Description
The book "The Intelligent Heart, The Pure Heart" by Dr. Gohar Mushtaq is a bold effort to render concept to the ubiquitous adage in almost all literary writings and in common verbal usage of using the heart as an organ of intellect with the capacity for rational thought, inference and discrimination. The reader will also find, given the abundance of facts and quotes, substantiated to an extent scientifically in conjunction with sufficient present understanding of literary writings and experiences that the heart does possess an ability to affect the brain and play a role in understanding and intellect. This book contains compelling examples to initiate a process of thinking for the curious and the investigative mind.

Summary
The role of the human heart according to Islamic writings in comparison with modern scientific research.

Excerpt
A few decades ago, Rudolf Steiner, a German philosopher and education expert, noted that "the greatest discovery of 20th century science would be that the heart is not a pump but vastly more, and that the great challenge of the coming ages of humanity would be, in effect, to allow the heart to teach us to think in a new way." It seems that now the time has come to show us that the human heart is not just a pumping organ but much more than that. The days of Newtonian mechanics, in which human heart was regarded as a mere pumping organ, will soon become a matter of past.
