Nafs
"Nafs represents the true self of a person; it is central to moral and spiritual development."
Spiritual & Deep Meaning
Nafs expresses a person's inner world, desires, and wishes. In Islamic culture and Sufi teachings, there are levels of nafs. Among these levels are nafs al-ammara, nafs al-lawwama, and nafs al-mutma'inna. According to the Sufi perspective, the training of nafs is essential for the development of the soul. While nafs sometimes guides a person towards goodness, it is often the source of bad desires. Therefore, it is recommended that individuals train their nafs; this is an important part of their spiritual journey.
