Rooh of the Hearts
Al-Shura (The Counsel)
Chapter 42: Verse 52 (Partial)
Rooh of the Hearts
"And thus have We, by Our command, sent inspiration to you."
Quran is a rooh for the hearts. The rooh of the hearts is more specific than the rooh for the physical body. Allah has called it a rooh because it brings life to the hearts. When this Quran permeates the heart, it gives it life and enlightens it. It then knows its Lord and worships Allah upon guidance. It also fears Him, is aware of Him, loves Him, and extols Him. This is because this Quran is a rooh that moves the hearts like the rooh moves the bodies and forms. But if the hearts are void of the Quran, they die in the same way that if the body is void of the rooh it also dies.
In reality, there are two types of deaths and two types of lives. As for the two deaths, they are the death of the body and death of the heart. As for the two lives, they are the life of the body and the life of the heart. But there is a life in the bodies of the believers, the disbelievers, the pious and the impious. In fact, there is the same biological life for humans and animals with no distinguishing feature between them. The distinguishing feature is found in the life of the heart. This is not obtained except by the believing, pious servants of Allah. As for the disbelievers and the animals, they are missing the life of the hearts even though they may possess a life of the physical body.
