The Prophetic way of purgation of the innerself is a detailed yet precise description by Hazrat Sakhi Sultan Mohammad Najib-ur-Rehman. This book refers to the way the Prophet choose to purge the souls of his sacred Companions i.e. through his Divine sight. This book is exactly what a true seeker needs to read if he successfully wants to get his soul purged.
The document discusses the Islamic concept of God. It provides several key points:
1) God in Islam is strictly monotheistic - He alone has absolute and independent existence. Everything else exists only through His will and power.
2) While humans cannot fully comprehend God, the Quran describes many of God's attributes like being the Creator, All-Knowing, All-Powerful, and Most Merciful.
3) God shows guidance to humanity through prophets and revealed scriptures. However, people still have freedom to accept or reject guidance. God is also Forgiving to those who repent.
The document discusses the Islamic concept of nafs (soul or self). It explains that nafs refers to the inner self, psyche, ego, and wants/impulses of a person. There are three main types of nafs:
1) Nafs al-Ammarah - The commanding soul prone to evil desires if not for God's mercy.
2) Nafs al-Lawwamah - The soul that blames, engaged in inner struggle against sinful forces.
3) Nafs al-Mutma'innah - The soul at peace, tranquil and content while submitting to God's will.
Developing one's nafs involves progressing through
This document describes the second spiritual station of the soul, called the "reproachful self" (an-Nafs al-Lawamma).
In this station, the soul recognizes good and evil but still struggles with attributes like arrogance, self-satisfaction, hidden pride, love of appetites and high status. It knows its previous traits from the first station were ugly but is not fully free of them. The soul performs righteous acts but sometimes seeks praise, not doing them solely for God. This station is dangerous as the person's sincerity can still contain hidden pride. To progress, one must remove all desire for others' recognition and perform acts only to please God.

Rizq, or sustenance, is provided by Allah alone. While some suffer material poverty, this is part of Allah's divine plan to test humanity. Both the rich and poor are accountable for how they respond to their circumstances. The rich should fulfill their obligations to pay zakat and charity to help the less fortunate, while the poor should remain patient and trusting in Allah. True poverty is of the soul, not the material kind, and all situations are designed by Allah to examine our faith and obedience to Him.
“What is known with regard to how this word is used
linguistically is that its usage is limited to when the love is
sexual, such as when a person loves another person whom they can enjoy [sexually], such as a woman or a child. This term is not used to describe a person’s love for their children, relatives,country, wealth, religion, and so forth. It is also not used for the love of a person towards intangible things, such as loving a person for their knowledge, religiousness, bravery, generosity,
good conduct, and so forth.Rather, it is well-known regarding the term Al-`Ishq is that it is used for love that results in sexual relations. A person who is suffering from Al-`Ishq wants to satisfy themselves by looking at and listening to the one who is beloved in this fashion. Also, by making love to them through a kiss, feeling, hugging, or by having sex.” - Ibn Taimiyyah

This document provides an introduction and overview of the rules regarding different types of water that are considered pure according to Islamic law. It discusses seven types of water that are considered pure, including rainwater, sea water, river water, well water, water from snow/hail, and fountain water. It further categorizes waters and discusses when mixing of substances causes water to lose its purity status. The document provides technical definitions and guidelines regarding quantities and mixtures. It aims to elucidate the correct rulings for purification according to sacred texts and scholarly consensus.
This document is an introduction to a book on Islamic jurisprudence related to purification rituals. It discusses the types of water that can be used for purification according to sacred texts, including rainwater, sea water, river water, well water, water from snow/hail, and spring water. It describes categories of water - pure and purifying, pure but slightly offensive, and pure but not purifying for ritual impurity. The document explains when water becomes "used" and that liquids from trees are not considered water for purification rituals due to complete mixing. It concludes that cleansing liquids can be joined with absolute water to purify intrinsic impurity.
This document is an introduction to a book about the evils of the tongue. It discusses how success is defined in Islam as purifying one's soul to earn Paradise and avoid Hellfire. While material pursuits lead to failure, following Allah's guidance by obeying His commands and avoiding prohibitions leads to success.
The misuse of one's tongue can negate efforts to achieve spiritual success, as evidenced by hadiths of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him). He warned that evil words may lead one to the depths of Hell, and that controlling one's tongue is key to entering Paradise. Due to the dangers of the tongue, the book aims to study its major evils so readers can restrain it
The document discusses the difference between the form and reality of sacred law and spirituality. It states that the form involves outward adherence to religious rulings, while the reality involves deeper spiritual perfection. It argues that the "greater jihad" refers to struggling against one's physical desires and maintaining spiritual equilibrium, not just struggling against the self. Overall it aims to elucidate the stages of spiritual progress from outward adherence to inward truth.
This document discusses the dangers of lustful love from an Islamic perspective. It describes a conversation where a young man expresses his intense love and devotion for a woman. The speaker counsels focusing on righteous love as described in the Quran and hadith. Righteous love includes loving Allah and the Prophet Muhammad. Lustful love stems from not fearing Allah and is dangerous, often leading to sin, family problems, loss of faith and dignity. The speaker lists many negative consequences of giving in to lustful desires.

If you are interested in a book consisting of Iqbal’s poetry about Sufism, then this is the perfect book for you. It has been designed for everyone who wants to cherish the poetry of Iqbal but is not acquainted with Urdu or Persian.
