THE TWO KINDS OF HEARTS

There are someone who has an enchanting appeal, seems fun and cool, there are also someone annoying, even seems scary and frightening. The all depends on their hearts.

In a hadith, the Messenger Muhammad SAW said: "
Realize that in the human body there is a piece of meat. If it is good, the whole of body will be good. If it is damaged, the whole of the body will be destroyed in anyway. You all have to know that it is the heart.
The
heart is a very vital thing in every individual of human. Even it is coloring and driving attitudes and behavior.  If we look at the attitudes and human behavior, in fact,  one and the others are not the same. 

There are two kinds about the understanding of heart:
1. First, when
it is viewed in terms of anatomy, the heart/liver is one part of the stomach contents which has dusky red color, it is located on the right side of the abdomen. Its function is to take the nutrients in the blood and produces bile. It is found in every human being and animals that we call the heart of the body.



2. Second, the heart is commonly called conscience. In the Al-Qur'an, it is called 'qolbun ". Imam Al-Ghozali formulates qolbun or liver/heart as a soft thing/object that has a divine and spiritual, and has dealt with the physical heart. This soft thing is the reality of human who can  reach out to the science and understanding, well as being factors that drive the behavior that led to the arrival of blessings or punishment/torment. It is like the substation / electrical central. If electrical central works well, then it will channel flow (strom) which gives bright light in around him. Otherwise, if it is damaged, the situation around will go into darkness with all its consequences.
Similarly, the human heart function in people's lives, it is to be the factor which will decide the human to be be good or bad.
