The 12th century Islamic theologian Ibn al-Jawzī on the virtue of the mind... The excellence of a thing is known by its fruits, and from among the fruits of the mind is knowing the Creator, may He be exalted. For the mind has contemplated the proofs [of the existence of the Creator] until it knew Him, and has contemplated the proofs of the truthfulness of the Prophets until it recognized their truthfulness. The mind has encouraged obedience to Allāh and to His messengers...With it, man reaches the highest ranks that his kind can reach from the good of this world and the hereafter, in both knowledge and actions. [Reference: Disciplining the Soul: being a translation of his Ṭibb al-Rūḥānī. Dār as-Sunnah. 2011, pp. 21 & 22]
