In the Name of Allah, the Gracious, the Merciful
Extract
from QUR’AANIC
STUDIES – A Modern Tafsir PART II:
27. Ya ayyatuha alnnafsu almutma-innatu
89:27.
“O you contented soul!”
28.
IrjiAAee ila rabbiki radiyatan
mardiyyatan
89:28.
“Return to your Lord pleased [with yourself], pleasing (to your Lord).”
29. Faodkhulee
fee AAibadee
89:29.
“Enter then to be among My devotees!”
30. Waodkhulee
jannatee
89:30.
“And enter My Garden!”2, 3
2. Verses 27 to 30 constitute the divine welcome address to
those who have successfully passed the lifelong test of this world.
3. The Qur’aan speaks of two other sorts of souls: nafsa la-ammarah, soul prone to evil
[Verse 12:53], and, nafsil-lawwamah,
self-reproaching soul [Verse
75:2]. The soul, apparently, must graduate to its third stage of nafs almut-mainnah to deserve the divine
welcome.
