Rough translation of the images I shared above

“When a person gets into trouble, he strives to get out of it. If he is unable to do so, he asks for help
from the creation. For example, the king, leaders, the rich and influential people, doctors etc. When the
creation also fails to help that person then he turns his attention to Allah and makes dua with sincerity
and devotion and praises his lord.

Hence, when he is able to help himself, he doesn’t turn to makhlooq and when the makhlooq is able to
help then he doesn’t turn to Allah and when Allah out of his hikmah also doesn’t help him immediately
then he leaves his fate in Allah’s hands and keeps on asking him, keeps on crying in front of him, keeps
on having hope for his help and mercy. Then Allah tires him from dua, and doesn’t accept his dua. Then
this person leaves all the asbaab.

This is the stage when the qadr of Allah activates. Now this man has left all the results to the will of
Allah. Now he attained a high level of yaqeen and he has now become satisfied with the will of Allah.
Now he has fully realized this reality that only Allah is the doer of things and no one but only He can
bring hardships and solve them too. Only Allah has success and failure, happiness and sadness, good and
evil, ease and hardship, profit and loss, mercy and wrath, life and death and no one is to be worshiped
but Him and no one is like Him. In this condition of self awareness and insight this man becomes like an
infant in the hands of his mother who deals with him as she likes and this infant is unable to respond and
resist her actions. In this condition a person feels himself like a puppet of Allah. He always, talks of him,
thinks of him, gets pleasure in his blessings and awareness, feels his love. He has firm faith on his lord.
Allah reveals the divine knowledge and guidance through alqaa (intuition) on his servant. Then his
servant thanks him for his blessings. ”

Nafs e Amaarrah is the stage of ignorance.

Nafs e Lawwamah is the stage of awakening.

Nafs e Mutmainnah is the stage of realization and settlement.

Every momin’s goal is to reach the stage of Nafs e Mutmainnah.

This is why a true Shaykh is necessary and this is why his tawajjoh, his guidance and tazkiya of nafs (soul)
is necessary.
