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

“When the likes and dislikes of the heart are totally sound then one's actions will follow this, in so far as one is able to act; but the fullness of the reward is due to the sincerity of the heart.”
Aisha Utz, Psychology from the Islamic Perspective

“The Prophet (ﷺ) stated that: «Every heart has a cloud covering it, with the similitude of a cloud covering a shining moon. It suddenly becomes dark when the cloud covers, but its brightness returns once the cloud has passed.» (recorded by at-Tabarâni and graded reliable by al-Albâni)
In this hadith, the Prophet (ﷺ) presents an analogy. Our hearts are likened to the moon; just as the moon is sometimes covered by clouds that conceal its light, the heart is sometimes covered by clouds of sin that cover its light. At other times, the clouds go away, and the light shines again in the heart. The light increases when we strive to engage in acts that will increase our eemân.”
Aisha Utz, Psychology from the Islamic Perspective