In the realm of Faqr, one has to die before death i.e. the death of self (nafs) is eternal life for the soul. It is where the fire of Divine love circles one's inward such that the passion takes the person to behold the Reality. The litany that does it all is in reality the greatest name of Allah (Ism al-Azam or Ism-e-Allah Zaat) but it works when the blessed hands of the perfect spiritual guide grant it who is the Universal Divine Man (Mard-e-Mumin or al-Insan al-Kamil). He is hidden in the maze of this world where one has to tear the veils of loving anyone other than Allah. To reach the Divine, first one has to reach his spiritual court.
Iqbal, the sagacious philosopher’s poetry is brimming with all of it. The book in hand not only has the original poetry in Urdu and Persian but for ease of readers its transliteration is also written along with a detailed explanation in English. Iqbal’s point of view is parallel to many other Sufis who are also quoted.

This document discusses the beneficence and grandeur of the People of the Cloak, which refers to Prophet Muhammad, Fatimah, Ali, Hasan, and Husayn. It recounts a hadith where the Prophet gathered these individuals under his cloak and the Quranic verse 33:33 was revealed, referring to them as the People of the Cloak and stating that Allah intends to purify them of all impurities. It highlights the elevated status of these sacred personalities in Islam.
The Rashidun Caliphs are the eminent stars of the Holy Prophet who led Muslims not just physically but also spiritually. The policies and rules they implemented in their respective eras were the true reflection of the teachings of the Holy Prophet. This is why the Rashidun era was the golden era of the Muslims. Implementing the teachings of Prophet Mohammad, made them not only the pioneers in introducing the concept of the welfare state, but they also set its exemplary foundation for the world to follow. This book is unique because unlike other history books it provides proofs of Imam Hassan as the fifth rightly guided Caliph.

Lucid Dreaming: Understanding the Risks and Benefits
The ability to control one's dreams or for the dreamer to be aware that he or she is dreaming. This process, called lucid dreaming, has some potential risks as well as many fascinating benefits. However, many people are hesitant to try it initially for fear of the potential dangers. This article aims to clarify these concerns by exploring both the risks and benefits of lucid dreaming.
The Benefits of Lucid Dreaming
Lucid dreaming allows a person to take control of their dream world, helping them overcome their fears and eliminate nightmares. This technique is particularly useful for mental health. By taking control of their dreams, individuals can face challenging scenarios in a controlled environment, which can help reduce anxiety and increase self-confidence.
Addressing Common Concerns
Physical Harm in Dreams Lucid dreaming is fundamentally safe. In a lucid dream, everything is a creation of your mind. Therefore, nothing in the dream can physically harm you. Despite the vividness and realness of the dream experience, it remains entirely within your mental landscape, posing no physical danger.
Mental Health Risks Concerns about developing PTSD or other mental illnesses from lucid dreaming are unfounded. As soon as you wake up, it's clear that the events experienced in the dream were not real. On the contrary, lucid dreaming is often seen as a therapeutic tool for conditions like PTSD, as it allows individuals to reframe and manage their thoughts.
Potential Risks of Lucid Dreaming
While generally safe, lucid dreaming does come with a few risks as well:
Mixing Dream Memories with Reality Long-term lucid dreamers might occasionally confuse dream memories with real ones, creating false memories. This issue is rare and preventable by maintaining a dream journal and avoiding lucid dreaming about real-life people or places too frequently.
Escapism Using lucid dreaming to escape reality can be problematic if it interferes with your daily life. While it is sometimes beneficial to escape and relieve the stress of reality, relying on lucid dreaming for happiness can hinder personal growth and productivity.
Feeling Tired After Lucid Dreaming Some people report feeling tired after lucid dreaming. This tiredness is not due to the dreams themselves but often results from not getting enough sleep or using techniques that disrupt sleep patterns. Taking breaks and ensuring adequate sleep can prevent this.
Mental Exhaustion Lucid dreaming can be mentally taxing if practiced excessively without breaks. It’s important to balance lucid dreaming with regular sleep to avoid mental fatigue.
Lucid dreaming is safe and beneficial if done with caution. It has many benefits, such as overcoming fear and improving mental health, and minimal risks. There are many resources and tutorials available for those interested in trying it.

Introduction
Mantra Yoga is an exact science. "Mananat trayate iti mantrah- by the Manana (constant thinking or recollection) of which one is protected or is released from the round of births and deaths, is Mantra." That is called Mantra by the meditation (Manana) on which the Jiva or the individual soul attains freedom from sin, enjoyment in heaven and final liberation, and by the aid of which it attains in full the fourfold fruit (Chaturvarga), i.e., Dharma, Artha, Kama and Moksha. A Mantra is so called because it is achieved by the mental process.

Astronism, Cosmism and Cosmodeism: the space religions espousing the doctrine...Cometan
This lecture created by Brandon Taylorian (aka Cometan) specially for the CESNUR Conference held Bordeaux in June 2024 provides a brief introduction to the legacy of religious and philosophical thought that Astronism emerges from, namely the discourse on transcension started assuredly by the Cosmists in Russia in the mid-to-late nineteenth century and then carried on and developed by Mordecai Nessyahu in Cosmodeism in the twentieth century. Cometan also then provides some detail on his story in founding Astronism in the early twenty-first century from 2013 along with details on the central Astronist doctrine of transcension. Finally, the lecture concludes with some contributions made by space religions and space philosophy and their influences on various cultural facets in art, literature and film.

