قرآن و حدیث کا تصور تزکیہ اور اس کے انسانی نفس پر مطلوبہ اثرات

The Concept of Purification in Qurʼān and Hadith and its Desirable Effects on the Human Soul

Abstract

This article makes an attempt to illuminate the required Quranic sources and their consequences for the achievement of Self-Purification. “Tazkiyah” rhetorically is associated with purification, growth and expurgation. It is the process of absolving the Nafs (self/psyche) from its unhealthy and immodest qualities, and restoring them to aesthetic and heavenly qualities. It refers to removing the natural dominance of evil in the human soul and overcoming all these sinful desires that hinder spiritual development. Self-Purification is based on the Book of Allah and the Sunnah of Muhammad (PBUH), that obedience is to Allah and following the ways of Muhammad (PBUH). These two things are Sabil Allah, Divine Deen and the Straight Path. Thanks to them, Self-Purification and self-improvement are possible. Through them, all people will get success and honour.
