Nafs-e-Mutma`innah

.....................................................................................................................

In Tafseer Mazhari, Qadhi Thanaullah (Rahmatullah ‘alaih), defines this Nafs-e-Mutma`innah as :

• The nafs which enjoys security from the Azaab (punishment) of Allah Ta’ala.

• The nafs which has recognised Allah Ta’ala and as such  does not enjoy any satisfaction except in the Zikr (Praise of Allah Ta'ala)  (remembrance) of Allah. It does not want to be distanced  from Allah Ta’ala for even a second.

Like the fish that enjoys satisfaction and comfort only deep down, in the depths of the ocean, so too does this nafs enjoy satisfaction only in the depths of the ocean of the Qurb (proximity) and Muhabbat (Love) of Allah Ta’ala.

Such a nafs will be called upon by Allah Ta’ala at the time of death as:

“O (you) the one in (complete) rest and satisfaction! Come back to your Lord, Well pleased (yourself)and well pleasing unto Him! Enter you, then, among My honoured slaves, and enter you My paradise!”
[Surah Fajr 89 : 27/28/29/30]

Whilst these are the stages traversed to achieve ‘Annihilation’, it should be understood that this is most easily and successfully obtained with the suhbat (company) and direction of the Ahlullah (Friends of Allah Ta'ala).
