During the symposium Dr. Khalid Al-Aghbari, cardiologist, and Shiekh Wijdi Ghunaim, the prominent religious scholar, presented the major problems that infect heart both phyically and spiritually.

Al-Aghbari listed the major cardiac health problems such as rheumatic fever, hypertension, and heart attacks. Also, he mentioned the causes of these problems and the ways that should be followed to prevent their occurence as well as how to deal with them if they occur.

Al-Aghbabri maintained also that patients who have already undergone any cardiac problems or those who have any symptoms should use Aspirin because it prevents blood clotting and consequently decreases the potential of the infection.

After that, shiekh Wijdi Ghunain delivered a lecture highlighting the islamic teathings that keeps people's hearts ( in the spritual sense of the word) safe from any problems. He also emphasized on the imporatnce of the ideal dealing and intimacy between husbands and thier wives in Islam as taught by the prophet Mohammed (PBUH).
