CHAPTER 10
التَخَيُّل [Takhayyul] Fantasizing
Extensive reflection, and working a prohibited action through one’s
mind, perhaps picturing the fantasy or describing it in detail to
others is reaching the brink of active engagement: be it robbing
a bank, winning at roulette or committing adultery. ‘Fantasizing’ is
when the heart dwells on forbidden or prohibited matters and those
inspirations that do not concern it. Included in this is thinking about
the weaknesses or faults of others, whether they are present or not.
