Srce fizički i metafizički centar ljudskog bića (Islamski korijeni neuroznanosti o srcu)
The Heart, the Physical and Metaphysical Center of the Human Being

Summary/Abstract: Ignoring thousands of years of human experience and wisdom in which the heart had a central physical and metaphysical place on the map of the human being, modern science, totally dependent on the tangible and measurable, until the 1960s, was impressed solely by these incredible physical performances of the heart. The heart was just a very powerful “pump”, an unusual muscle automaton that absolutely obeys the instructions coming from the brain.Although numerous Muslim scholars were precisely the forerunners of modern science and made a huge contribution to the medical understanding of the heart, such as Ibn Sina and Ibn el-Nefis, who in the 13th century were the first to describe the flow of blood between the heart and the lungs, in the Islamic worldview shaped by Qur’anic verses and according to the hadiths of the Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace, the heart was never just a pump, but a unique organ in which the visible and invisible worlds meet and intertwine.
