@Hadithoftheday Allah says in Qur'an:
Indeed the nafs that overwhelmingly commands a person to do sin.[12:53]
In Nafs-ul-Ammarah, it means we are subjugated by it, we are sub-ordinate to it, we listen and follow all of its dictates and commands.

@Hadithoftheday The sign that a person has nafs-ul-Ammarah is that they sin willingly, blatantly, remorselessly, in any way that they ever want.
@Hadithoftheday 2. Nafs-ul-Lawwamah.
Allah says in Qur'an:
โ
"And I swear by the reproaching soul [to the certainty of resurrection]."
(Qur'an. Al-Qiyaama 75: Verse 2)
Lawwam here means to self incriminate, to self reproach, to have blame, to do mulamat of oneself. +

"And I swear by the reproaching soul [to the certainty of resurrection]."
(Qur'an. Al-Qiyaama 75: Verse 2)
Lawwam here means to self incriminate, to self reproach, to have blame, to do mulamat of oneself. +
@Hadithoftheday Nafs-ul-Lawwamah is that nafs that does sometimes bring a person to do sin, but then that nafs self incriminates itself, it reproaches itself, it feels bad, it feels guilty.
+
+
@Hadithoftheday And then this guilt is supposed to increase so much so then the person leaves those sins because they feel so guilty about them.
+
+
@Hadithoftheday The sign of this is precisely that the person has such a nafs that when they commit a sin they feel remorse, regret, guilt, shame, they feel embarrassment, they wish they could take it back, they wish they never did it, they may even intend at that moment never to do that again
@Hadithoftheday 3. Nafs-ul-Mutma'innah:
Allah says in Qur'an:
To the righteous it will be said โoh reassured soul, return to your Lord well pleased, and pleasing to Himโ
[89:27-28]
Thus, Allah addresses the mutma'in nafs. And mutmaโin here means two things.+
Allah says in Qur'an:
To the righteous it will be said โoh reassured soul, return to your Lord well pleased, and pleasing to Himโ
[89:27-28]
Thus, Allah addresses the mutma'in nafs. And mutmaโin here means two things.+
@Hadithoftheday a) Number one is that they are mutmaโin, they are content with the hukm/order of Allah, there is nothing else that makes them happy. So, this person is also doing what makes them happy. +
@Hadithoftheday But this person has been molded and trained and disciplined it in such a way, that the only thing that makes it happy, that gives it solace, is what Allah is pleased with.
@Hadithoftheday b) Second meaning of mutmaโin is that has reached a state of serenity. The serene, contented, tranquility, at peace nafs. And obviously, the peace here means that it has aman (peace) , itminan (serenity and tranquil) from doing sin and also aman and itminan from desiring sin.
@Hadithoftheday It has no unlawful desires. It has desires, that is what the nafs does, but it only desires good things. The sign of this is the person having Nafs-ul-Mutma'innah, not only do they not do sin, they no longer desire sin. +
@Hadithoftheday That faculty, that part of their humanity that desires, only and only desires things that Allah views as desirable and has stopped desiring those things that Allah Almighty has labeled as undesirable.
May Allah make us among those who have Nafs-ul-Mutma'innah. Aameen
