Islamic
Psychology
of the Self
Mokhtar
Maghraoui A great overview
of the science of purifying the self in a wonderfully spiritual
setting of Yosemite National Park. Through four sessions at a
California weekend retreat, Mokhtar Maghraoui inspires the audience
to be self-reflective and to assess the state of their nafs (inner
self) in the context of completing the journey back to Paradise.
The completion of this journey is largely dependent on the type
of nafs we possess: the cattle-like nafs, the predator-like nafs,
the satanic-like nafs or the angelic-like nafs. How do we determine
which one we possess and how do we elevate our nafs to a state
that is pleasing to our Creator? In analyzing these states of
the soul, the imam also prescribes practical ways to guard against
its debasement by both Shaitan and our lower desires. And finally,
the example of the purified soul, that of our beloved Prophet
Muhammad (P), is discussed in an effort to make the lessons of
this series more relevant to our daily lives. (Duration: 4 hours,