Lição 12: João 15 a 17 – O Espírito Santo e a Oração Sacerdotal | 2° Trimestr...OmarBarrezueta1
Esta lição é uma oportunidade para discutirmos um assunto multo mal interpretado no contexto cristão, que é o fato de algumas pessoas pensarem que o conhecer Jesus é ter a nossa vida mudada em todas as áreas, como se Deus tivesse o dever de transportar-nos deste mundo para um outro mundo onde muitas coisas maravilhosas que desejamos seriam reais. No entanto, a nossa fé não nos tira do mundo após nos convertermos; ao invés disso, permanecemos vivendo sob as mesmas circunstâncias. O propósito de Deus não é nos tirar do mundo, mas nos livrar das ações do maligno (Jo 17.15), Sendo assim, a vida eterna não significa estar fora da realidade deste mundo, mas conhecer o único Deus verdadeiro (Jo 17.3).

7. PREFACE
Recognizing oneself, knowing who one is originally with no
corruption of the inner self, I believe is the sole reason of
one‟s existence, to understand the purest state of soul free
from all evil of the baser self. The curiosity to get to know
these secrets is found only in few chosen ones who will
eventually end up having the vision and union of Allah
alongwith the presence in the Holy Prophet‟s assembly
which is the only thing in the universe that can give a soul
complete satisfaction. For which the purgation of soul is
necessary and no matter how hard one strives they cannot
fulfill this beautiful but challenging duty on their own
without the supervision of a perfect spiritual guide. This
book explains with perfect dedicated examples how the
purgation of the innerself can take place the way of Prophet
Mohammad Sall‟Allahu alayhi wa‟alihi wasallam. This book
is a huge leap forward for me in my spiritual journey by
showing concern and devotion which would never have been
achievable without the care and guidance of my spiritual
guide. In whose absence I am nothing but just another
worthless speck of existence in the universe. I am ever
thankful to him.

8. In the Name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
THE NAFS1
AND ITS DISEASES
The present era is the era of worshipping nafs. The majority is
busy in worshipping nafs (idols of sensual desires) instead of
Allah. The nafs is a veil between man and Allah and if this veil
is removed, no haze remains between the two. This condition is
prevailed at the stage of sanctified heart or Nafs-e-Mutmaina2
.
Hypocrisy, malice, love for the world, lust, animosity,
malignancy, jealousy, anger, gluttony, desire for worldly respect
and status, unlawful sexual relations, greed for wealth, avarice,
materialism, lying, slander, objection to Allah, oblivion, pride,
egoism, conceit, selfishness, backbiting, prejudice, nationalism,
sectarianism, sect glorifying, barbarism and atrocities3
, love for
your origin/caste/domain, love for your religious/political
leader(s) may they be Satan‟s allies, are all sensual diseases.
Keep in mind that Satan too diverts attention towards evil with
the help of nafs. Purification of innerself is possible but the
purification of Satan is not. Allah, in the Holy Quran, has
declared a person successful who purifies the nafs by relieving
from spiritual diseases with the guidance of the perfect spiritual
guide and only then a person‟s worship is acceptable in the
Divine court. Allah says:
Meaning: “He has certainly succeeded who purifies himself.” (Al-
Ala-14)
1
The baser innerself (lower self/ethereal self) which traps in worldly desires and prevents
from progressing spiritually towards Allah.
2
The satisfied self which never inclines towards sin or worldliness.
3
For detail study of diseases of nafs read the book “Purification of innerself in Sufisim”.
9. 8
Meaning: “He has succeeded who purifies it (baser-self).” (Ash-
Shams-9)
Running after worldly desires is basically worshipping baser
self which is also a type of idol worshipping. Letting worldly
desires (evil, diseases) take control is polytheism and Allah has
announced it to be the greatest idolatry. It is stated in the Quran:
Meaning: “Have you (Prophet Mohammad) ever seen someone
who has taken as his god his (own) desire.” (Al-Jathiyah-23)
Meaning: “Have you (Prophet Mohammad) seen the one who
treats his own desires as though they are his god?” (Al-Furqan-43)
Allama Iqbal rehmat Allah alayh4
too points at this:
Meaning: When I prostrated with all the idols in my heart even
the soil rejected it and stated that what reward and proximity of
Allah you expect from this salat (prayer) when you are indeed a
polytheist in your heart.
Fighting nafs and sanctifying soul has been regarded as the
greatest Jihad by Prophet Mohammad sall‟Allahu alayhi wa‟alihi
wasallam5
. When soul is freed from all the diseases and idols, it
is cleansed. Until and unless all the diseases, evil, material
pleasures and lust6
do not vacate innerself, one‟s nafs is not
purified but once it is done and one is free of all corruption, heart

and soul are enlightened with Divine light and one finally gets
occupied with solely the worship of Lord.
But what is this nafs?
