What is the difference between the intellect of perception and the intellect of feeling?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The student: What is the difference between feeling and the intellect of perception?
The Shaykh : No, it is between the intellect of perception and the intellect of sound judgment.
The student: What is the difference between feeling and the intellect?
The Shaykh : I do not think there is a strong difference, but feeling refers to the power of observation. A person, I mean, a living person, the heart, yes.
The student: Feeling... feeling is deficient.
The Shaykh : It is not possible for it to be deficient and complete at the same time. Sometimes, due to the strength of his observation, a person feels what others do not feel. And sometimes, as I said, feeling is just sensation. Sensation exists in animals and in rational beings, but from one aspect it is more complete. I mean, from a secondary aspect, feeling is more complete because some people have a feeling that is a psychological sensation which others do not perceive.

The student:
But those who have feared their Lord - for them are chambers, above them chambers built high
لكن الذين اتقوا لهم غرف من فوقها غرف مبنيةThe Shaykh : What is it with the mīm open?
The student:
chambers built high, beneath which rivers flow. [This is] the promise of Allah. Allah does not fail in [His] promise. (21) Do you not see that Allah sends down rain from the sky and makes it flow as springs [and rivers] in the earth; then He produces thereby crops of varying colors; then they dry and you see them turned yellow; then He makes them [scattered] debris. Indeed in that is a reminder for those of understanding.
غرف مبنية تجرى من تحتها الأنهار وعد الله لا يخلف الله الميعاد * ألم تر أن الله أنزل من السماء ماء فسلكه ينابيع فى الارض ثم يخرج به زرعا مختلفا ألوانه ثم يهيج فتراه مصفرا ثم يجعله حطاما إن فى ذلك لذكرى لأولى الألبابThe Shaykh : But, if Allah wills, you will take a course, my brother Abdullah. Is his name Abdullah? Khan. You study in the mosque, meaning the Qur'an.
