Willpower and its natural forces.
The activation of certain hormones or brain functions in a person’s body while committing a crime are also facts that shed light on the training of the will. Man acts with three basic forces:
1. Quwwayi Aqliyya or the force of intellect
2. Quwwayi Ghadhabiyya or the force of anger
3. Quwwayi Shahwiyya or the of the force of desires.
The importance of bringing these three elements to the point of moderation is by getting rid of excess and infringement.
Excess in the Intellect:
In its most succinct terms; over-reliance on reason, overestimating it, and immodesty. It is to idolize the intellect by not evaluating it within its real limits and abilities. It is an attempt to connect everything to the mind and its power. However, the reason is a tool. It is like a double-edged sword. It can be used for both good and evil. It is a vehicle, so the important thing is where it takes you.
Therefore, acting on the basis of reason tarred with egoism leaves a person in the arms of evil, disobedience and masiwallah (other than Allah). It destroys a person in pursuit of the most unreasonable pursuits. Pharaohs, Nimrods and Abu Jahl are the most obvious examples of this fact.
Every reason that follows its own whims is in fact wandering in the pits of heresy and falsehood. In this respect, the poet Fuzuli draws attention to this excessive weakness of the reason by saying:
I ask my reason to show me the right direction,
My reason shows me the path of heresy!
We should state that the minds deprived of the revelation’s guidance are incapable of guiding themselves, even if they are the brilliant minds of philosophers. They were able to do the most stupid things in the world while saying “we are smart” and turned millions of people away from the truth. For example, although the famous Aristotle laid the foundation for some
laws and rules of ethics, we cannot see a single individual or society that attained happiness by believing his philosophy and applying it to his life, since it is far from the guidance of divine revelation.
The hearts of philosophers have not been purified and their ideas and actions have not been matured with the support of revelation. For this reason, their systems have not been able to go any further than conference rooms or books.
