Tazkiah
Tazkiyah ( ar, تزكية) is an Arabic-Islamic term alluding to "''tazkiyat al-nafs''" meaning "sanctification" or "purification of the self". This refers to the process of transforming the ''nafs'' (carnal self or desires) from its deplorable state of self-centrality through various spiritual stages towards the level of purity and submission to the Will of Allah. Its basis is in learning the ''shari'ah'' and deeds from the known authentic ''sunnah'' and applying it in your own deeds through life resulting in spiritual awareness of Allah (being constantly aware that He is with us by His knowledge and knows all that we do, along with being in constant remembrance or ''dhikr'' of Him in your thoughts and actions) being the highest level of ''Ihsan''. The person who purifies himself/herself is called a ''Zaki'' ( ar, زكيّ). ''Tazkiyah'', along with the related concepts of ''tarbiyah'' – self-development and ''ta'lim'' – training and education, does not limit itself to th ...

Sanctification
Sanctification (or in its verb form, sanctify) literally means "to set apart for special use or purpose", that is, to make holy or sacred (compare la, sanctus). Therefore, sanctification refers to the state or process of being set apart, i.e. "made holy", as a vessel, full of the Holy Spirit of God. The concept of sanctification is widespread among religions, including Judaism and especially Christianity. The term can be used to refer to objects which are set apart for special purposes, but the most common use within Christian theology is in reference to the change brought about by God in a believer, begun at the point of salvation and continuing throughout the life of the believer. Many forms of Christianity believe that this process will only be completed in Heaven, but some believe that complete holiness is possible in this life. Judaism In rabbinic Judaism sanctification means sanctifying God's name by works of mercy and martyrdom, while desecration of God's name ...

Akhira
al-Ākhirah ( ar, الآخرة, derived from ''Akhir'' which means last, ultimate, end or close) is an Arabic term for "the Hereafter". In Islamic eschatology, on the Day of Last Judgment, the natural or temporal world ('' dunya'') will come to an end, the dead will be resurrected from their graves, and God will pronounce judgment on their deeds, consigning them for eternity to either the delights of ''jannah'' (paradise) or the flames of hellfire of ''jahannam''. The belief that death is not the end of existence, but a transferral from the temporal world to the everlasting world, (''al-Ākhirah''), is a belief Islam shares with other Abrahamic religions such as Judaism and Christianity. ''Al-Ākhirah'' is referenced dozens of times in the Quran in numerous surahs where among other things, believers are told it makes "the enjoyment of this worldly life" (''dunya'') appear "insignificant"(Q.9:38).

Taharat
Purity ( ar, طهارة, ''ṭahāra(h)'') is an essential aspect of Islam. It is the opposite of ''najāsa'', the state of being ritually impure.

Before offering prayers, it is necessary to perform wudu, and in certain cases, ghusl. The purifying agent is always clean water.

Qalb
In Islamic philosophy, the qalb ( ar, قلب), or heart, is the origin of intentional activities, the cause behind all humans' intuitive deeds. While the brain handles the physical impressions, ''qalb'' (the heart) is responsible for deep understanding within the sadr (the chest). Heart and brain work together, but it is the heart where true knowledge can be received. In Islamic thought, the heart is not the seat of feelings and emotions, but of '' rūḥ'' ( ar, روح, links=no): the immortal cognition, the rational soul. Qalb (قَلْب) literally means to turn about. So what is the connection between “turn about” and “the heart”? When something turns about, it does not remain the same and so does our heart. Our feelings and thoughts change all the time and that is why it is called Qalb (قَلْب). In the Quran, the word ''qalb'' is used more than 130 times. Stages of taming qalb Qalb also refers to the second among the six purities or Lataif-e-sitta in Sufi p ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
