Nafs e lawwama kya hai, what is the self-reproaching nafs?
We made a mistake. We scolded someone, we were rude to someone, at home, among friends, at the office. And afterwards we realised: yes, I was wrong.
Now we will not boast to anyone that we fooled someone or wronged someone. Instead we feel the reproach, we are ashamed inside. That is Nafs-e-Lawwamah, and it is a better state than Nafs-e-Ammarah.
Today, when your heart reproaches you over a mistake, stop there and ask Allah SWT for forgiveness.
Meesaq Ep 2, Shaykh Shahzad Arif.
