Hypochondriasis

Maulana Wahiduddin Khan I The Sunday Guardian I July 02, 2023 I p.10

Hypochondria is a psychological disease. One who suffers from this disease imagines that he has one or more physical complaints, although he is not actually ill. The hypochondriac becomes convinced that he is afflicted by disease, even although it is absent.

Inna Lillah

Maulana Wahiduddin Khan I The Sunday Guardian I  June 18, 2023

It often happens in this world that man loses something, or suffers some calamity. On such occasions, Islam teaches us to willingly resign ourselves to our misfortune, taking that to be God’s decree. On all such occasions the sufferer should utter the words: ‘We belong to God and we shall return to Him.’

The Intellectual Horizon

Maulana Wahiduddin Khan I The Sunday Guardian I  June 11, 2023

There are several planes upon which the intellect functions. We can say that there are many different levels. But higher truths can be experienced by only those individuals who have a high intellectual horizon. Those with a lower intellectual horizon cannot be acquainted with higher realities. The same is true of faith.
