Shahzelle: Make it...our nafs needs to DEVELOP not grow. It needs to develop to a point where it becomes one with the goal for which it was created and becomes immune to the alluring forces of the materialistic world. Now the question arises as to how you elivate your nafs to that position. Emaan is the life blood of your soul and nafs and its the level of emaan that determines how well you know yourself and to what extent you are in harmony with what you feel, want and desire.

It is the basis of a human beings self, to try find out who one is ! One cannot emaluate somebody unless one knows oneself first.
It is also important to know that a human being has the prowess to change himself/herself from the inside,yet the failing lies in not knowing the inside.
Every human should have the knowledge, internal, that he /she is here on this earth to do good,yet to do good, one needs to learn the magic of self redemption. This than comes with knowledge, and knowledge comes with education and education is what is lacking in our own country,thus the turmail, hatred, Mullaism and the rest of the evils.

jazz ...thats exactly the point ....ofcourse we do! we all try and fit others in that 'boxed view' too. But real life is outside that sacred box. Hence in that process we loose the freedom, our nafs needs to grow. We can easily compare it to being slaves to rituals or familiarity....... :(

hey what say you?!...surface plz......

hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm! I said that hmmmmmmmmmmm.......but its true.

Shahzelle:
Hmmm food for thought. Tell me one thing, do you believe that people have a certain ATTITUDE without their even realizing its makeup? Dont people know their way of life and where it is leading?
Getting to be one with ur SELF is one of the toughest thigns in life. We are in a constant state of self denial. Cant think of anything more..will add later.