Allah has created the human inner baser-self really strange. It
is the abode of desires, it gives birth to all sorts of evil wishes
and rebellious thoughts. It is the one that compels humans to go
against Allah‟s orders and the one that acts wild at the time of
extreme lust. In rage it gets violent, pays no heed to the
distinction between lawful and the unlawful when hungry and
when it is contented it becomes a rebel, stubborn and proud. In
times of trouble it mourns impatiently. In short, the human nafs
can never be entirely happy. It is always prepared to drive
humans towards mischief and heinousness, but the one who gets
control over it can reach the level of “union with Allah”. To kill
it, is exceptionally tough but only death of the nafs is life of the
heart. What is nafs? The nafs is such a thief in the human body
which does not let a person travel towards Allah. Nafs is the
greatest veil between man and Allah. For the human entity, nafs
and Satan are two such powers that can always lead the human
nature to sin. When Satan got cursed because of not having
bowed before Adam, he swore to mislead Adam and his children
and to have enmity with them. When Adam‟s idol was prepared,
Satan egoistically and with jealousy spat on it. This spit landed
on Adam‟s navel which caused the birth of nafs in his being. The
nafs is Satan‟s ancient weapon and the trench of nafs in Adam‟s
children is what he uses to mislead human beings. However if
this same nafs comes under the control of humans rather than
that of Satan then the veil between Allah and his Slave is
removed. Nafs consists of four stages or conditions:
Nafs-e-Ammarah (The ill commanding inner self)
Nafs-e-Lawamah (The repenting inner self)
Nafs-e-Mulhima (The inspiring innerself which warns before
committing sin)
11. 10
Nafs-e-Mutmaina (The satisfied self which never inclines
towards sin or worldliness)
Gradually, in the company of the perfect and accomplished
spiritual guide, when the seeker progresses in the invocation and
contemplation of Ism-e-Allah Zaat7
the purgation of the innerself
continues. First comes Nafs-e-Ammarah, which loosely translated
means; the ill commanding inner self or the baser self. It is so
called because it always drives humans towards sin and foul
deeds. Like Allah says in surah Yusuf:
Meaning: “Indeed, Nafs-e-Ammarah is a persistent enjoiner of
evil”. (Yusuf-53)
This particular type of nafs belongs to disbelievers, people
who associate partners with Allah, hypocrites, transgressors,
debauchees and desirers of world. If it is not corrected or
rectified properly, then with its rebelliousness and disobedience
its evil keeps on growing and from human it turns to animal and
from animal, to beast rather to Satan. In such a situation, the
internal disease of nafs becomes incurable and it ultimately dies.
Sultan Bahoo states about Nafs-e-Ammarah:
1. “Nafs (Ammarah) is the king in the realm of existence and
Satan is its prime minister who all the time is planning on
clever tricks and self-praising.” (Kaleed-ul-Tauheed Kalan)
2. “Nafs (Ammarah) has three Arabic letters: „ ‟ (N), „ ‟ (F),
„ ‟ (S). The letter N stands for (Neeyat) bad intentions
(Nalaiq), incompetent, non-seeker of Allah, deterioration of
the faith, imperfect and disliked. The letter F stands for
fraud, mischievous, one who brawls, mischief causing and
wicked. The letter S for (Sakht) rigid, one whose opposition
towards God is tougher than iron and rock. This is the reality
7
The Divine name which represents the Divine Essence and all Divine attributes.
12. 11
of Nafs-e-Ammarah whose owners are unbelievers, hypocrites,
liars and despotic, world desiring people.
3. In a Punjabi couplet, Sultan Bahoo states about Nafs-e-
Ammarah:
Explanation: The face and condition of Nafs-e-Ammarah is
like that of a small black dog who all the time barks of
starvation and asks for delicious food to eat and drink.
(Always wanders in order to fulfill and complete his desires
and lusts) it is fortified on the left side of the heart and
whenever the chance arises (the heart deprived of Allah’s
invocation) it starts to attack. This nafs is such unlucky and a
despotic one that only Allah can keep its venom from
invading the soul.
If the correction and purgation of this nafs is initiated, it
gradually internally succeeds towards Alam-e-Malakut8
and leading
a pure life the nafs upgrades from Ammarah to Lawamah.
Lawamah means the one who reproves. In the sense that the nafs
reproves, when indulging in sinful deeds, it makes the person
regret because this nafs has been bestowed upon, unseen favors
and Divine guidance as help from Allah, hence on behaving
sinfully it makes the person penitent. Such a nafs always
remembers death, the Day of Judgment and requite. Therefore,
Allah, as reported by His dearest Prophet, swears to this nafs as
that of Day of Judgment and says:
8
This is a realm in Sufi cosmology. This is the spiritual world of symbolic forms of
bodies which cannot be touched, like that we see in dreams.
