supports to it in committing disobedience Towards Allah and His messenger. A seeker of truth has to keep
a watch on these two Nafs at every destination and stage.
3) Nafs-e-Mulhema:-
The Almighty has said= “Today is the day that no person shall owe any obligation to any other person.
Every living soul has to taste the death and then you shall all return to us”. O dear! It is such and
intermediatory kind of a Nafs that if a seeker of truth should have complete possession ever Nafs-e-
Lauwama, he begins deriving comfort in Nafs-e-Mulhilma gains pleasure in worshipping and penencing,
and endeavour and meditation continuously goes on as normal.
As such a juncture the devillish qualities in human-being are leaded while the very humanistic
nature came to surface. He begins performing with virtuous deeds without any hyprocracy and with nothing
to be aggrieved about. His heart gets gentle and soul heart remains engrossed in memory of God; he
comes across sighting the angles and the souls of the prophets.
The Nafs-e-Mulhima is also called the human soul. At this stage the destination ahead seems
handy with his enlightenment of the knowledge; the light-of-guidence begins streaming in. “Guide us to the
righteous path”. It means: the forthcoming destination begins to be seen crystal clear. “From darkness
towards the light.” It means the strolls out of darkness of self towards the light.
O dear! After stepping in the Nafs-e-Mulhima, one should apply great alertness, you should not
alight the horse of aptitude, and you should not lose senses by taking to the small peg. You should conceal
whatever notions pass through the heart and move ahead. You should remember that there prevails
survival in the next destination of this middle Nafs-e-Mulhema and there prevails peril in its previous
destination and there exists contentment in its forth coming destination and perplexity in its destination
which is left behind. A simple hint would suffice. “People who see should, then, rely.”
4) Nafs-E-Mutmainna:
“O contented soul! Return to your cherisher, pleased by your own will; then you get mingled with my
devotees and enter my paradise.”(Al Fajr, part: 1)
As the very name is Mutmainna (i.e. contented) so, at this stage mankind derives,” Behold that
contented of hearts”. Here mankind himself gets lost in love towards his own enlightenment. It means there
exists none but the divinely -being. Here it is all around sighthing of the beloved. He has escaled the
destination of survival (i.e. Baqa) from the destination of peril; one has no retreat from here. One has to
keep himself intact and to maintain heart busy in observation and the study. At this destination human-
being tongue works as tough sword of the compassionate, his eyesight works like chemistry hand
becomes Allah’s hand, ears be the listening by Allah, tongue the conversationist with Allah and his heart
turns like the throne of Allah. “The mankind is my secret and I am his secret”, here this specific saying gets
elucidated in itself and renders heart full of contentment and tranquility in life.
O dear! You should remember that you have reached such a destination riding the horse of
eagerness: you have overcome in going astray here and there; and every while you had been darting your
sight on attitude and then you had been lucky to have achieved this stage. “It is bliss from my cherisher
-“(Al Quran). You introduce decorum to your self i.e. you should give up practicing in revealations and
miracles. Allah the Almighty has ordained in the same vain: “I take oath of the self and oath of what has
disciplined it”. For you the indigence of yours is enough. There is but Allah who shall survive.
