Abstract
Modern literary aesthetics, although rooted in traditional rhetoric, is associated with a variety of examples, approaches, and sciences. In the aesthetics of literary works, explaining the beauty, its effects, and understanding of the audience is one of the main goals. The two concepts of "sound” and "sick" hearts are central words and key terms in the Holy Quran and Al-Sahifa al-Sajjadiyya. In these two texts, especially the Holy Quran, using literary devices and methods, including simile, metaphor, apostrophe, limitation, emphasis, and other rhetoric elements; benefiting from a sound heart and applying its principles are considered as one of the causes of moral development and providing mental health of human beings. And in the case of deviation and inclination to the sick heart, the grounds for the inclination to moral vices, mental illness, and mental health disorders and abnormalities increase. In fact, self-control, self-actualization, flexibility, appropriate social behavior, feeling good, happiness, reducing anxiety, and other things are the aesthetic results of the concept of a sound heart. In addition, self-loathing, unsociability, anxiety, depression, suspicion, and others are among the aesthetic results of the concept of the sick heart. This research deals with descriptive and analytical aesthetics and the method of designing these two terms and explaining their effects and results.