13. 12
Meaning: “I swear by the Day of Judgment and I swear by the
Nafs-e-Lawamah (the repenting innerself).” (Al-Qiyamah 1-2)
Afterwards when this nafs is further corrected, it advances to
Mulhima. This nafs with the help of Divine favors, warns the
person before sinning and makes him think twice that he should
be afraid of Allah so as to refrain himself from indulging in
sinful acts. Allah has explained the idea of such a nafs in the
following verse:
Meaning: “And for such as had entertained the fear of standing
before their Lord‟s (tribunal) and had restrained (their) soul
from lower desires, their abode will be the garden.” (Naziat 40-41)
This Nafs-e-Mulhima stops the person from sinning and doing
wrong deeds either with the help of the unseen Divine favors
while he is acting upon his planned sin, or through Divine
intuition, which can be done in various ways. At times holds
back the person by having proper argument and thoughts in the
mind. Some have intuitions by the unseen, silent revelations, and
at times the person is informed in his dream which inculcates in
him a fear of Allah so he keeps himself from being part of sinful
acts. After which when the nafs is further purged and succeeds
inwardly, it becomes “Nafs-e-Mutmaina”. Hence, it gets rid of
the eternal looter that is Satan, sets itself free from its diseases
and finds shelter in the form of life goals that it has reached by
fulfilling its spiritual purposes of existence. Which is the stage of
(from fear and sorrows to a level of peace).
14. 13
Meaning: “Unquestionably, (for) the friends of Allah there will
be no fear concerning them, nor will they grieve”. (Yunus-62)
A traveler on this path with such a nafs gets close to Allah and
becomes His friend. Allah is pleased with him and he is pleased
with Allah. Allah states about this person with Nafs-e-Mutmaina:
Meaning: “O’ reassured soul (Nafs-e-Mutmaina), return to your
Lord, well-pleased and pleasing (to Him), and enter among My
(righteous) servants and enter My paradise (of union).” (Al-Fajr 27-30)
Such pure nafs only belongs to Prophets, Sufis and Saints. This
internal attribute of nafs is very high and elevated. And all these
levels are reached through invocation (zikr) and contemplation of
Allah‟s personal name (Ism-e-Allah Zaat) and company of
Murshid Kamil Akmal Noor-ul-Huda9
or else the nafs cannot
upgrade to this level only through physical worship no matter
how hard one tries. Rather the nafs adds to its ego and pride if
physical worship is done in excess. The example of Satan is a
common one.
Sultan Bahoo mentions about Nafs-e-Mutmaina:
Nafs-e-Mutmaina too has three Arabic letters N ( (, F ( ),
S ( ). The letter N ( ) for (Nalad) someone with fear of
Allah in his heart, day and night, (Nahi) is the one who does
not indulge in forbidden acts rather spreads virtuousness,
(Nan-e-Hilal) is the person who earns lawful money and
spends it in a lawful way, someone who is obedient to Allah
and does not show off, whose faith is intact, is the person who
has been helped by Divine guidance, who contemplates and
invocates Ism-e-Allah Zaat with which his soul is engrossed
9
The perfect and accomplished spiritual guide who possesses the Divine light of guidance.
15. 14
in meditation, Marifat (Divine knowledge), observation of Noor
which is Divine light. When Noor of Allah fully penetrates into
the nafs, it is elevated to the stage of Mutmaina, indeed Allah is
the most Beneficent, the most Merciful.
The letter F ( ) for (Fakhr-e-Deen) one who differentiates
between infidelity and Islam. A Divine quotation is: “This is
because the Lord of Momins (the faithfuls) is Allah and the
lord of infidels is no one.” People with Nafs-e-Mutmaina,
after experiencing the Truth, are designated at the level of
Haq-ul-Yaqeen10
and the possessor of this Faith is one who
has been engrossed in the Truth and is not diverted to what is
false. The Truth is Islam and infidelity is falsity. The building
blocks of Islam are Faqr and Divine knowledge and that of
infidelity is worldly wealth. The corruption of religion is
initiated because of love for the world, and the foundation
for righteousness is love for Allah.
The letter S ( ) means ser rasti rah ba
Istaghraq Elah someone travelling on the right path, absorbed
in contemplation of Ism-e-Allah Zaat who apparently is busy
in physical worship but inwardly annihilated in Allah. Only
Prophets, Faqeers and a few Saints have such perfect nafs
with these beautiful attributes. (Kaleed-ul-Tauheed Kalan)
Nafs-e-Mutmaina is a ride which has access to the Divine
Secret and this visual experience leads to oneness of Allah
(Tauheed).
Meaning: The obedient nafs (Mutmaina) is better of a friend
than one‟s dear life. What do ignorant know of the nafs? (Ain-
ul-Faqr)
10
Faith gained by experience. This is the final level of faith.
16. 15
Sultan Bahoo expresses about Nafs-e-Mutmaina in one of his
Punjabi couplet:
Explanation: This nafs now has become our friend by
upgrading to Mutmaina and is now with us on the Sirat-e-
Mustqeem (path of righteousness). Even though this same
nafs at the stage of Ammarah had turned many scholars,
devotees and noble men into seekers and desirers of the worldly
riches and fame. Through contemplation and invocation of
Ism-e-Allah Zaat given by the perfect spiritual guide, this
nafs made the journey all the way from Ammarah to
Mutmaina. There come many harsh obstacles, stations and
paths in the way of Faqr, it is not like a mothers‟s cuisine
where you will be served without having to make any effort.
