What does Aql mean? Shaykh Yasir Qadhi explores the linguistic and Islamic meaning.
Aql means something that reigns over us during times of danger, foolishness and stupidity. The Aqil is a good worshiper of Allah.
Everyone who sins in a state of ignorance and then repents, Allah will forgive them. This reasserts the fact that a Jahil or ignorant person is one who commits a sin and not the one who is blessed with Aql.
The purpose of Aql is to recognize the truth and to shy away from it is utter foolishness, no matter what is the length and breadth of one’s achievements.
The transcript describes the meaning behind the term "ar serv" in Islam, which refers to the use of animals to harness human experience. The title also describes the use of "ar serv" in religious practices, including incest and pride.

What does Apple mean? It's very interesting that the word Arcola linguistically, it means to rein in
an animal to harness an animal. Like, you know, animals, they have something around their their
heads and they are harnessed, you pull them back. That is what after that means? What does human
intellect have to do with harnessing the purpose of alcohol is to rein us in during times of danger,
to control us from acting foolishly and stupidly. To make us act in an intelligent manner, aka pulls
us back from falling to our deaths, aka pulls us back from doing that which is foolish to do. And

If you are a worshipper of a law you are after you're smart. And if you reject a law, if you commit
sins, if you don't act in an intelligent manner, you're acting foolishly. And that is why for
example, in the Quran, instead of the moon so the Tabarak When the angels asked the people of genom
How did you end up here? What caused you to end up here? What did they say? Oh, lacuna. Nest smart.
Oh Na K to na Coronavirus herbicide. If we only heard the message or we only thought nothing, we

stupid, literally giant, because if he were intelligent, he wouldn't disobey Allah. That is the
meaning of intelligence in Islam, to act in accordance with the commandments of Allah subhanho wa
Taala. And to live one's life obeying Allah subhana wa Tada. This is intelligence. And to reject
that
