Is it true that the intellect is in the head?

The questioner : Is it true that the intellect is in the head?

The Shaykh : Hehe, Allah knows best. This requires us to get a person, slaughter him, and look inside.

The questioner : The verse, O Shaykh.

The Shaykh : If he has lost his intellect, then it is in his head.

The questioner : The verse, O Shaykh

The Shaykh : Well, since you have the verse from the Qur'an, how do you ask? Say, or is it in the brains?!
The student: In the chests.

The Shaykh : In the chests, and this Creator (Mighty and Majestic), , do you understand or not? But one might say, is it not the case that if the brain is disordered, the intellect is disordered? Yes, because the brain, by the permission of Allah, is the one that has the concepts; it conceptualizes things and then sends them quickly to the heart, and then the heart commands, commands or forbids. So the true administrator of the body is truly the heart, and the one that conceptualizes the things it processes, like a secretary, and sends them to the heart, that is in the brain. For this reason, Imam Ahmad (may Allah have mercy on him) said: "The intellect is in the heart and it has a connection in the brain", and some said: "The intellect is like the dynamo and the brain is like the candle", meaning like the light bulb. So the original basis is centered on the heart. The third? Three, finished.
