The imaginative faculty in the soul or the mutakhayyilah…
““The imaginative faculty in the soul or the mutakhayyilah is by nature crooked; it is capable of imagining things that are not real. Which is why it needs to be guided by Revelation, and evaluated against those who have obtained Aqal Mustafad or acquired intellect, whose intellect is always in the direction of the Alam Malakut, and in constant communication with God.””
