Although all parts of the body participate in physical and intuitive perceptions, the heart, as the most amazing aspect of human existence, is considered the main axis of wisdom and knowledge. The heart is a holistic mirror of human identity and the place of connection with the soul that shapes his behaviors and choices. In the Torah's legal texts, the heart encompasses the entirety of human existence (body and soul) and is considered the seat of the soul, while in the Quran, the heart lacks a purely anatomical concept and is mostly attributed to concepts such as thought, faith, and emotions. This study uses a descriptive-analytical method to comparatively examine the functions of the heart in these two religious traditions. The findings show that in the Torah, the heart is sometimes the center of emotions and sometimes related to reason and wisdom, while in the Quran, the heart acts as the center of understanding, faith, and moral decision-making. Also, in both texts, the heart is the place of divine testing and the arena of conflict between good and evil, but the Quran, by emphasizing the connection of the heart with the Sharia, offers a dimension beyond the Torah's wisdom.
