hearts with which they do not understand, they have eyes with which they do not see, and they have ears with which they do not hear. ...."
          No professor can deny this.. Quran without any ambiguity explained the function of three organs.. That's it.. Believe in Quran or believe in science.. All up to individuals..

                Don't rush toddler... Walk first before sprint...

                While denying God's verses you can't still believe in God..
                Truth is bitter tasted.. Accept humiliations infront of public if you want to be a true believer... Coz God's truth is not accepted by majority.. So be ready to be mocked...

                Keep waiting.. We will also wait... Truth is not meant for hidden forever.. God will expose... If you are right in that day mock at me.. That's worthy.. Now it is too early boy.. You have no evidence. You are just sitting on the shade of science..
                Enjoy... Right time will tell you earth is stationary or spinning.. Or heart is perceiving OR not...
                I don't blame your reaction.. It is the period thst you go through... With the time you will learn many more... Take care... No grudges.. Coz it is not your fault.. Coz guidance not yet reached you.

                  I knew one would bring this also...
                  Yes.. Don't deny the functions of brain also... 7179 is more than enough to judge what heart can do...
                  Go in line with Quran and don't go in line with science.. It won't take you nowhere..

                      Peace, its not about what majority says, its all about evidence , and proven science, not theory, One can believe in God and not accept quran, thats why jews and christians who have 3 parameters will not be sad according to what Quran says, and remember brother if a book says something opposite to whats proven science says,its the error of the book, not proven science , cuz creator of this science for sure, 100% is God, but humans can write a book too, but i insist that its poor understanding/translation

                      Because of the Mercy and help of God, im Medical student, so its not about blindly following what others says, if you doubt about that heart thinks or not,stop making funny theories and study science, i dont say that blindly follow what A,B,C says, just study yourself.

                        Peace be upon you

                        I'm already reading the whole paragraph together. And the Qur'an says that the thinking organ is the brain.

                        When you read the verses together, this picture emerges. I also have a Turkish article about it.

                        The thinking organ is the brain, according to God.

                        Peace

                            Peace Mahdi20, your position breaks my brain heart.

                            Whoever is an enemy to Gabriel-for he brings down to thy heart by Allah's will,
                            a confirmation of what went before, and guidance and glad tidings for those who believe,-

                            When one hears some good news, do they experience joy in their brains or in their hearts? hmm
                            When one hears some bad news or hears of a loved ones death, does one feel pain in ones brains
                            or does one feel pain in their hearts?
                            When one loves someone, does one love someone with their brains or from their hearts? hmm
                            When one sends a message of love to someone, does one send the portrait of a brain or a heart?
                            When one is betrayed, does one feel or say that the person has broken my brain or he/she has
                            broken my heart?
                            When one memorizes something, does one say that I have memorized it by my brain or does one
                            say I have memorized it by heart? hmm

                            Therefore whomsoever Allah intends that He would guide him aright, He expands his
                            breast for Islam, and (for) whomsoever He intends that He should cause him to err, He makes his
                            breast strait and narrow as though he were ascending upwards; thus does Allah lay uncleanness
                            on those who do not believe.

                            peace

                              Peace hawk, i know what you want to say, you want to say its a metaphor and simile?

                              This would be true if those things wasnt there, as jkhan said, in so many place qalb came with eyes and ears, which they arent metaphors, it doesnt make sense that 1/3 of these are metaphors in this verse

                              Also in 2246, in addition to thing that i mentioned above, it says that qalbs which are in sadrs(chests?) , it cant be metaphor, or simile, cuz it says فی الصدور , it talks about the location…also in verse about embryology it says that God gave you hearing, seeing and fawad, it cant be metaphor .

                              And also origin of all of the experssions you mentioned above is because of the ancient belief that humans think with their hearts.when i say this experssions, the person that i talk with knows that i know that we think with our brain, but in quran the word for brain=دماغ isnt even mentioned,

                              Peace

                                I understand you in this manner.. You say God does exist and still you can be a believer and achieve success hereafter by rejecting all books that claim to be from God..
                                For example 7179 is clear.. Three organs and their main functions are clarified.. But for you based on science heart doesn't do the duty of understanding /perceiving.. So this book cannot be from God the creator but human invention or it is interpreted wrong.. It is not interpreted wrong but it is manifest..
                                One can be a Muslim without a God revealed book.. But one cannot maintain faith and become a believer a d muththakun without God's direct guidance.. Guidance through messengers that is to say without God's explanation literally..
                                One should know what happens if I do this and what happens if I avoid this.. All these explanations are in God's book then only a muslim cultivate himself to the level of believer and beyond..
                                But you say these books are lies.. Are you or not ?
                                So for a second let me come in your path.. Okay I believe in God like you believe.. So we are submitters.. Okay dude.. Cool..
                                What happens to me after death? Do you speculate OR you have your own senses..
                                Let me put differently.. I want to marry 10 women... Would you pls advise me what to do without book.. Is it okay if I do so? Is it our own wish or need to obey God.. If so how without a book?
                                So what is the gauranttee being good will take me to a place which is pleasant after death.. So I can live as my mind wishes and still expect some superior power would accept my behaviour.. Why believe in a superior power in the first place if that superior power failed to give the guidance in clear cut way..

