    Peace Mahdi.
    What I am saying is you must be 100% sure that the heart does not think or play any part in our thinking or are you not?

    So what can Qoran mean then if not metaphor?

    I am also saying I am not sure science has completed all the knowledge about the brain and the heart because new researchers are still coming up with new findings about the brain and heart and the connection between them.
    What I am sure about is that so far Qoran has stood the scrutiny of proven science. in many fields.
    GOD bless you.
    Peace.

      This is your initial thread... So do you really say in your last thread you can't answer...
      You are convinced ambiguous fellow... You are darting around.. You are having fun..
      You very well know that heart is the one Quran's poiny of view.. But act you are confused.. No.. You want to prove QURAN is wrong.. It is obvious. Even you say No.. Words you have written is what is inside your HEART.. coz it was spontaneous...

      Peace, Thanks for judging

      Peace

          Peace,

          My understanding of God willing=If actions that i do is according to The law that God has placed in universe,

          U said Coz at a believer if not mocked that's strange

          Its not about being believer or atheist or etc…

          Its about rejecting the facts and truths without even studying about it, it is the same thing that christian priests and others did when they heard someone says earth isnt flat and sun doesnt revolves around earth, people wont mock you if you study something and came with a result that majority doesnt accept, but people mock if you doesnt study about something, and making funny theories without having knowledge in it,

          Peace.

          Thanks for judging as well... You are too smart future doctor.

            Peace brother,

            U said
            It stands for reasoning power, analytical acumen, logical faculty, and such other capabilities
            usually associated with the “mind”.

            Yes, and 2264 says that this mind is in sadr which means chest, so it cant be a metaphor, unless your translate sadr as something else

            And as i said in few verse qalb came with eye and ear, so according to quran its a organ, and when it says it thinks itsnot a metaphor, does when i say to you Hawk see with his eyes, and heat with his eyes, and think by his qalb, the first and second one isnt a metaphor and third one is a metaphor?! Its not peace

            Peace

            Peace Mahdi20, at least you're having a good time even though you're as wrong as two left shoes. ;D

            2246 Have they not travelled in the land so that they should have hearts with which to understand,
            or ears with which to hear? For surely it is not the eyes that are blind, but blind are the hearts which
            are in the breasts.

            & are you gonna say that the heart has eyes too? nope and Still not a metaphor? my good brother c'mon handshake

            You say
            And as i said in few verse qalb came with eye and ear, so according to quran its a organ, and when it
            says it thinks itsnot a metaphor, does when i say to you Hawk see with his eyes, and heat with his eyes,
            and think by his qalb, the first and second one isn't a metaphor and third one is a metaphor?! Its not peace

            People having eyes but cannot see does not mean that they are "physically" blind.
            People having ears but cannot hear does not mean they are "physically" deaf dear brother.

            I would suggest to you to take a walk through the door 0f ayat 37
            no offense intended but as your brother in the Deen.

            peace

              peace, all languages billions (they’re not all dumb) speaking English "heart" symbolizes individual emotion as in Albanian "zemra" to Slavic "srce" to Zulu "inhliziyo" not always the physical pump.

              https//www.washingtonpost.com/news/morning-mix/wp/2016/06/10/this-man-lived-even-played-basketball-without-a-human-heart-for-555-days-before-receiving-a-transplant/

              Likewise, the same with "fuadu" and "qalb" context is your friend!

              2810 واصبح and became فواد fuadu/heart (inner emotion) ام mother موسى Musa فارغا empty of (hopeless) ان indeed كادت near she لتبدى to disclose به in him لولا if not ان that ربطنا strengthened we of على upon قلبها qalbiha/heart (mind/persona) hers لتكون to she being من of المومنىن the believers (masculine plural)

              1736 ولا and not تقف thou pursue ما what لىس not is لك to you به in it علم knowledge ان indeed السمع the hearing (enquiry) والبصر and the sight (evidence) والفواد wal-fuada/and the heart (inner emotion/intuition) كل each اولىك those كان be عنه about it مسىولا questioned of

                Peace..

                Have you guys read all the verses where heart (Qalb) appear... and have you deeply pondered on them..
                Allah is precise in his word usage... No one can change what is written in quran..
                either accept or deny... that's the option..
                or else be like Mahdi whose heart is in his mouth... lol.. but one day in sha allah his heart will be in his throat when he realize the truth...lol

                God knows best and not bunch of scientists..