He also states:
When a seeker is at the level of Shariat11
in Alam-e-Nasut,
his nafs is Nafs-e-Ammarah so Allah orders him to kill his
enemy nafs. O’ Allah! Bless me with the eyes which can see
and recognize the enemy so that I may kill it. When the
seeker progresses spiritually and reaches the level of Tareeqat12
in Alam-e-Malakut, his nafs becomes Nafs-e-Lawamah. On
11,12
Shariat, Tareeqat, Haqeeqat and Marifat are four levels of Divine closeness. People at
the level of Shariat follow the shariah of Prophet Mohammad perfectly and sincerely to
attain closeness of Allah. They are people of physical prayers and deeds. When they
reach the level of Tareeqat they toil to gain inward purity by taking bayat of Murshid
Kamil. On attaining the inward purity they reach the level of Haqeeqat where they find
the Reality through the Ishq of Allah. Ishq of Allah leads to the next level of Marifat
where they get the Divine knowledge after having vision and closeness of Allah.
17. 16
reaching here, one must leave the pleasures of nafs, crush all
its appetites and become independent of all its desires. Then
his level is raised to „Haqeeqat‟13
in Alam-e-Jabrut where his
nafs becomes Nafs-e-Mulhima. It should be burnt in the fire
of Ishq and invocation of Allah so that it approaches the
level of i.e. death before dying. Then the
seeker reaches the next level i.e. Marifat14
in Alam-e-LaHoot
where his nafs becomes Nafs-e-Mutmaina. It repents from
everything other than Allah and becomes the perfect believer
of Oneness of Allah, sincerely obedient, the distinguished
one and confidant of the secrets of Prophet Mohammad.
Allah says:
Meaning: O’ our Lord! We seek Your forgiveness and to You
(we all) have to return. (Al-Baqarah-285)
What is achieved by the seeker at the level of Nafs-e-
Mutmaina? The perfect observation of Faqr Fana Fillah at
the station beyond all stations. Then, the maliciousness of
the evil nafs comes to an end.
Meaning: O’ dear! The nafs (nafs-e-mutmaina) is an intimate
friend. Be with this friend and never be neglectful of it. (Ain-
ul-Faqr)
The correction of nafs goes side by side with reconciliation of
heart, disclosure of core of the soul, and the destination of Faqr
is also being reached. A detailed memorandum of this is written
by Ghaus-ul-Azam Shaikh Abdul Qadir Jilani in his book Sir’r-
ul-Asrar, the gist is as follows:

For the purgation of one‟s innerself, Saints and Sufis mention
various methods, exercises, observations and asceticism but the
method of our Holy Prophet is incomparable and the best.
Sanctification of the nafs has no better way than that of
Mohammad sall‟Allahu alayhi wa‟alihi wasallam.
THE PROPHETIC WAY OF PURGATION OF THE
INNERSELF
It is narrated by Hazrat Hanzala razi Allah anhu15
that once
Hazrat Abu Bakr Siddique razi Allah anhu met him and
15
May Allah be pleased with him (prayer for the Companions of the Holy Prophet).
19. 18
inquired about his health, “O Hanzala, how are you?” I said,
“Hanzala has become a hypocrite.” He replied, “What are
you saying?” I explained, “When we are present in the
company of Prophet Mohammad sall‟Allahu alayhi wa‟alihi
wasallam and when he talks about heaven and hell, we feel
like we are watching it all with our own eyes and the state of
faith in our hearts is such that we do not remember anybody
except Allah and our hearts are filled with love for him, but
when we are not anymore present in the company of the
Messenger and divert our minds towards home, family and
wealth then this feeling and state of heart do not remain
same as are our feelings towards Allah”. Upon hearing this
Hazrat Abu Bakr razi Allah anhu agrees that he is in the
same condition. Hazrat Hanzala narrates that he and Abu
Bakr left and showed up in the presence of the Prophet. I
stated, “O Prophet of Allah! Hanzala has become a hypocrite?”
He asked “how?” I said, “O Messenger of Allah! When I am
present in front of your eyes the condition of my heart is
different but as soon as I leave your company and go home
or to work I am unable to feel the same emotion in my
heart.” So the Messenger responded, “I swear by the Divine
Being Who has control over my life, if the state of your heart
remains, as is when you are with me or in my assembly, all
the time, the angels will shake hands with you while you rest
and on the ways you travel, but O Hanzala! This moment is a
rare blessing.” (like the feeling is blessed upon you only
when you are present with me or in front of my sight).
Prophet Mohammad sall‟Allahu alayhi wa‟alihi wasallam
once told Hazrat Umar Farooq razi Allah anhu that none of
you can have your faith perfected until your love for me
overpowers your love for your life, wealth and children.
Upon hearing this, Hazrat Umar replied, “Your Highness! I
do not feel any such sentiment in my heart.” The Messenger
placed his hand on Umar Farooq‟s shoulder and asked,
20. 19
“What do you feel now?” Hazrat Umar Farooq within a
fraction of seconds spoke up, “O Prophet of Allah! Now I
feel your existence is dearer to me than any other thing in the
entire universe.”
In the Holy Quran the Prophet‟s way of purgation of the inner
self is stated like so:
Meaning: “It is He who has sent among the unlettered a
Messenger from themselves reciting to them His verses and
purifying them (with His perfect spiritual sight) and teaching
them the Book and wisdom (Ilm-e-Laduni, the inspirational
knowledge)”. (Al-Jumu’ah-2)
This verse proves that the Prophet first used to educate his
sacred Companions about the Quran then with his perfect spiritual
sight purify their souls so their hearts could be sanctified and
become capable of absorbing the Noor of Quran. And when the
nafs is purged the heart side by side is automatically cleansed
and the sight of the Reality is reflected clearly upon the mirror of
the heart which makes it remain restless to have this sight again.
