Quote by Jeremiah Burroughs

“It is one thing to be satisfied in one’s judgment and understanding, so as to be able to say, ‘This is the hand of God, and is what is suitable to my condition or best for me. Although I do not see the reason for the thing, yet I am satisfied in my judgment about it.’ Then it is in the thoughts of a man or woman. As my judgment is satisfied, so my thoughts are kept in order. And then it comes to the will. My will yields and submits to it; my affections are likewise kept in order, so that it goes through the whole soul.”

“Al-Kanadi states the following regarding the soul, based upon the work of Ibn al-Qayyim: The spirit is an entity which differs from the physical, tangible body. It is a higher type of luminous (or light-like) being, alive and moving, and it penetrates the limbs, circulating through them as water circulates throughout the petals of a rose, as oil circulates throughout the olive and as fire circulates throughout the burning embers of coal. One may reasonably perceive the soul filling and occupying the body; its form, though non-physical, is molded into the body's shape.”

“The day when you get command over your physical vehicle (body) is the day you learn that your vehicle is not just flesh and bones but rather it is an assembly of the physical and metaphysical planes of elements from the cosmos. A human is just not the abode of the soul but also an antenna, channel, and medium to higher dimensions and consciousness.”

“An alternative definition of psychology from the Islamic perspective would include: the study of the soul; the ensuing behavioural, emotional, and mental processes; and both the seen and unseen aspects that influence these elements. This description stems from the notion that the soul is the basic element of life. It drives the behaviour, emotions, and mental processes of the human. The human psyche is not purely psychological; its essence is spiritual and metaphysical.”
