Pleasure-Pain Principle [Quote - 263]

Published Categorised as Quote-Unquote, Quote-Unquote – Book III (201-300)

“Pleasure for many people is the path they pursue through life. Pain is often the price they pay for many of the pleasures they seek in this world. Islam modulates pleasure, and optimizes it, while minimizing pain and distancing it. Islam also balances the pleasure-pain principle of this world against the pleasure-pain prospect of the next world. Now, that is Islam for you in a nutshell.” (Dr. Pasha)
