HEART AND ITS SECRETS
Heart and its Control in Making the Body Sound or Corrupt

Preface: By now, you have understood to some extent the value and effect of obediences and understood as in what defective way we are benefiting from obediences. It would be good to take a look at the investigation about the mechanism of the receiver of these obediences lest there might be some defect in the system of the Nucleus of Monotheism or Luminosity of Faith in heart. For, it has been clarified that the only path to proximity and the means of relationship for the servant to Almighty God is through the performance of unconditional deeds such as, the Remembrance of Almighty God (Dhikr Zikr Zikir) everywhere and at all times, as well as, the more efficient way, the Observation of the Magnificence and Perfection of Almighty Maker by examining and studying the things in the Exhibition (World), along with other conditional deeds which are undertaken and explained well by the Islamic Jurisprudence with all kinds of controversies.

Here, the question will be raised, as how and by what means can the perception of all these truths and the path of Union of servant to Almighty God can be acquired, which is the natural wish of every God-seeking believer? In response, we must say, yes it can be acquired by the means of Heart (or the governor of the entire of this frame of mud and water). There is a clear fact that unless we understand the value, nature and effects of something as necessary, it seems somewhat impossible and difficult to acquire intelligent and real benefits therefrom. Almighty God has given explanations about the great secret of this wealth throughout numerous verses of Intact Quran of Islam in more than 166 verses, the Messenger of God Muhammad (peace be upon him), has stated eloquent Hadith in confirmation. Necessary advancements were taken from this truth and its secrets and mysteries for the success of backward society of Arab, enabling them, shortly after the start of Islam, very rapidly to bring in transformation from every viewpoint in the human society which otherwise seemed impossible, which brought about extensive advancements.

I should regretfully say that however, what people did consign them to oblivion? And why from 6666 verses of the Holy Qur'an, they did pivot around 500 verses of Islamic Jurisprudence (Fiqh)? Why did this consign the rest to oblivion? These are all questions shaking the spiritual forces of true believers. Those having heart and high knowledge, and sufficient luminosity of faith can understand well. In any case, leaving this aside, hereby we will draw your attention to the matters proving the excellent value of heart power and heart's control over the body.

1. Have you noticed? The soundness of heart is the soundness of the entire body, and its corruption is the corruption of the entire body according to the truthful Reporter, Muhammad, peace be upon him. This soundness can become available from two things:

First: The understanding of "Analysis of Man's Atom"¹ according to sound principles of Intact Quran of Islam, also, to be knowledgeable about the Satanic Temptations and Satan's strategies.

Second: Relationship with Glorious God can be established through excess Remembrance (Dhiker), (or remembering His Names), and the Observation of the Exhibition. The sign showing to have obtained this wealth is such that one sees Almighty God everywhere Present and Watchful, serves God's creature for the Happiness of Him Almighty, and is watchful his own states and conditions at whatever field and authority he is.

2. Have you noticed? Therefore, Heart has been given the name of Overturnable or Invertible. Thus, if one becomes knowledgeable about Heart's Analysis, and he becomes informed of it, with the help of Almighty God and assistance of sound companions of Madrassa-e-Towheed, then he can certainly obtain the required benefit from it within the shortest period of time. He will attain the peace and pride of both worlds, and will succeed in transforming the bad and prohibited characteristics to good deeds and habits.

3. Have you noticed? Therefore, the Holy Qur'an has called the Heart more than ten names such as, Modgha (lump of flesh), Qalb (reversible), Fo'ad, Dhameer (the inner), Bal etc. The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him), with detailed explanations has considered the soundness of Heart as the soundness of the body and the corruption of heart as the corruption of the body.

4. Have you noticed? If Heart is purified, it becomes aware of all the secrets of the Upper World, the person's goal becomes the Happiness of Almighty God and of His creatures. He will faithfully pay attention to peace for God's creatures everywhere; he will also put extensive effort into fulfilling the needs of needy ones, without thinking of the slightest personal gain. He will accomplish the assigned duties in the most honest and perfect manner.

