When we think about self-improvement, we often focus on habits, mindset, and discipline. But true growth isn't just about the mind and body-it's about the soul. 

In this episode, we're diving into the three stages of the soul according to Islamic psychology and the Quran:

Nafs al Amara bil su- The lower self, driven by desires and ego. 

Nafs al Lawwama- The self-reproaching soul, aware of of its mistakes and seeking growth. 

Nafs al Mutmainnah- The content soul, at peace with itself and Allah's plan. 

We'll explore what these stages mean, how they impact our daily lives, and practical ways to move toward inner peace and self-mastery. Whether you're struggling with breaking bad habits, dealing with guilt, or seeking spiritual fulfillment, this episode will help you better understand yourself and take intentional steps toward true wellness. 

Let's get deep. Let's reflect. And let's grow together.
