What is the Nafs?

Our company name is based off the Arabic word, named Nafs, that is often reflected in holy book of Islam as “self”, “psyche”, “ego” or “soul”. Although the techniques and practices of our company are not fully based in Islam, the concept of this word describes the ultimate state which we wish to help you achieve.

In Sufism, the mystical sect of Islam, Nafs is the unrefined state of the “ego”, which is the lowest dimension of a person’s inward existence. It is a man’s animalistic and satanic nature.

A major theme of the word nafs in the Quran is to instill a sense of personal responsibility in each individual, made with the strong emphasis on the choices made by the individual. We have control over our animalistic and satanic nature, our lower nature, through the conscious will of our higher self. The nafs is neither good or evil, but is conveyed to be something that is nurtured and self-regulated to become ‘good’ or ‘inwardly meaningful’ through its thoughts and actions.

There are 3 major levels of development of the nafs or “self”. First is nafs-ul-ammara or the “commanding nafs” This is where the nafs has power over a human being, meaning we listen to it and follow all of its dictates and commands.

The second type of nafs is the nafs-ul-lawwahmah or the “accusing nafs”. Often when people are fighting with their ego, they are fighting with this type of nafs. Between good and bad.

The third development of nafs is described is nafs-ul-mutmainnah or the “peaceful nafs”. This is when the ego is at peace with itself.

And when we do take control of our nafs and essentially get to the third stage of nafs development, we essentially reach our destiny in life, which according to Sufism, is to become a complete, whole and perfect human being.

True magic happens when you release your lower tendencies and reach for your higher self. Manifestations become effortless and spreading love and joy is second nature. A large part of a spiritual awakening is the expansion of one's consciousness, which entails understanding and taking control over their own thoughts, beliefs, actions and behaviors. Only when you understand that you are the conscious creator of your reality, can you manifest what is alignment with your soul.

What People Have To Say

Aria Mustary

Founder & President of Mai Soli Foundation

"I’ve had the pleasure of working with Nafisa Islam very closely. In her time as Founder and Executive Director of Children of 1971, we worked closely together to plan an event that would engage the South Asian community in New York City pre-covid. Nafisa is an incredible, down-to-earth, and compassionate community leader. She is a go-getter who makes things happen, no matter how impossible they may seem at the time. She is well-connected and loves to help people as much as she possibly can.

Nafisa and I also worked closely together with her energy healing work. In her meditative practices, she helped me realize my unrelieved trauma and has helped me heal from my past through her sessions."

Nadia Khalique

Life Coach & Therapist

"I met Nafisa during our work together for the “Help the Poor Foundation” and I was amazed by her commitment to serving the community. She’s very passionate about what she does and always strives to help causes that aren’t receiving a lot of recognition. Through our work together, she introduced me to the Children of 1971 organization as the Founder and CEO and had worked with individuals to be courageous in sharing their stories and bringing more unity to the Bangladesh community.

Nafisa is meticulous and a thoughtful leader. She takes pride in her work, and I couldn’t recommend her enough!"
