Umm Isa’s Reviews > Men & the Universe: Reflections of Ibn Al-Qayyem > Status Update

I'm highlighting practically everything... Subjects like the human body, animals, nature, and the universe have been presented to us through a foul, broken, atheistic lens. Ibn Qayyim reconnects these subjects back to The Creator in the most marvelous ways, revealing their true beauty, purpose, and spiritual significance❤️

“Al-Haya which is uniquely human in contrast with all subspecies. Al-Haya is one of the best, most remarkable and fruitful moral qualities; it is, in fact, the cardinal human trait — any human devoid of this moral quality has no more of the human being than the outer appearance and physique; he has no trace of goodness about him. [...] It can be said that without Al-Haya man would cease to do any good.”

“Allah the Almighty has, in His deep wisdom, made the strength of the senses accurately adapted to our need. [...] if man’s senses were of such power as to perceive the microbes that surround him, the radiation that penetrates his body, the sounds that emanate from various microcosms, his mind would be unhinged, and he would lead an insufferable life.”
