Nafs
"Nafs refers to the inner self and spiritual state of a person."
Spiritual & Deep Meaning
In Islamic Sufism, nafs expresses a person's spiritual identity. Different types of nafs represent various stages of nafs: Nafs-i Ammarah (the commanding self), Nafs-i Lawwamah (the self-reproaching self), and Nafs-i Mutmainnah (the tranquil self). In Sufism, the training and purification of nafs is crucial for a person's spiritual development. Educating the nafs is essential to reach spiritual maturity. Islam encourages the training of nafs and helps individuals to know themselves. In this aspect, nafs can be seen as both a test and a source of mercy.
