Özet:

According to Imam al-Maturidi (d. 333/944) the biological heart is very important for the body, and the spiritual heart is valuable for its healthy life. A person who knows the causes and consequences of heart actions well can live happily and peacefully both in the world and in the hereafter if he is found with good and beautiful actions. The spiritual heart, which is the center of religious-moral lives and the “bed of faith”, prepares its good-bad states by the choice of its own free will, in contrast to the forced/determinist views, and takes responsibility. The heart that Allah desires from his servant and is pleased with is a natural, pure, munip (prepared to die), sekine (peaceful), trembling and happy heart. Such hearts know their responsibility when Allah is mentioned, that is, to avoid his prohibitions in doing his commandments. The beautiful beliefs within come out as love, compassion, tolerance and beauty. The wisdom of the creation of the heart is to be able to live beauty, happiness and peace with knowledge, to know Allah by his names, verbs and adjectives, to love him and to worship him as he wants. These suggestions and views of al-Maturidi, who cares about functional reason, questioning truth, science, contemplation and psychosocial actions, can also be seen as solutions to today's faith and moral problems.