                  The Qur'an uses folk idioms. For example, in Turkish we say during the night "the sun is sinking"(in English saying "the sun is setting&quot. During the day, we/Turks say "the sun is birthing"(Englishman saying "the sun is shining&quot. Of course, the Qur'an used the folk expressions of the Arabs. This has nothing to do with symbolism, these folk idioms have a clear dictionary meaning. Even a primary school child easily understands what is being said.

                      Peace brother jkhan, you said God knows best and not bunch of scientists..

                      Yes, for sure God knows best, and according to 2nd part of your statement, as i mentioned earlier you dont need to be a scientist to understand that heart thinks or not, high school education is enough, and even for a person without education, he 100% knows that moving one person heart to another body doesnt change the reciever emotions , if you move joker heart to cinderella, cinderella wont become joker handshake and he certainly knows that people with artifical heart have emotions, unless him/her is denier of truths and facts.

                      Peace brother hawk

                      You said are you gonna say that the heart has eyes too? nope and Still not a metaphor? my good brother c'mon handshake

                      No brother, what their hearts are blind has to to with the heart is center of emotion or not?

                      When someone say i drinked alochole, and its covered my brain, we understand that 1-this person thinks that he thinks by his brain 2-this drink did something to him/her brain so he cant think and etc,

                      Same for “their hearts are blind” it means 1-they think by they hearts 2-they hearts cant think, they hearts deny the truth

                      Peace brother/sister noonwaqalami,thanks for entering the discussion

                      i agree with some parts of your comment, but at least two problems

                      1-the problem is inner emotions that are in your chest doesnt make sense

                      2-at least the author should do something when in a book it says statements like this, at least from somewhere in this book i should know that the author knows that humans think by his brain, see my answer to brother emre blow

                      Peace brother emre, you said The Qur'an uses folk idioms. For example, in Turkish we say during the night "the sun is sinking"(in English saying "the sun is setting&quot.

                      Thanks for rejecting your previous statements my dear brother,if this is a folk idiom, then the 9615 and 16 is a folk idiom /experssion . As muhammad asad and others linguists say. And then it means that we cant find anywhere that Quran says that human think by their Brain

                        peace; chest is never mentioned 132 examples are clear physiological references to "mind/attitude" and likewise with that heart i.e., mindset Qur'an may not be for you; perhaps move on to whatever and the next time you run into basic terms like heartless etc., used in all languages by billions of people you can dismiss them as being dumb while you are "smart" and educated!

As muhammad asad and others linguists say. And then it means that we cant find anywhere that Quran says that human think by their Brain

                          No, there it is clearly said that the sinner will be caught by the forelock in front of the forehead. Even if you take it as a folk expression, the action is the same, and even if you don't, the action is the same. The expression that the forehead is sinner is not in the folk idiom.

                          You are not reading the paragraph in its entirety. Stop relying on other people's statements. Read the Quran.

                              Peace brother, see 1156, it says every دابة have ناصیه ,

                              Can you kindly explain what is دابه ? Is it not living creature/ animal etc?

                              Does every animal have ناصیه=brain ?

                                As you can see, paragraph is not talking about the sinner forehead here. But in the verse I gave, it additionally says that the forehead is the part that commits sin.

                                Here, because you did not read it in its entirety, you do not know and you do not understand the expression.

                                The result is the same whether you take the verb to catch your forelock as a folk idiom or not. In the paragraph I gave, it is also given the information that the forehead is the part that commits the sin.

                                  As you can see, paragraph is not talking about the sinner forehead here. But in the verse I gave, it additionally says that the forehead is the part that commits sin.

                                  Here, because you did not read it in its entirety, you do not know and you do not understand the expression.

                                  The result is the same whether you take the verb to catch your forelock as a folk idiom or not. In the paragraph I gave, it is also given the information that the forehead is the part that commits the sin.

                                  Read the Quran

                                  9615 Alas, if he does not cease, We will strike the forelock.

                                  9616 A frontal lobe which lies and errs.

                                      Peace Mahdi bro..

                                      Now you are dragging everyone to noman's land..
                                      Quran is very clear that heart has its functions.. Quran never said that heart pumps blood.. Does that mean we don't accept science or the extreme reality that heart pumps blood.. Of course heart pumps blood.. But Quran has given the priority to heart for many human functions.. That you are not in a position to accept..
                                      They may transplant anythjng they want if technology improves.. Perhaps exception brain for that matter entire head.. . If they are capable to do it that would be the ultimate victory of human being...

