Abstract: Human beings, famously named as spiritual beings in the knowledge age, face social and behavioral problems due to the development of information technology and scientific innovations. All the way, all these innovations make human beings busier. In comparison, the religious essence is to optimize human potential. It forms human traits. The objective of the study was to explore religious beliefs, specifically the Quranic insights about the concept of Qalb (heart) and its dynamic role for transformational learning. The Holy Quran addresses the cognition, affection, and spirituality of Qalb. Qalb's original notion could help pupils think, perceive, feel, and act differently. Qualitative research method was used and it is a kind of exploratory research. Researchers used content analysis technique to evaluate the concept of heart and its role in transformational learning. Researchers collected the secondary data for content analysis and the NVivo is also used to analyze the said data. We used primary and secondary data. The analysis indicates that the heart contributes significantly to feelings, understandings, memories, and an individual's relationship with the Divine, which molds our perspective on life, gives significance to our emotions and makes humans more adaptable to life-changing processes.
