Big souls
Souls differ in capacity and narrow, as do rooms, homes, and places; Among the people are those who narrow themselves until they are like a tailor, and some of them expand themselves until they include the world and what is in it, so that he is a mercy for all people, just as the master of Adam's son, peace be upon him, was.
Souls are narrowed by ignorance and a lack of knowledge and experience, then with knowledge and experience, and before that faith, it expands and becomes a bright soul that loves people, goodness and beauty.
And the benefit of a good education is the expansion of souls, so every subject you learn increases the breadth of yourself, as well as increases your beneficial interests, so if we read history, for example, our sense of the different generations increased in succession, and our souls connected with the world over the ages, and were related to the great men in some way, so that was all an important element The stinging of souls, as well as every art we learn, and every science we master helps expand our souls; And it makes our concern and attention great and useful.
And just as a person's soul expands with his knowledge of something, so does his power and influence, so the engineer sees in buildings what we did not see, and reads about their stones, timber, and conditions unless we read; And it comes into existence from projects and designs that we could not, and every owner of an art who is perfect for his art and knowledge has measured that.
There are many ways to expand the psyche, the most common of which is the practice of business and science with various types of work and types of science. Practice and experiences develop imagination and increase production.
And whenever a person touches it and contacts it, it is a part of himself, for your house in which you live, your furniture, your money and your possessions, all of this unites with yourself and be part of it. Praise yourself, and so on.
The same applies to morale. One of the forms of expansion and happiness of the soul is that it connects with the same, so that you feel the capacity after the distress and feel the pleasure of responding between two souls, and this is the secret of pure friendship and caring brotherhood.
That is why the work of the Prophets and those after them were reformers: unifying the purpose among the souls, so their call would be for the unification of God, so that the souls would unite around a higher goal, so that the followers would become in an emotional unity, so their souls expanded and their purposes united It comes from these souls and they are collectively the wonders of sacrifice, altruism, and love for others.
What reformers and reformers seek is the achievement of social and political systems that have lofty purposes and noble goals, so that people may unite around them, purify their souls and combine their forces on them.
Rather, humankind is set aside from the rebirth and union of grim confessions and national conflicts that provoke shortness of breath and constriction.
Among the advantages of religion is the expansion of souls, which Islam has expressed with joy, and perhaps in your life you have encountered people whose chests are narrowed, and they are overcome by the feeling that their fortunes are miserable, that success is not allied with them, and that whenever they take a blocked path in their faces.
Religion is sufficient to remove this feeling, explain the chest and expand the soul. The believer feels deeply that the hand of God is with him, and that he is supportive and will overcome all difficulties and obstacles, and he feels the erosion of dams and borders in his path, and he feels the lack of time and space by including the world of the unseen to the world of martyrdom and the connection of life The other in the first life, for he is broad in hope, his gaze is not obstructed by an obstacle, and he is drawn to an upper world in which there is happiness; And it contains contentment; And there is tranquility.
The true religion changes the psyche by moving it from a narrow world to a vast and unlimited world, such as what happened in those who worshiped idols in the pre-Islamic era when they moved to Islam. The widest of it in the second (while they are Muslims), and as the religion advised them, the capacity of the soul benefited them the strength of the soul; It is impossible for the ignorant people to conquer what they conquered and to win what they did, if they remained on their first religion.
Religion is the one that opened the horizon before them, and filled them with a spirit of action. Rather, it is the one who changed their attitude towards life, taught them courage, forgiveness, generosity, and inherited faith after doubt and reassurance after anxiety. Customs and traditions that paralyze the mind and restrict the soul; When you believed in one God above all things pleased with good and angered by disbelief, evil and corruption, the souls rose to greatness