This restlessness is basically the beginning of Ishq (Divine love)
for Allah and this spark of love is flared up only through sacred
company. Likewise in the company of the Prophet his Companions
were blessed with invocation of Allah through which they had
their outer and inner selves purified and sanctified and in their
hearts grew the desperation for Marifat (gnosis) so the lord of
both the worlds (Prophet Mohammad sall’Allahu alayhi wa’alihi
wasallam) had them get down the drink of joy, blessings and
mercy. This made them succeed at the stage of purification and
once they were purified it enabled them to get to the level of
learning the Book and Ilm-e-Laduni which made their hearts so
clean and vast that the pure and sweet essence of Marifat and
21. 20
wisdom of Allah and the Holy Quran together was filled in till
the tops.
“Reciting to them His verses and purifying them”, the “and” in
this verse of the Holy Quran makes it clear that purification of
the nafs is one thing and education of the Quran is another.
Because in this verse, “reciting to them His verses” mean that the
Prophet used to give them the knowledge of the Quran about
purgation, and “purifying them” suggests he also used to purge
their nafs and bestow upon them the state of purgation. There is
a marked difference between the knowledge of purgation and the
state of purgation of the inner self, and only the two together can
make aimed wonders happen. The incidents of bestowing the
state of purgation upon people have been mentioned above.
And then they are taught the knowledge of the Book and
inspirational knowledge. After the purification of the nafs,
Marifat of Allah is received and the entire universe comes under
their control. An example is that of Hazrat Barkhiya who
presented the throne of Bilqis (queen of Sheba) in Prophet
Solomon‟s royal court within the blink of an eye. Quran states
the incident of Hazrat Barkhiya as „he had the knowledge of the
Book‟. This is the state of “teaching them the Book and wisdom
(Ilm-e-Laduni)” that is achieved after the purgation of nafs.
And then we hear about a lot of worried and anxious people
who recite the Holy Quran, rather learn it by heart and possess
knowledge of sorts specially the knowledge of purgation of the
inner self and also know of the paranoia the nafs and Satan can
cause, who even write lengthy texts and deliver speeches about
this. Still they are unable to focus during worship and cannot get
rid of the satanic perceptions and imagination while they are at it
because although they have the knowledge of purgation, however
are not blessed with the state of purgation.
Likewise there are numerous people towards mysticism who
have gained the knowledge of purification of the nafs either
22. 21
through books or by listening to discussions between seekers of
Allah and their Divine spiritual guide, or even took bayat (oath
of allegiance) at the hands of a guide but because of their
imperfect desire could not travel the path of righteousness and
had no spiritual observation. These people too have the knowledge
of purgation but have not been bestowed upon with the state of
purgation of the inner self.
The sacred Companions had the purgation of their inner selves
done in the presence and spiritual sight of the Holy Prophet and
he announced that my Companions are like stars, whoever you
choose to follow shall lead you to success. That‟s how this
treasure of Noor of Marifat got transferred, only by sitting in
their presence and company, from the sacred Companions to
Tabi‟un16
and Tabi al-Tabi‟in17
. Because the Prophethood of
Mohammad sall‟Allahu alayhi wa‟alihi wasallam shall remain
till the end of existence, he made Faqeers and Arifs (Knowers of
Allah) his vicegerents and blessed them with the light of
knowledge of purification of the nafs so the rest of his ummah
(nation) could also benefit from them.
Just like it is proven in latest medicinal research that one
cannot cure their own disease no matter how much capable and
learned they are in the field, they will have to see a specialist for
their treatment whatsoever. So how is it possible that without the
spiritual guide and merely by knowing the Quran and Sunnah
one can purge their inner self? And really there is no such
knowledge in the world that can be gained completely through
mere books, there is always the need for a teacher. If studying
the books was the only requirement then why would Allah send
such a long chain of Prophets?
The argument presented above proves this much that merely
the recitation of Holy Quran could not cure the diseases of the
16
Respected persons who had seen and met the sacred Companions i.e. their contemporaries.
17
Contemporaries of Tabi‟un.
23. 22
nafs of even of the sacred Companions, in fact they too had to
visit Prophet Mohammad sall‟Allahu alayhi wa‟alihi wasallam in
order to get their inner selves purged and to gain the inspirational
knowledge through his spiritual sight.
To quote Prophet Mohammad sall‟Allahu alayhi wa‟alihi
wasallam:
The last era of my ummah shall receive guidance just like
you are receiving it from Me. (Muslim)
Whoever dies without being bound by the oath of
allegiance (bayat), dies the death of an ignorant.” (Sahih
Muslim 1851)
He who dies without knowing (through intuition) the Imam
(leader) of his time, dies the death of ignorance.
Prophet Mohammad has stated: “There will always be a
group amongst my ummah on the path of Haq, abandoning
them will not harm them at all, until the order of Allah is
given and they will remain resolute.” (Muslim, Bukhari)
The people who will help and support them will be the
guardians and helpers of the religion and the ones who choose to
serve them as slaves will indeed succeed towards betterment.
