In this clip Dr Israr Ahmed explains that the "qalb" (heart) in the Quran refers to both the physical heart and the spiritual heart (the soul). While the physical heart pumps blood, the spiritual heart is where a person's true essence lies. When the Quran says people's hearts are blind, it means their souls are blind, not their eyes. Humans have two aspects: the physical (senses like sight and taste) and the spiritual (connected to the soul and processed by the heart).
