“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.”

“In those eyes, you’ll see what I see,
There’s so much calmness,
There’s so much vastness,
There’s so much mess,
There’s so much clarity,
I find myself roaming around,
I find myself losing,
Yet those eyes never look away,
I gaze and gaze at ease,
Lost in their mesmerizing tease.”

“A friend once asked me, Lebo, what kind of a woman do you want? My response to him was, “She must be sensual enough to feel into my soul’s desires otherwise it’s not going to work.”
