Kitāb al-Safīnah al-Nūḥīyah fī al-sakīnah al-rūḥīyah
The damned or miserable, whose souls are darkened by their own acts rather than constituted differently from the souls of the pious.
the souls of the godfearing are in reality like the souls of the wretched, save that the godfearing man’s soul has been lit and has shone, while the soul of the wretched man has darkened and done ill.
Letters to Lucilius
Suffering people whom philosophy is obligated to help
You have promised to bring help to the shipwrecked, the captive, the sick, the needy, to those laying their heads beneath the poised axe.
