The Heart!
Bible:
Samuel 16:7, NIV. "But the Lord said to Samuel, 'Do not consider his appearance or his height, for I have rejected him. The Lord does not look at the things man looks at. Man looks at the outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart."
Psalm 51:10, NIV. "Create in me a pure heart, O God, and renew a steadfast spirit within me."
John 3:19-20, NIV. "This then is how we know that we belong to the truth, and how we set our hearts at rest in His presence whenever our hearts condemn us. For God is greater than our hearts, and He knows everything."
Romans 6:17, TLB. "Thank God that though you once chose to be slaves of sin, now you have obeyed with all your heart the teaching to which God has committed you."
Quran:
[11.120] And all we relate to you of the accounts of the apostles is to strengthen your heart therewith; and in this has come to you the truth and an admonition, and a reminder to the believers.
[22.54] And that those who have been given the knowledge may know that it is the truth from your Lord, so they may believe in it and their hearts may be LOWELY(soft) before it; and most surely Allah is the Guide of those who believe into a right path.
[42.24] Or do they say: He has forged a lie against Allah? But if Allah pleased, He would seal your heart; and Allah will blot out the falsehood and confirm the truth with His words; surely He is Cognizant of what is in the breasts.
[57.16] Has not the time yet come for those who believe that their hearts should be humble for the remembrance of Allah and what has come down of the truth? And ~that) they should not be like those who were given the Book before, but the time became prolonged to them, so their hearts HARDENED, and most of them are transgressors.
Hadith:
It has been made clear what is lawful and what is forbidden. Inbetween the two there are certain things un-defined: most people do not know which category they belong to. Whoever keeps away from them safeguards his faith and his honor. Whoever steps into the doubtful is likely to step into the forbidden area.He is like a sheperd who let his flock graze around the forbidden area, while ther is every danger that the flock may stray into it. Remember that every sovereign has a forbidden area.The forbidden area of Allah comprises the things He has prohibited. Beaware! There is an organ in the body-as long as it remains healthy, the entire body remains healthy.The moment it becomes diseased, the entire body will become diseased.Remember that this organ is the heart.
