In Islamic philosophy, the qalb (Arabic: قلب), or heart, is the origin of intentional activities, the cause behind all humans' intuitive deeds. While the brain handles the physical impressions, qalb (the heart) is responsible for deep understanding within the (the chest). Heart and brain work together, but it is the heart where true knowledge can be received. In Islamic thought, the heart is not the seat of feelings and emotions, but of rūḥ (Arabic: روح): the immortal cognition, the rational soul. In the Quran, the word qalb is used more than 130 times.
