Important Types of Heart in Islam

According to a Hadith heart is like a feather on the tip of the root which keeps turning around in the direction of the wind.

Heart is not merely a physical organ whose purpose is to pump the blood to all parts of the body. It also plays a vital role in the field of Islam and the spiritual role of heart can’t be ignored.
