1) This document discusses recent scientific research showing that the heart is more than just a blood-pumping organ, and has significant influence over psychological and emotional states. 2) Studies have found that heart transplantation patients experience psychological changes, losing feelings of love. The heart appears to store memories and personal characteristics that are transferred with the organ. 3) The heart communicates with and directs the brain through electromagnetic signals and complex neural networks, affecting functions like realization, decision-making, and emotional processing. When the heart is functioning poorly, cognitive performance decreases. 4) Recent evidence demonstrates that the heart has a sophisticated information processing and communication system that influences the entire body and levels of social connection. The heart plays a

2. Have they not traveled through the
land, and have they
hearts wherewith to understand
and ears wherewith to hear? Verily, it
is not the eyes that grow blind
but it is the hearts which are in the
breasts that grow blind.
In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
This research offers a scientific vision for the heart which agree with the descended Qur’an
fourteen century ago

3. What is the objective of this research?
- God mentioned the heart more than hundred times in Qur’an which
refers
to the importance of this organ.
The Day whereon neither wealth nor sons will avail, Except him who
brings to Allah a clean heart {clean from polytheism and hypocrisy }
(Sûrat Ash-Shuarâ- verse 88-89)
- Your health is measured by the health of your heart.
- When heart is stopped , it means your life was ended.
- If heart is in a good condition, it means all the body in a good condition
and if it is in a bad condition the entire body is in a bad condition , so
heart determines your fate.
- O My dear, don’t read this research just for information but it is very
important for all of us in this world and in the hereafter.

4. Introduction…..
What is the new in this research
This research offers a new vision for human heart , for many years
scientists studied heart from the physiological side and they considered
it only a blood pumping machine no more no less, but starting from the
twenty one century and because of the high development in heart
transplantation and artificial heart surgeries , researchers started to
notice a strange and vague phenomenon which is a change in the
patient's psychological status after heart transplantation !!
This research is based on more than 70 scientific
references
HEART

5. we are going to review the latest
scientific researches about this
phenomenon . This phenomenon is the change in psychology
of the patient who exchanged his natural heart with an artificial
one as he face a serious psychological changes in what he
loves and what he hate and also in his beliefs.
Heart…
Affects our psychology
Heart has a vital role in human psychology!

6. The heart start its mission since you are an embryo (21 days after
start of pregnancy) to pumping blood to the entire body, when you
are adult your heart can pump more than seventy thousand liter of
blood every day. When you reach the age of seventy, the total
pumped amount of blood would be more than million barrel during
these years.
Heart and the embryo!!
Heart is created before brain , and
it starts to pulse from its first day
till death.

7. Heart contains a sophisticated
network of neurons and it secrete
hormones that control the entire body, it can remember ,feel and control
emotions as each heart strike transmits messages to brain and all organs of
the body , these messages are no more than electromagnetic signals , heart
performance and its signals change according to the emotional status of heart.
Heart…
Is more than a blood pumping
machine!
Heart can remember, feel
and send orders to all
organs of the body.
Does your heart sense your emotional state? www.msnbc.msn.com, Jan. 26, 2006.

8. Many researchers believe that heart leads brain and each heart cell
has a memory!! DR. “Schwartz” say that our history is written
inside each cell in our body , also many researchers believe that
heart cells store information.
Surprise:
Hearts think and understand !
University of Hawaii.
Many researches confirm
that heart controls the
entire body not only brain

9. Heart provides all cells of our body
with oxygen, as cells picks up
oxygen to burn it to feed itself, and
then it throw carbon gas and
poisoned materials in blood as
heart pumps it again toward the
lungs which purify blood and throw
carbon gas during the breathing
process (inhalation and exhalation).
length of the vascular network in
our body is about one hundred
thousand kilometer.
Heart mechanism
Human heart pumps
blood through a network
of blood vessels . Its
length is up to100000
kilometer!!

10. Only from thirty years,
researchers started to
notice the relation between
brain and heart when they
noticed that heart has a
vital role in understanding the surrounded world and they
had found that heart can affect the electrical activity of
brain.
The relation…
Between heart and brain
Paul Pearsall, Gary E. Schwartz, Linda G. Russek, Organ Transplants and
Cellular Memories, Nexus Magazine, April - May 2005.

