Nafs e mutmainna kya hai, what is the contented nafs: a nafs that is content with whatever Allah SWT is pleased with.
The third state of the nafs is Nafs-e-Mutma’innah. The verse of Surah al-Fajr that the imam often recites in Fajr prayer carries this meaning: O contented soul, return to your Lord, pleased with Him and He pleased with you. (mafhoom: Surah al-Fajr 27-28)
That is a nafs content with whatever Allah SWT is pleased with. This is Nafs-e-Mutma’innah, and this is the success.
May Allah SWT grant us Nafs-e-Mutma’innah.