5. Have you noticed? The entire significance and proceedings of all ups and downs of life are connected to Heart and Brain in Mankind and in most living creatures. Without these two organs, the opportunity of life for all strong living creatures on our planet is impossible to be secured.

6. Have you noticed? For any human being, no matter how much he or she weighs, it has no effect on the soundness or corruption way of his or her life. Just, approximately one Kilogram brain and half Kilogram heart govern and direct one's affairs and even are active in perceiving the material and spiritual masteries in the upper and lower worlds. They have the administrative authority of the entire body. Therefore, before anything else, we must make decisive efforts for the soundness and relationship of these two very valuable and beneficial organs.

7. Have you noticed? Almighty God has bestowed to Mankind the wealth of intellect, thanks to: "Glorious God taught to Adam, peace be upon him, the secrets of things all."² As evident as it is, from the beginning of the world up to now, thanks to the perception of secrets of things and the knowledge of utilization of things, human beings have attained incredible advancements.

8. Have you noticed? Intellect or the perception of the secrets of things is essentially the inner nucleus and treasure of heart, which by means of the brain's especial cameras called, seeing, hearing, smelling, tasting, touching, talking and variously interpreting receive the information. These mechanisms equipped with secrets of things are then transferring them to the computer of the Heart. There things are processed. After diagnosing things, it will be decided as how to carry out. Therefore, Heart should be considered as the greatest competent machinery in the body of each individual human being, and even other living creatures.

9. Have you noticed? Brain, in the position of archive, has memories which it has filled through the perception of five senses. It establishes the indexes called the cells in the Heart's passage, which will be addressed later. Satan when trying to tempt towards evil acts, or Angel when trying to inspire in good actions, will access these indexes one after the other, until the person becomes inclined to one. Afterwards, they enlarge that particular one, until they make the person involve into good or bad action.

We seek refuge in God from the evil of our egos. Hence, we should make effort to make the Angelic Inspirations continuously predominant on ourselves.

10. Have you noticed? Intellect is a portion of the essence of the Upper World's system. Therefore, it is the discoverer of the secrets of things in this perishing world. On this basis, it undertakes and regulates the nobility of Man after the wealth of soul that has come from Almighty God to Man. "I breathed something from My Holiness, called the Soul, into man."³

11. Have you noticed? In the same manner that Intellect is the discoverer of secrets of things in the perishing world, soul is similarly the discoverer of the unseen secrets of the Fourth Dimension. It is even the uniter of servant to the Presence of Almighty Omnipotent Being (or the Core of Center of Gravity and the Infrastructure and the foundation of the entire Universe).

12. Have you noticed? In the same manner that Intellect is the discoverer of secrets of matter or all three-dimensional things, similarly, spiritual powers are the discoverer of secrets of the Unseen Fourth Dimension. As much as the discovering power of Intellect increases by the acquisition of appropriate knowledge, similarly the discovering strength of spiritual powers expand by the increase of good deeds, and it finally unites the person to Proximity of Almighty Supreme Being's Court.

13. Have you noticed? One origin of the soul is located on top of the Heart, right where the artery and capillary meet, wrapping the entire Heart. Through the arteries and veins, it flows in the whole body.

14. Have you noticed? The other origin of the soul is located in Brain, and through the nerves it dominates all over the body. Their exterior point of intersection is the location of repose for the soul. As the projection of the intersection point reflects on the body, it makes the person feel asleep.

15. Have you noticed? The inferior union point for both of these origins is in front of the larynx. If one accurately finds this location and presses it, then some kind of anesthesia and slackness will unexpectedly befall the person.

16. Have you noticed? Instinct sho'or is a limited quantity of intellect, and intellect is the wide field of knowledge. In other words, intellect is the purified surface and of the top quality part of the liquid solution, as if this liquid solution was Intelligence and aptitude. The instinct is the precipitate or sediment part of the same liquid solution as limited understanding in animals. Whatever amount, Almighty God has put in the very nature of each living creature, it passes on from generation to generation; it does not have the possibility of development like the human perception.