11. Dr.” Armour” say that
Heart has a special system in processing incoming information from
entire body and the success of any heart transplantation surgery
depends on the neural system of the transplanted heart and how much it
is able to adapt with the patient.
The neural system
of the heart
Science of the heart, Institute of HeartMath
Lately , scientists
discovered secrets
of the neural system
of the heart.

12. Prof “Gary Schwartz” specialist in
Psychiatry in Arizona University
and Prof Linda Russek believe that
heart has a special power which
enables it to store and process
information. Therefore memory is
not only in brain but also in heart.
Prof Gary made a research which included more than three hundred
patient who performed transplantation surgery and he found that all
patients were exposed to many psychological changes after the
surgery.
Memory…..
is not only in brain

13. Prof Gary Schwartz says: we
performed a heart
transplantation surgery for an ill child as we implanted heart of a dead
child in the body of the ill one. Mother of the dead child says: every time I
huge the child I feel as if my child is still alive and that child is my own
one.
Heart…….
And sentiment of the mother

14. An interesting discovery that is all people who changed their hearts
with an artificial one had lost their feelings and their ability to love. In
11/8/2007, the American newspaper "Washington post" published
reportage about Peter Houghton who performed an artificial heart
transplant surgery. He says: my feelings had changed, I am not able
to know what I hate and what I love even I don't have feelings toward
any of my grandchild.
Heart…. and feelings
Washington Post, 11/8/2007
People who implanted
artificial hearts had lost their
feeling with love and
sentiments

15. Till this moment, scientists don't understand this phenomenon and
the secret behind that psychological change. Prof Arthur Caplan
Head of Medical Ethics at University of Pennsylvania says:
’’ scientists used to deal with human body as if it is a machine and
we never gave any attention to the relation between feelings and
organs of our body.”
Scientists admit….
That they didn’t study heart
enough

16. Heart pulses rate is
changing according to
the psychological and emotional status of us. DR J. Andrew Armour
confirm that there is a very complicated brain inside the heart. In our
heart there are more than forty thousand neuron which works in an
extraordinary precision to control heart pulses, hormone production
and information storing. then this information are sent to brain. This
information plays a vital role in realizing and understanding.
A brain in the heart
Science of the heart, Institute of HeartMath
Heart contains
40000
neuron

17. Researchers confirm that
information flows from
heart to inside brain through special paths, as these information leads
brain cells to be able to understand and realize , nowadays scientists
are working to establish many centers concerned about studying
relationship between heart and brain and the relation between heart
and cognitive and psychological operations.
Heart…
directs brain’s neurons
www.heartmath.org
Incoming information from heart

18. After many researches, DR “Paul Pearsall”
say : “heart can feel and remember and
it transmit vibrations to communicate with
other hearts, also it helps in organizing
immunity of the body. also it transmit
information in each pulse to the entire
body “ therefore some researchers have got a question , is it possible
for memory to stay deep inside our hearts? in his book ‘the heart’s code’
Dr Paul says:" when you suddenly feel with anything or when you feel
happy or sad , you put your hand on your breast without feeling ”
The Heart’s code
The Heart's Code, 1999.

19. Today, researches confirm that
heart with its organized
harmony controls the entire
body as it considered to be a
method to linking all cells, when blood goes into each cell then it feed
these cells not only with oxygen but also with information.
Heart ……
Transmits information to brain
Institute of HeartMath.
Heart

20. In heart math institute they
found that heart has a very
strong electrical field
which affects all
surrounding people. Therefore human can communicate with others
only with his heart without talking. !! Also they found a relation
between number of heart pulses and the transmitted waves from brain
(Alfa waves). The more heart pulses the more transmitted waves from
brain.
The electrical field of
heart
Science of the heart, Institute of HeartMath.
HEART

21. The heart math institute had
performed many experiments to
prove that heart transmit
electromagnetic vibrations
which affect brain. So heart may
affect the realizing and the
understanding of human, also they found that heart transmit a very
strong electrical field which controls the entire body.
Heart ..
Affects other hearts
Science of the heart, Institute of HeartMath.

22. Rollin McCraty and Mike Atkinson had made
a research which was published in the
annual meeting of the Pavlovian Society.
They found that there is a relation between
heart and realization. They proved this relation by measuring the
electromagnetic activity of heart and brain when people are trying to
understand something. They found that when heart performance is in
a low level, realizing also will be low.
Heart…and realization
Rollin McCraty, The Scientific Role of the Heart in Learning and Performance.
Heart performance changes during
receiving of information ,which prove that
heart has a vital role in realization , also it
prove that healthy hearts leads to more
understanding !!

