In the Qur'an, Allah ta'ala uses three words to describe our hearts: qalb, fu'aad andsadr. We know that every Arabic word is chosen for a reason, yet all three of these words for the most part are translated as "heart." As usual, the intricate meanings of these words are not captured in the translation.
Qalb.
Qalb is the general word for heart. It comes from the root which means something that turns around and about and upside down. It is the nature of hearts that they are constantly changing, this is the normal state of our hearts. When Allah ta'ala refers to emaan and diseases of the heart, qalb is used..Allah ta'ala uses fu'aad to describe the heart of Umm Musa after putting her newborn into the Nile, as if it was about to leave her chest in her worry and sadness. Allah ta'ala says her fu'aad became faarigha, empty. She was in such an emotional state that she could not think of anything except Musa alayhi salaam.
Then He says, إِن كَادَتْ لَتُبْدِي بِهِ لَوْلَا أَن رَّبَطْنَا عَلَىٰ قَلْبِهَا
And in the morning, the heart of Moosa’s mother became impatient; and she would have almost certainly given away his secret had We not strengthened her heart, so that she may have faith in Our promise.
[Qasas 28:10]
After Allah ta'ala strengthened her heart out of His Mercy, when she regained her emaan, patience and trust in Him, her fu'aad became qalb.
Another example of fu'aad is when Allah ta'ala says: إِنَّ السَّمْعَ وَالْبَصَرَ وَالْفُؤَادَ كُلُّ أُولَـٰئِكَ كَانَ عَنْهُ مَسْئُولًا
And do not pursue the matter you do not have the knowledge of; indeed the ear, and the eye, and the heart - each of these will be questioned.
[b/Israel 17:36]
Allah azza wa jal did not say our quloob will be questioned, rather He ta'ala said thefu'aad.
Sadr.
Sadr takes the meaning of chest, and when Allah ta'ala eludes to motives or secrets, he uses sadr because it gives the illusion literally of a treasure chest: something hidden and boxed up.
This example can be seen in suratun Naas: الَّذِي يُوَسْوِسُ فِي صُدُورِ النَّاسِ“
Those who instil evil thoughts into the hearts of men.”
[Naas 114:5]
Shaytan does not make waswas (whispers) into our quloob, but rather he whispers in the chests of the people. There is a distinction because Allah ta'ala created theqalb as pure. The example of the heart is like a fort and theeyes/tongues/ears/hands are gates to the opening. Shaytan waits outside of this fort, attacking the openings trying to get in. Out of Allah's Rahmah, He did not give Shaytan access to our quloob, but rather to our sudoor. It is us who let the gates open, not Shaytan. So know your own heart first, do you have a Qalb, Faoud orSadr.
Now look at the following verses, when ALLAH TaAala wishes to be Merciful on someone.
“And My Mercy embraceth all things, therefore I shall ordain It for those who ward off (evil) and pay the poor due, and those who believe Our revelations” (7:156);
and He said “truly the Mercy of Allah is near those who do good”: “Inna rahmat Allahi qaribun min al-muhsinin” (7:56) without putting qaribun in the feminine (qaribatun) although rahma is feminine, because in reality that rahma is our dear Prophet (SallALLAHualaihewasallam), as explicited in the verse: “wa ma arsalnaka illa rahmatan lil-`alamin”: “And We did not send you (Muhammad) except as a Mercy to the worlds” (21:107);
Isn't this Mercy, the Noor e Muhammad (SallALLAHualaihewasallam) experienced in the Heart of Believers, for ALLAH himself says,
The Prophet is closer to the Believers than their own selves [33:6].
[Munafiqoon 63:3] That is because they accepted faith with their tongues then disbelieved with their hearts, therefore their hearts were sealed - so now they do not understand anything.
[Munafiqoon 63:5] And when it is said to them, “Come! Allah’s Noble Messenger may seek forgiveness for you” - they turn their heads away, and you will see them turning away in pride.
[Munafiqoon 63:6] It is the same for them, whether you seek forgiveness for them or do not seek forgiveness for them; Allah will never forgive them; indeed Allah does not guide the sinning people.
[Qaf 50:16] And indeed We have created man and We know what his soul instils in him; and We are nearer to him than the heart's artery.
[Taubah 9:128] Indeed there has come to you a Noble Messenger from among you - your falling into hardship aggrieves him, most concerned for your well being, for the Muslims most compassionate (benevolent), most merciful.
“Rauf” means “most benevolent” and “Rahim” means “most merciful”. These two names are the attributions of Allah the Most High but He says Hz. Muhammad (SallALLAHualaihewasallam) is “Rauf and Rahim”.
"Your protector Muhammad is not insane” (Takwir, 22).
Therefore, Hz. Muhammad (SallALLAHualaihewasallam) is the owner (protector) of the believers. Here, owner means the one who protects them against physical and spiritual dangers, the one who cares for them and looks after them. Concerning these verses, our Prophet (SallALLAHualaihewasallam), our master (Sayyid) Hz. Muhammad (SallALLAHualaihewasallam) is our owner. He is not mad. He is like the sun in comparison with other minds. He is the Universal Intellect and Universal Spirit. He is the source of all the intellects-minds. Those who are crazy and deniers like Abu Jahils & Unbelievers who think that how this a common man like us be a Prophet of God disgrace the Prophet SallALLAHualaiehwasallam in all possible ways. Can't they see the ALLAH doesn't tolerate if even a finger is pointed towards his Beloved.
Verify for a Believers, he is a Human but not a human like us.
[Mominun 23:23] And indeed We sent Nooh towards his people - he therefore said, "O my people! Worship Allah, you do not have any other Allah except Him; so do you not fear?" .
[Mominun 23:24] So the disbelieving chieftains of his people said, "He is just a human like you, he wishes to become your leader; and had Allah willed, He would have sent down angels; We did not hear this in the case of our forefathers."
[Ankabut 29:63] And if you ask them, “Who sent down the water from the sky, and with it revived the earth after its death?”, they will surely say, “Allah”; proclaim, “All praise is to Allah”; in fact most of them do not have any sense.
Qalb.
Qalb is the general word for heart. It comes from the root which means something that turns around and about and upside down. It is the nature of hearts that they are constantly changing, this is the normal state of our hearts. When Allah ta'ala refers to emaan and diseases of the heart, qalb is used..Allah ta'ala uses fu'aad to describe the heart of Umm Musa after putting her newborn into the Nile, as if it was about to leave her chest in her worry and sadness.

Then He says, إِن كَادَتْ لَتُبْدِي بِهِ لَوْلَا أَن رَّبَطْنَا عَلَىٰ قَلْبِهَا
And in the morning, the heart of Moosa’s mother became impatient; and she would have almost certainly given away his secret had We not strengthened her heart, so that she may have faith in Our promise.

Another example of fu'aad is when Allah ta'ala says: إِنَّ السَّمْعَ وَالْبَصَرَ وَالْفُؤَادَ كُلُّ أُولَـٰئِكَ كَانَ عَنْهُ مَسْئُولًا
