  An in-depth analysis of the four
states of the human being whereby Imam Mokhtar Maghraoui looks
at the cattle-like nafs, the predator-like nafs, the satanic-like
nafs, and the angelic-like nafs. The imam elaborates upon each
of these manifestations in detail in an effort to help the audience
learn about themselves, for we must know ourselves in order to
help ourselves. What is the happiness of the self? What is the
misery of the self? And how do we obtain happiness in order to
stay on that difficult jou rney
back home to Paradise? In answering these vital questions and
exploring the various states of the self, the imam helps us to
realize the positive and negative tendencies that exist within
us and just how we can cultivate its good side. This powerful
lecture provokes serious self-reflection with a fresh perspective
and provides much of the pre-requisite knowledge for being successful
in the task of purifying the self. |
