The heart is affected
by love, hatred, and emotional affairs. Scientists have found that
failure emotional affairs cause real heart diseases, but are there any
Qur’anic indicators? Let’s read…
New Medical News
In recent medical news, scientists
have found that it’s possible to cure broken grieving hearts. American
researchers have conducted experiments on seventy patients who suffer
from “the broken heart syndrome”, health conditions that result from the
pressures caused by psychological and emotional trouble. The group that
was studied involved patients form the state of Rhode Island who
suffered from this syndromebetween the years 2004 and 2008.
It was found that those patients
recovered as soon as they were given aspirin or drugs that are usually
taken by patients with heart diseases although 20% of them were in
critical conditions. Those researchers said in a paper that was
published in the American journal for heart diseases that the reason
behind “broken heard syndrome” might be an increase in the pressure and
anxiety hormone.
This syndrome is medically
referred to as takotsubo cardiomyopathy and it was first discovered by
Japanese researchers in 1990s. Although the symptoms of this syndrome
resembleto a certain extent those of heart attackssuch as chest pains
and dyspnea, it’s still considered a temporary syndrome that could be
completely recovered if treated quickly.
How do we read this syndrome in light of the holy Qur’an?
The recent study confirms that
man's emotional situation especially love impacts the heart and results
in the same symptoms as that of heart diseases; what does this tell us?
It simply means that the heart doesn’t merelypumps blood, but it rather
interacts and is influenced by man's emotional situations. It becomes,
therefore, obvious why Allah, The Almighty says in the holy Qur’an:
“And
for such as had entertained the fear of standing before their Lord's
(tribunal) and had restrained (their) soul from lower Desires* Their
Abode will be the Garden.” Nazi’at: 40-14
Allah, The Almighty commands us
not to drift towards illegal affairs that might end with broken hearts
and Allah also gives us glad tidings of Paradise for abiding by such
noble teachings and also in this world we can guarantee our hearts
safety and tranquility.
The holy Qur’an also talks in more
than fifty verses about the function of hearts for hearts grieve,
become happy, fear, learn, learn wisdom, love, hate, and disgust and
have many other features that scientists are still exploring little by
little. Hence, hearts are influenced by love and we can say that the
heart is a reservoir for emotional relations, so our relations couldbe
based on the love and satisfaction of Allah, and hence we love and hate
only for the sake of Allah. This grants us absolute tranquility and
peace of mind which is exactly what Allah says in the holy Qur’an:
"Those who believe, and whose
hearts find satisfaction in the remembrance of God: for without doubt in
the remembrance of God do hearts find satisfaction.” Ra’d or Thunder:
28
Allah also says:
“Do they not travel through the land, so that their hearts (and minds) may thus learn wisdom
and their ears may thus learn to
hear? Truly it is not their eyes that are blind, but their hearts which
are in their breasts.” Hajj or the Pilgrimage: 46
This great verse proves that hearts learn wisdom and get blind, but how is that?
Unfortunately, scientists haven’t
studied the relationship between atheism and hearts yet. Science,
therefore, doesn't acknowledge the significance of faith for the safety
of the heart and the stability of its functions. We as Muslims, however,
have the Qur’anic foundation that affirms that atheists’ hearts are
sick. Allah, The Great says:
“In their hearts is a disease; and
God has increased their disease: and grievous is the penalty they
(incur), because they are false (to themselves).”Baqara : 10
We believe that hearts become
truly and seriously sick; in other words, just like love, passion, and
failure emotional affairs all make hearts truly sick, atheism also
causes heart diseases. This point, however, requires more research
although recent scientific studies confirm that faith is vital for the
heart’s safety especially after discovering that believers recover
faster than atheists. Accordingly, scientists began to call on the
significance of faith as a means of curing chronic diseases. We,
therefore, call upon Muslim physicians to conduct scientific
experiments (they are extremely easy experiments and don’t cost much,
all we really need is to fully depend on Allah) to test the heart and
its relation with faith or atheism and I think that such research will
have a great impact on the call to Islam and the persuasion of
non-Muslims of the great reality of Islam.
