Aql Quotes

“Intellect is directionless like a wild horse. The directions are given to it by whosoever rides it but…. a new rope is never invented here, it just ties you to the rope that it is tied with. It is also like a candle in this sense that a candle is subjected to see only under its own light.”
― Syed Buali Gillani

“The word for intellect in the Arabic language is 'aql; it can be defined in a number of ways, including reason, understanding, comprehension, discernment, insight, rationality, mind, or intellect.
This is the instinctive faculty given to humans by Allah (سبحانه وتعالى), by which we comprehend the reality of our existence and this world.”
― Aisha Utz, Psychology from the Islamic Perspective