                                      Anyhow let me stick to topic.. I am not someone against sience dude.. And I am not someone who doesn't know what science has done to human life.. Just don't talk blindly as if you are convinced and others not use wits..
                                      Natural heart transplant is being taking place on this earth for years.. And it is to some extent successful.. So that cannot deny the fact what Quran speaks of about heart.. Agree?

                                      When it comes to artificial heart transplant it is one of the weakest transplant of body organs.. It us temporary and until any donor gives green signal..
                                      Just go through the procedure.. If you have already then observe well.. We don't see entire 100% of heart is removed during artificial transplant . We never know which part of heart is directly connected with brain for thinking loving emotions and evil etc etc.. Pumping blood is main concerns of doctors while transplanting.. So they do that part successfully.. That's what called weak heart.. Unable to pump blood for various reasons.. That's what doctors trying to rectify.. Not the other functions of entire heart.. Just confirm with animated video or live artificial heart transplant. No it is only part of heart..
                                      Again I reiterate for others .. Heart is not brain in Quran... Heart is an organ which is situated in left side of one's chest...lol.. If one says that is not what Allah meant by qalb then I doubt what else he would understand by QURAN..
                                      Allah has not given any human being two hearts.. Agree? So one.. But when it comes to brain we definitely have two brains atleast but science may say two to four.. So.. Heart is the one Allah talks about which is one qalb ..

                                      Quran says they speak from their mouth as believers but belief is not yet reached to their hearts...
                                      So what helps to speak.. Of course brain commands.. But what makes you determined and full of intent. That's heart..
                                      Quran says Allah won't mind what you just say but Allah definitly mind what our hearts intend.

                                        P

                                        Peace brother hawk

                                        You said are you gonna say that the heart has eyes too? nope and Still not a metaphor? my good brother c'mon handshake

                                        No brother, what their hearts are blind has to to with the heart is center of emotion or not?

                                        When someone say i drinked alochole, and its covered my brain, we understand that 1-this person thinks that he thinks by his brain 2-this drink did something to him/her brain so he cant think and etc,

                                        Same for “their hearts are blind” it means 1-they think by they hearts 2-they hearts cant think, they hearts deny the truth

                                        I like you brother you should be a dance instructor, you are all over the place. How could you
                                        misquote 4226

                                        How can you say this
                                        No brother, what their hearts are blind has to to with the heart is center of emotion or not?

                                        When the ayat says

                                        So, have they not traveled through the earth and have hearts by which to reason and ears by which to hear?
                                        For indeed, it is not eyes that are blinded, but blinded are the hearts which are within the breasts.} (Quran 2246)

                                        Reason brother not emotion as you have erroneously stated. hmm have you studied 37 yet?

                                        God bless you

                                          Peace jkhan, yes sure, in the most common type of artificial heart , atriums arent mechanical, i mean atriums are natural atriums. But that doesnt mean that atriums thinks or have emotions, otherwise as i said the cinderella would become joker rotfl , go ask a doctor ,what will happen if someones limbic system injured in in car crash and etc, i am not here to know that heart think or not. If this is your goal or someone else goal , go study reliable books.

                                          U said But when it comes to brain we definitely have two brains atleast but science may say two to four

                                          What!!?!!??? From where u heard that we have two to four brains!!??? rotfl rotfl yay
                                          My dear brother are you kidding me?

                                          Peace emre, can your clear that what is ناصیه according to you??

                                          Peace noon, so according to your translation 2246 means but blind are your minds which is in your center of thoughts?

                                          I never rejected that it can mean this, but for me its seems that the author really thinks mind=heart center of emotions=chest, because function of brain and even for word it i think never mentioned in Quran, there isnt any clue to know that the author used this experssions in the same way we use it today.(i mentioned it earlier in my 2nd comment about your comment i think), thats why people like brother jkhan and brother good logic and so many other people says that quran says people really think by their heart,

                                          Peace hawk, thanks for correcting my mistake, when i was writing that comment you mentioned. I just read noon comment, and somehow i wrongly write it,

                                          i correct it No brother, what their hearts are blind has to to with the heart is center of thinking or not?

                                          Yes brother, i have read 37, it is poorest logic to say when a verse is A or B then its mutashabbeh and we shouldnt
                                          pay so much attention to it.
