Nafs al-Mutma'inna

Nafs al-Mutma'inna symbolizes spiritual maturity and inner peace in Sufism. At this stage, a person lives in complete submission to Allah, and the self is at peace with the divine will. Nafs al-Mutma'inna emerges as a result of the training and self-criticism from previous levels of the self. A person who reaches this level maintains a balance between mind and heart while being extremely peaceful spiritually. Additionally, this stage signifies a person's ability to love themselves and their surroundings, living in peace through this love. In Islamic belief, those who are Nafs al-Mutma'inna turn to Allah with complete loyalty while approaching others with compassion and mercy. It is often a sought-after level for individuals to reach the highest degree and attain spiritual maturity.
