| Summary: | This reflection article aims to provide some insights into the spiritual aspects of a sejahtera heart. Since spirituality is beyond the reach of human mind, we must depend on the information provided in the revelation. The heart plays a central role in the spiritual dimension of human life. Four hadiths with three themes have been selected to construct a general understanding on the spiritual functions of the heart. Firstly, the heart plays the role of the decision-maker that affects the whole body and behavior of human. Secondly, the heart naturally feels at peace when the choice is right but feels uncomfortable when the choice is wrong. Thirdly, a sound heart has the ability to provide the right advice to human. The article concludes by proposing that the strengthening of the spiritual aspects of the heart will create a strong inner control system within every individual. The University must strive towards creating a conducive ecosystem for the sound heart to reach its full potential. This will have a long-lasting effect in our effort to produce holistic staff and students than any external monitoring system. |