23. The results of the Institute of
Heart Math was marvelous .they
found that when you speak or
touch another person, changes
in your heart will affect the brain activities of the other person!! This
means that your heart affects his brain.
Also, researchers confirm that the heart affected by nice words so that
pulses rate changes also the electromagnetic field of the heart.
Heart…..
affects brain of the
other people

24. One day a woman married a man and after
couple of years and due to his atheism, he
committed suicide by a gun to end his life.
doctors found that his heart is in a good
condition so they decided to implant it in
a body of an ill man who used to a
believer. by coincidence , that man met the widow of the dead man
(who committed suicide), when he saw her he felt as if he knows her
from a long time , and he told her that he is in love with her and he
can't live without her. But the surprise is that the believer man
became atheist till he decided to suicide by a gun. He shot himself
in head and he died by the same way as the atheist man did!!
Explanation is very simple, the realization and thinking center is in
heart not brain.
A new story….
To prove that heart is the center of belief
Daily Mail, 10/4/2008
‫االصطناعي‬ ‫القلب‬

25. The holy Qur’an told us about some facts in cardiology , these facts
were undiscovered till the twenty one century . Current researches
expose many facts about miracles in Qur’an to be a clear reply on
skeptics who believe that Qur’an is a human made.
Holy Qur'an…..
and cardiology
Did Qur'an precede west
scientists?

26. Qur’an confirms that ….
heart is a way to understanding
1.Heart is a thinking method.
2.Eye is a sight method.
3.Ear is a hearing method.
God be blessed and exalted says:
( And surely, we have created many of the jinn and mankind for Hell.
They have hearts wherewith they understand not,
and they have eyes wherewith they see not,
and they have ears wherewith they hear not (the truth).
They are like cattle, nay even more astray; those! They are the heedless
ones ) (Sûrat Al-Arâf - verse 179).
They have hearts wherewith
they understand not

27. Today , scientists tell
us about a brain in the
heart which consists of
40000 neuron and it leads the brain in its missions , so our God
created heart as a method of understanding , God says:( Have they
not traveled through the land, and have they hearts wherewith to
understand and ears wherewith to hear? Verily, it is not the eyes that
grow blind, but it is the hearts which are in the breasts that grow
blind.) ( Sûrat Al-Hajj – verse46).
Qur’an refers to …..
Heart’s role in realization

28. Also, scientists tell us
about the vital role of the
heart in understanding
and realizing , God says:
(They have hearts
wherewith they
understand not) ( Sûrat Al-
A‘râf - verse 179), so Qur'an
told us about heart as a
realization center in
human body.
Heart ……
Has a vital role in realization

29. Most people who implanted an artificial heart feel that their heart
became solid with no feeling or love inside, God says to Jews :(Then,
after that, your hearts were hardened and became as stones or even
worse in hardness) ( Sûrat Al-Baqarah- verse 74) .Qur'an told us about two
features of our heart which are hardness and softness, so God says
about disbelievers :( So woe to those whose hearts are hardened
against remembrance of Allah! They are in plain error) (Sûrat Az-Zumar -
verse 22) ,but on the other hand God says about believers :( Then their
skin and their heart soften to the remembrance of Allah) ( Sûrat Az-
Zumar - verse 23) .
Heart….
Between hardness and softness
Can we precede western
scientists in discovering
characteristics of heart from the
holy Qur’an?

30. Scientists
confirm that each
cell in our heart is
considered to be a warehouse for events and information .so
scientists tell us about memory of the heart, God be he blessed and
exalted told us that everything is in heart. God says :( but that Allah
might test what is in your breasts; and to examine closely which was
in your hearts (sins), and Allah is All-Knower of what is in (your)
breasts.) ( Sûrat Âl‘Imrân – verse 154).
Qur’an refers to …. Heart memory

31. According to the most recent researches, heart has an important role
in learning because it leads and control brain's neurons. Qur'an linked
between heart and learning. God says: ( and Allah has sealed up their
hearts (from all kinds of goodness and right guidance) so that they
know not (what they are losing).) ( Sûrat At-Taubah - verse 93)
Heart ….
And learning
Neurons in the heart stores information!

