Nobody can tell the mysterious nature of Human being as it's Creator.
Allah says "Should He not know,- He that created? and He is the One
that understands the finest mysteries (and) is well-acquainted (with
them)." [Surah al-Mulk (64): verse 14]. Here I present some of inner
nature of human soul as presented by Imam Ibnul Qayyem -may Allah
have mercy on him- in various of his books.
According to a tradition of our Prophet -peace be upon him- "The
most truthful names are Cultivator and Concerned" [1] This tradition
goes deep inside the human being and declares that every human being
does not stay static, rather he is dynamic and always there are things
in his mind. He continuously thinks and gets concerned with so many
matters. However, there are few concerns that goes by his mind without
much attention, and there are other matters that attracts him much, and
over repeated thinking, this matter becomes an idea in his mind, then,
this idea develops into some action (cultivation in the hadith), and
over repeated action, it turns into habit.
