“Nafs e Mutmaenna” – The surrendered blissful soul

‘Nafs e mutmaenna’ is the truly surrendered soul to the commands of Allah and His Prophet (SAS), ‘Nafs e mutmaenna’ has reached the stage of sublimity and tranquility. The storms of the mind have died down; the passions of the heart have been totally subdued and the heat of the body has cooled down. The mind and the heart is totally turned to the ways of Lord and is at complete peace with Him. There is no wavering and fickle-mindedness in the mind. The supreme light of the Lord has dawned on the mind and heart. There is glow of light on the face and a halo around the head. The nafs e ammara, the carnal soul is subdued and humbled. The ‘nafs e lawamma’ gives guidance to the heart and mind with moral precepts and ‘Nafs e mutmaenna’ is in total peace with the Lord by following the commands of the Lord and His Prophet (SAS). When the nafs or soul is surrendered to the Lord, then the Lord bestows his secrets in the heart and such persons become humble devotees of the Lord. The Lord answers the prayers of the persons whose nafs has reached the stage of the surrender and humbled itself to the Lord’s service. Such persons are awe inspiring persons and Allah refers to such persons as his friends i.e. Walies (Saints). They are always is Allah’s service seeking his help and guidance and pursuing His qualities all the time. Such persons are fit to receive Allah’s grace and bounties. They are godly and heavenly. They live in total awe and fear of the Lord and are referred to as ‘Mutaqeens’. Those with righteous living are ‘Zahedeens’. They exercise patience during adverse periods and are always thankful to the Lord for the bounties showered on them. Hence they are also called ‘Sabereens’ and ‘Shakeereens’. They are in Lord’s service and serve His creatures and they are also called ‘Saliheens’. As they humble themselves in prayers and carry themselves in prayers and carry out the ‘ibadaat’, they are also referred as ‘Abideens’ and ‘Sajjideens’. Allah refers to ever humbled persons by various names. As they are always reciting the Prayers of Allah, they are also referred as ‘Zakireens’. When their ends come, Allah commands such soul to return to their heavenly abode, the final abode of peace.

Sura 89 Al Fajr

27 But ah! Your soul at Peace!

28 Return unto your Lord content in His good pleasure!

29 Enter you among My bondmen!

30 Enter you My Garden!

  Literature on Sufism by Lover of Ancient Wisdom It is very interesting that Rumi transformed literary works like Laila Manju into spiritual allegory depicting the intense devotional relationship between the aspirant- Bhakta and Divinity which overshadowed him and shines in his heart Terrestrial events are shadowing forth of celestial / cosmic phenomena in the world of Spirit That’s why the Law of Analogy and Correspondence rules in cosmos by which one can trace celestial pattern in terrestrial events.
