Shaykh al-Islām (Ibn Taymiyyaf, God be pleased with him, said to me, when I presented to him one objection (īrād) after another,
“Do not make your heart like a sponge for objections and doubts, such that it cannot ripen but with them, but rather like polished glass, so doubts may pass over its surface but do not stay within: its purity makes you see them, and its firmness allows you to repel them.”
Or something to this effect.
I do not know of any other advice that has helped me repel doubts like this one.”
Ibn Qayyim
