Preparing Your Nafs for Dhul Hijjah | Friday Khutbah

About this episode

This episode discusses the different states of the nafs and how to prepare oneself spiritually for Dhul Hijjah.

- Nafs al-Ammarah (The Commanding Self): This is the base self that inclines towards evil and desires. It often leads us to sin and distracts us from our duties to Allah. - Nafs al-Lawwama (The Self-Reproaching Self): This self is aware of its shortcomings and feels remorse for its actions. It strives for improvement and seeks forgiveness from Allah. - Nafs al-Mutma'inna (The Tranquil Self): This is the highest state of the nafs, characterized by peace and contentment in the remembrance of Allah. It is the self that is fully submitted to Allah's will.