There is no part of the world void of Saints, Arifs and Faqeers
who are not showering their spiritual bounties upon people
through their company and spiritual sight and attention,
correcting their nafs, attitude, manners and beliefs and purifying
their faith. These are practical and rapturous qualities which can
be owned through connection at heart, obedience, spiritual
efficacy and following.
Countless such incidents are mentioned in Hadiths, teachings
of Saints and this should clear out the misconception of people
who believe they can sanctify their hearts, purify their nafs and
purge their souls totally on their own, and with mere recitation of
24. 23
the Quran and Hadith can get rid of these inner self diseases
because in the book and Sunnah there are various types of cures
for these diseases of the soul but only a doctor (spiritual guide)
can explain the application of these cures.
Sultan Bahoo has declared spiritual guide as a doctor.
“Murshid (spiritual guide) is the example of a doctor while
the seeker is an example of a patient.” (Ain-ul-Faqr)
Which suggests that the diseases of the nafs can be fought only
by the Divine Universal Man (Insan-e-Kamil) with his perfect
spiritual sight.
Sultan Bahoo says:
Explanation: He says that the spiritual guide should be like a
washerman. Like a washerman does not let a stain remain on
the clothes and cleans dirty garments completely, likewise
the perfect spiritual guide never asks of his seeker to make
daily recitals, litanies or forty days seclusions or makes him
go through any meaningless hardships rather shows him the
way of invocation of Allah‟s personal name (Ism-e-Allah
Zaat) and purifies his nafs with his spiritual sight, expels all
diseases from his inner self, gets him rid of any worldly
desires and those of nafs, cleanses his heart of worldly loves
and replaces it with Divine love. Such a spiritual guide
dwells in every part of the seeker.
Allama Iqbal states:
25. 24
Translation: “O’ oblivious man! Don‟t look for faith in
books. Knowledge and wisdom are indeed in books but faith
is in the spiritual sight.”
Meaning: Intellect has nothing but verbosity, the cure lies in
the spiritual sight of the perfect spiritual guide from diseases
of the soul e.g. jealousy, rancor, greed, lust, backbiting, slander
etc. Thereafter filling the heart with the Ishq of Allah.
Meaning: The perfect spiritual guide‟s powerful Divine sight
opens the mystic path, leading a devotee to the secrets of
Allah. If one cannot purify the nafs with his spiritual sight
what is the point to be called a spiritual guide. It is only the
way of the perfect spiritual guide.
The perfect and accomplished spiritual guide should be the one
who not only has the knowledge and authority over Ism-e-Allah
Zaat but also possesses the personal name, attributes and Zaat
(Divine Self). Sultan Bahoo under the presence of the same
spiritual guide talks about contemplation of Ism-e-Allah zaat:
“A person whose nafs is rebellious and Ammarah in the
initial stage, upgrades to Lawamah after practicing the
invocation of Ism-e-Allah Zaat, then to Mulhima and finally
reaches the level of Mutmaina.” (Kaleed-ul-Tauheed Kalan)
26. 25
“Contemplation of Ism-e-Allah zaat weakens the nafs inside
the body as though it is suffering from measles, this invocation
unlocks such restlessness upon the nafs that it remains
fidgety and impatient all the time, to be precise, its sole
existence diminishes and expires. This disobedient nafs
(Ammarah) turns obedient (Mutmaina) and then like a slave
remains under control forever.” (Kaleed-ul-Tauheed Kalan)
Just like Prophet‟s company, sight and attention develop Noor
and trust in his Companions‟ hearts and spark the fire of faith in
their nafs and elevate their souls higher than those of the sacred
angels, keep their hearts free of all material foulness, and keep
them blessed with vision of Allah, the same way his vicegerents‟
company, sight and attention can purge the souls and sanctify
hearts and make people recall their Lord. Being distant from
such people can cause hearts to go ignorant, turn towards
worldly matters and increase attention so as to achieve this
transitory world. No human is free from the diseases of the nafs
nor can he diagnose them on his own. No human is free from
these sensual diseases like hypocrisy, malice, love for the world,
lust, animosity, malignancy, jealousy, anger, gluttony, desire for
worldly status, unlawful sexual relations, greed for wealth,
avarice, materialism, lying, slander, objection to Allah, oblivion,
pride, egoism, conceit, selfishness, backbiting, prejudice,
nationalism, sectarianism, sect glorifying, barbarism and atrocities,
love for their origin/caste/domain, love for their religious/
political leader(s). Until and unless all of these idols are not
broken, none of their acts of worship is accepted.
Yet the situation of man today is such that he considers himself
superior and flawless in religion, faith and piety which is
absolute ignorance, like a Divine quote puts:
27. 26
Meaning: “Shall We tell you the greatest losers in respect of
(their) deeds! Those whose efforts have been wasted in this life
while they thought that they were acquiring good by their
deeds.” (Al-Kahf-103-104)
Leader of the truthfuls Hazrat Abu Bakr‟s following quote
verifies the fact that no other method of self-sanctification over
shines the Prophetic way of purgation of the innerself:
“The final part of the ummah shall be rectified the same way the
initial part of the ummah was rectified.” (Imam Malik)
Keep in mind!
Purgation… is an inner self power. The person who desires to
become philanthropic, righteous and virtuous shall always
require the power of purgation to begin with. Purge your soul
first and correct yourself, purgation and correction of others is
not something you should be concerned about at this point.
