has gloss | eng: Tazkiah (تزكية) is an Arabic-Islamic term referring to the process of transforming the nafs (carnal self or desires) from its deplorable state of ego-centeredness through various psycho spiritual stages towards the level of purity and submission to the will of Allah. Tazkiah (and the related concepts of tarbiyah and talim – training and education) does not limit itself to the conscious learning process: it is rather the task of giving form to the act of righteous living itself: treating every moment of life with remembering one’s position in front of one’s Creator. |
