an awesome article on this:


In the Qur’an, Allah ta’ala uses three words to describe our hearts: qalb, fu’aad and sadr. We know that every Arabic word is chosen for a reason, yet all three of these words for the most part are translated as “heart.” As usual, the intricate meanings of these words are not captured in the translation.

So, what is their difference?

Qalb

Qalb is the general word for heart. It comes from the root which means something that turns around and about and upside down. It is the nature of hearts that they are constantly changing, this is the normal state of our hearts. When Allah ta’ala refers to emaan and diseases of the heart, qalb is used.


Fu’aad

Fu’aad is from the verb fa’ada meaning burning or a flame and lahmun fa’eed means a roasted meat on a fire. Fu’aad is used when the heart is inflamed with emotion, as they say, “in the heat of the moment.” Fu’aad is used in the Qur’an to describe the heart when it is engrossed in emotion: happiness, sadness, lust, frustration, anger or regret. My favorite example of this is in suratul Qasas (28), Allah ta’ala says,

وَأَصْبَحَ فُؤَادُ أُمِّ مُوسَىٰ فَارِغًا

But there came to be a void in the heart of the mother of Musa. (28:10)

Allah ta’ala uses fu’aad to describe the heart of Umm Musa after putting her newborn into the Nile, as if it was about to leave her chest in her worry and sadness. Allah ta’ala says her fu’aad became faarigha, empty. She was in such an emotional state that she could not think of anything except Musa alayhi salaam. Then He says,

إِن كَادَتْ لَتُبْدِي بِهِ لَوْلَا أَن رَّبَطْنَا عَلَىٰ قَلْبِهَا

She was almost going to disclose his (case), had We not strengthened her heart. (28:10)

After Allah ta’ala strengthened her heart out of His Mercy, when she regained her emaan, patience and trust in Him, her fu’aad became qalb.

Another example of fu’aad is when Allah ta’ala says:

إِنَّ السَّمْعَ وَالْبَصَرَ وَالْفُؤَادَ كُلُّ أُولَـٰئِكَ كَانَ عَنْهُ مَسْئُولًا
Indeed, the hearing, the sight and the heart – all those will be questioned. (17:36)

Allah azza wa jal did not say our quloob will be questioned, rather He ta’ala said the fu’aad.

When people are committing sins, some type of emotion overtakes them which makes them cross the limits. How many times have we heard, “It’s not me – it’s the hormones!” When we are questioned on the Day of Judgment, we cannot use the “they were a fitnah, I couldn’t help it!”, “I was emotional!” or “it was out of anger!” excuse on that Day to Allah ta’ala because we are the ones in control of our fu’aad. It’s not going to work. WE will be accountable for what our hands, eyes and hearing reaped—no one else.

Sadr

Sadr takes the meaning of chest, and when Allah ta’ala eludes to motives or secrets, he uses sadr because it gives the illusion literally of a treasure chest: something hidden and boxed up.

This example can be seen in suratun Naas:

الَّذِي يُوَسْوِسُ فِي صُدُورِ النَّاسِ

The one who whispers in the hearts of Mankind. (114: 5)

Shaytan does not make waswas (whispers) into our quloob, but rather he whispers in the chests of the people. There is a distinction because Allah ta’ala created the qalb as pure. The example of the heart is like a fort and the eyes/tongues/ears/hands are gates to the opening. Shaytan waits outside of this fort, attacking the openings trying to get in. Out of Allah’s Rahmah, He did not give Shaytan access to our quloob, but rather to our sudoor. It is us who let the gates open, not Shaytan.

These seemingly simple words contain an ocean of wisdom behind the use of each. We all understand that the Qur’an is a book of wisdom, but when we study intricate details like this, we truly see HOW it is a book of wisdom. We ask Allah ta’ala to make us amongst its companions, Ameen.

Allah is Most Knowing.

I_object if u don't know anything about our religion, u better not speak about it either...
U don't understand the correct meaning or context of The Quranic verses and the sayings of our Prophet S.A.W.W. You're quoting.... U shared a few pictures... But did u read all the content which is there in this thread? If not then u have NO RIGHT to judge our religion! U don't know how peaceful and wonderful it is, so u bettet be quiet!

If u want to KNOW about the religion u ask someone.... a religiou scholar that is, for a proper explanation and interpretation. What u are doing is humiliating a religion! You are raising such questions without any research!!
Our religion gives ALOT of respect to women!!
U wanna know the truth? Here:

okey but, tell me that are these ayats authemtic, ? stop saying our religion our religon, it is mine too. okey. when the positive aspects of a religion an be discussed, why can't th shaded ones too, if i were you, i won't be so hyper and worried if i trusted my religon especially. Lets see if someone deny that and give correct info, ( forget about rest aspects, tell me about specific Ayah) then cool, or other wise, you accept that Islam allows women to be beaten, (when you will be married, your husband will be right to beat you too)

See... (As far as i know) the husbands ARE NOT allowed to beat... Until amd unless the wives disobey... And by disobedience it is meant that the wife is not modest, she is being unethical... and cheating on the husband (secretly or openly).... Other than that.. If she has a good character, she has alot of rights and husbands are supposed to fulfill all their needs!!
