In this clip Dr Israr Ahmed explains that humans have two types of intellect: one from the mind (aql-e-haywani) and one from the heart (aql-e-ruhani). The soul influences our actions, leading us towards good (nafs-e-mutmaina) or bad (nafs-e-ammara). The heart reflects the soul’s light but can become clouded by distractions. When the heart follows spiritual guidance, it finds peace; when it follows worldly desires, it leads to destruction.