                                Your philosophy is erroneous and cannot be applicable dude..
                                Just accept the book.. Scientists are human and they have not proved anything with clarity that brain is the reason for one to cry..
                                One challenged me recently Education can change the world.. No way.. Education merely cabnot change but heart should develop to become a human being..
                                Take it or leave.. Your way will not take you anywhere but loss..

                                  I'm already reading the whole paragraph together. And the Qur'an says that the thinking organ is the brain.

                                  When you read the verses together, this picture emerges. I also have a Turkish article about it.

                                  The thinking organ is the brain, according to God.

                                  Peace

                                  Yes, when we read the paragraph in its entirety, we clearly see that the thinking organ is the brain. The Qur'an clearly states this.

                                  But it also refers to the heart, all organs, even all our cells and even inanimate objects. The mind is concentrated in the densest brain, but in general, there is consciousness in all our cells and even in the entire universe. Even the universes created by Allah are like living organisms.

                                  Peace

                                    Peace jkhan, knowing of Good and Evil are in our genetic code, even quran agree with this right?i think its in surah al-shams, religious books and moral books are just a reminder, there are so many atheists who do good works/ charity why they do this? Cuz its in our genetics. There are so many animals which sacrifice their livesfor saving others, why they are doing this? Cuz according to their genetics they know that saving other lifes are good jobs, and we are no more than upgraded version of this animals, we are all result of an single cell mitosis, read chapter 4 verse 1 .

                                    Peace emre

                                    U said there is consciousness in all our cells and even in the entire universe

                                    Wrong, unless you explain consciousness by another way that we usually explain, nobody think(تعقل) by his/her liver, nor by his hand, nor by his heart,

                                    Still not mentioning of word BRAIN/دماغ/مخ in quran(unless you translate qalb as brain) , the verse you mentioned arent referring to brain, look at the interpretations of un-modern books, the explanaition you provided are a modern one which is after knowing the function if brain/frontal lobe, for more details Go read muhammad asad explaination of this verse by arabs language, which isnt reffering to frontal lobe of course.

                                    Peace

                                      No, the verses clearly refer to the brain organ. What is it to you and what is it to me from other people's statements?

                                      Just read the Quran and study it yourself.

                                      The Qur'an speaks clearly and clearly about the brain organ. Let only the Quran be your source.

                                      Read the paragraph in its entirety.

                                      Peace

                                        Peace, maybe its the problem of the translation i use,

                                        Even if it says the frontal lobe, it doesnt solve my problem, my problem is why Quran says heart thinks

                                          There are some researchers that believe there is a two way connection between the heart and the brain and the human heart has a mind of its own. And these connections are not based on theories, but actual scientific experiments.

                                          But in order to have a mind we have to be able to think, and for that we need neurons. It was once thought that the only organ in the human body to have neurons was the brain, but now we know this is not true.

                                          We assume that the brain is controlling our emotions, but Professor David Paterson, Ph.D. at Oxford University, disputes this. He says that the brain is not the only organ that produces emotions. This is because the heart actually contains neurons similar to those in the brain, and these fire in conjunction with the brain. The heart and the brain are therefore connected

                                          When your heart receives signals from the brain via the sympathetic nerves, it pumps faster. And when it receives signals through the parasympathetic nerves, it slows down,

                                          says Paterson.

                                          Neurons are associated with thought processes in the brain, but highly specialized ones have been found situated on the right ventricle surface of the heart. It begs the question, what are thought process neurons doing in an organ that pushes blood around our body?

                                          These heart neurons can think for themselves.
                                          In an experiment, a piece of right ventricle from a rabbit, where these specialized neurons have been found, is placed in a tank with oxygen and nutrients. The piece of heart manages to beat on its own, despite being unattached, suspended and having no blood flowing through it. When Professor Paterson shocks the heart tissue it immediately slows down this beating. Professor Paterson believes that is a direct decision made by the neurons as they respond to the impulse.
                                          The heart also affects your mind
                                          n a final test in the film, Someone looks at images, some neutral and some frightened. Some are synced in time to his heartbeat, and others are not. The results revealed that when he saw the frightened images in sync with his heartbeat he perceived them as being ‘more intensely frightened’ than when he saw them out of sync.

                                          This would suggest that his heartbeat is affecting his mind, and processed a greater reaction in connection with the images and the heartbeat. During the test, researchers mapped the exact area of the brain that was affected by the heart, which was the amygdala.

                                          The amygdala is known as the fight or flight brain structure and processes fear reactions, alongside signals from the heart. In this experiment, however, it is the human heart that is affecting the brain in the first instance.

                                          However, there are still some scientists that argue having neurons in the heart does not make it a thinking organ. There are also neurons in the spinal cord and the nervous system, but they do not have minds either.
                                          Science is still finding out many things we need to know better.
                                          GOD bless you.
                                          peace.
