harakat fi’l-kamm Quantitative change in a body; it is of four kinds: when the quantitative change in a body is due to nourishment or lack of it is called namuw (growth) or dhubul (decay or dimunition); and when a change is independent of the factor of nourishment or lack of it, it is either takhalkhul (q.v.), i.e. expansion, e.g. of water into steam takathuf (q.v.), i.e. compression or condensation, e.g. of steam vapours into water.

harakat fi’l-kaif Qualitative change in a body from one state or condition into another, e.g. water becoming hot after it was cold; also called istihalah (q.v.). harakat fi’l-wad‘ Movement on account of the change in the position of a body, e.g. a man who is sitting suddenly lies down; sometimes identified with al-harakat al-mustadirah (q.v.), e.g.

the movement of a millstone in a mill which is a movement within the surrounding surface or space of a body of the millstone and not from one place to another. al-harakat al-qasriyah Forced or constrained movement, for example, of a stone thrown upwards; opposed to al-harakat al-iradiyah (q.v.). al-harakat al-mustadirah Lit.

"the circular movement"; technically the movement of body within the surrounding surface or space of that body as distinguished from harakat fi’l-ain (q.v.) which is a movement from place (makan) to another; this movement is peculiar to the celestial spheres in the Ptolemaic astronomy.

al-harakat al-mustaqimah Linear or unidirectional movement peculiar to bodies in the world of elements; contrasted with al-harakat al-mustadirah (q.v.) peculiar to the heavenly bodies in the world of celestial spheres. al-hiss al-mushtarik The common sense (sensus communis) located in the first ventricle of the front brain; it combines all the forms of the sensible objects that are received through the five external senses (al-hawas al-khamsah, q.v.).

It may be said that it is a faculty in which all the sense-perceptions are so coalesced that they assume a single form. This is how when we see the yellow colour of honey, we can internally tell that it is sweet, good-smelling and fluid; true, we have our past experiences of the taste, smell and touch of honey without sensing them again has become possible only through the functioning of the faculty of common sense. hissah Case (see Asfar, 1: 43) (AnAc) hukm A proposition, i.e.
