Excerpt from the writings of the Arab scholar and philosopher, Al-Tahawani
"Vision enlightens the Soul.
Vision casts into the soul the sacred, divine light which reveals the inner reality of being, just as physical sight brings to the mind the outer shape of things.
In its basic form, philosophers call vision the sighted rationality. When kindled by divine light and unveiled by the guidance of truth then philosophers call it the sacred power."
