Tazkiyyatu-Nafs, or the purification of the soul, is a grand part of Islamic theory of the highest branch of Islam

The branches of Islam are three

  • Islam (its legal aspects and rulings)
  • Emaan (faith, the doctrinal details of Islamic creed which has many categories)
  • Ihsan (the perfection of deed and intention and the adoption of the school of waraa (waraa being an attribute of meticulousness in the walks of life coupled with fearfullness of falling into what may displease Allah and hopeful that Allah will forgive them) )

It is this third pillar that this page is initated to give the reader a thorough classical view based on the orthodox traditionists of Islam
