The True Lover Of Allah Ta'ala Part 1 ✔

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 (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 Qur
(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.
