Quotes by Aisha Utz  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“The term 'psyche', in fact, comes from the Greek word for soul. From the perspective of Islam, humans are dualistic, possessing both a body and a soul. The body is only a vehicle for the soul. The condition of our soul, and the spiritual level that we attain, affects our thoughts, feelings and behaviour.”
Aisha Utz, Psychology from the Islamic Perspective

“While certain aspects of personality are genetic, experience and the choices that we make also shape who we are. As mentioned earlier, Allah (سبحانه وتعالى) created humans with the potential for both good and evil. The test for every human being is to choose which of these characteristics we will support and develop, and which we will attempt to control or eliminate.”
Aisha Utz, Psychology from the Islamic Perspective

“However, inspiration may also refer to secretly informing someone of something. In the Qur'an, Allah gives us the example of the mother of Moses (عليه السّلام). She became very distressed when Moses was born because at that time, Pharaoh was killing all of the baby boys born to the Children of Israel. She was very worried and confused, not knowing how to protect him. Allah (سبحانه وتعالى) inspired into her heart and mind the action she should take.”
