Abstract: Human being equipped
by God Almighty with a variety of gifts which enable them to carry a burden of
duties. The gifts are power of the body, vitality and power al-qalb. Islam has
made clear necessity of a proper
functioning of al-qalb to think in order to develop knowledge. It will help
people to carry caliphate duties on earth properly, under the guidance of al-Qur’an
and al-Sunnah. One way to enhance thinking of al-qalbrequired by Islam is
dzikir, therefore, someone will find peace of mind and feel close to God.
Feeling close to God, a person’s soul will be controlled. Conversely, if a
person is not functioning qalb for dzikir, so he will experience drought soul.
In al-Qur’an, al-qalb may have some meanings; it refers to the context of verse
that contains in it. Moreover, to present the meaning of al-qalb is not always
disclosure with the word of al-qalb, but also often disclosure by using the
word of al-fuad, al-lub, al-nafs and al-sadr.