32. Now , it is confirmed that
laying center is in the forelock
which is in the upper front of
brain, scientists observed a great activity in this area when man tell lies ,
but the stored information in heart is real and sincere, so when a man
tell lies he speaks by his tongue with what is not in his heart . God says:
( They say with their tongues what is not in their hearts) (Sûrat Al-Fath -
verse 11) . Tongue obeys the forelock, God says about this forelock :( A
lying, sinful forelock) (Sûrat Al-‘Alaq – verse 16).
Heart … And lying
Qur’an determines lying area
and truth area

33. Many stories confirm that anyone
use an artificial heart may lose his
belief in God , which confirm that
belief is in heart not brain ,also Qur’an referred to heart’s role in
human belief in saying :(O Messenger let not those who hurry to fall
into disbelief grieve you, of such who say: "We believe" with their
mouths but their hearts have no faith ) (Sûrat Al-Mâ’idah-verse 41 ) also
God confirm on heart’s role in directing people to the Straight Way :
(and whosoever believes in Allah, He guides his heart to the true Faith
And Allah is the All-Knower of everything.) (Sûrat At-Taghâbun – verse 11)
Heart…. and belief

34. After many researches on
the artificial heart, scientists
had found that heart has a vital
role in fear and scare , as when
they asked the man who
implanted an artificial heart ,
he told them that he became not
able to feel with fear , the Qur'an told us about hearts that feel with fear,
God says :( The believers are only those who, when Allah is mentioned,
feel a fear in their hearts and when His Verses (this Qur'an) are recited
unto them, they (i.e. the Verses) increase their Faith; and they put their
trust in their Lord (Alone)) ( Sûrat Al-Anfâl - verse 2) also God says : (and He
cast terror into their hearts) ( Sûrat Al-Hashr- verse2).
Heart…. and Fear

35. Prophet Mohamed (peace
be upon him) had
preceded all western
scientists when he told us
fourteen century ago about
heart and its importance for the entire body and for the soul , therefore
if heart is in a good condition and good relation with God the entire
body would be in a good condition . That is confirmed when we review
case of the man who implanted the artificial heart and how much his
body and feeling were destroyed , the prophet said : ( in the body there
is a little lump of flesh if it is in a good condition the entire body will be
good and if it is in a bad condition the entire body will be bad , this
little lump of flesh is heart).
The prophetic
Miracle

36. Breast Memory
Scientists identified
Many changes after
performing heart or
lung change operation . We know that human’s breast contains heart and
lung , We can conclude that what inside breast is responsible for
memory.
God says: (but that Allah might test what is in your breasts; and to purify
that which was in your hearts (sins), and Allah is All-Knower of what is in
(your) breasts.) (Sûrat Âl-Imrân – verse 154) .

37. Scientists found a profound changes in personality of patients after
lung implantation surgery. Qur’an referred to role of the breast in
storing information, God says: (And whether you keep your talk
secret or disclose it, Verily, He is the All-Knower of what is in the
breasts (of men) ) (Sûrat Al-Mulk – verse 13). researchers confirm (see
attached references ) that heart and lung cells (what is inside breast )
store information .
Qur’an refers to …
role of the breast in storing
information

38. Scientists confirm that the first
reason of death is the
disturbance in heart mechanism
and the best treatment is to keep heart stable, also it was proved that
some sound frequencies may affect performance of heart .is there a
better than the sound of Qur'an ? God says: ( Those who believed (in
the Oneness of Allah), and whose hearts find rest in the remembrance
of Allah: verily, in the remembrance of Allah do hearts find rest) ( Sûrat
Ar-Ra‘d – verse 28). Indeed, reading this verse leads to a big rest and
stability in heart.
Heart stability
Verily, in the remembrance of Allah
do hearts find rest By experiment ,they found that
listening to Qur’an heals heart
disturbance and remove
psychological tension.

39. 1. Heart is not only a pumping machine , it stores information and
distribute orders to entire body and it controls brain , so heart is
dominating the entire body.
2. Heart has a vital role in understanding , God speaks to atheists
and skeptics saying: (They have hearts wherewith they understand
not).
3. In many verses Qur’an mentioned that heart has an important role
in learning, love, hate and fear.
4. western doctors haven’t realize all these facts because of the
great difficulty of that kind of researches . So , we hope that
Muslim scientists do some efforts concerning heart as they may
get treatment of some incurable diseases.
