Sufi psychology

Hi there lil' one! Do you know what psychology is? It's when we learn about our thoughts and feelings and how they affect our behavior. Sufi psychology is like regular psychology, but with a Muslim twist.

The Sufis are a group of Muslims who focus on connecting with God through meditation, prayer, and other spiritual practices. They believe that by understanding ourselves and our emotions, we can become closer to God.

In Sufi psychology, there are 3 parts to the self: the Nafs (our base desires and instincts), the Qalb (our heart or emotional center), and the Ruh (our soul or spiritual essence).

The Nafs is like the voice inside our head that tells us to do things we know are not good for us, like eating too much candy or watching too much TV. The Qalb is where we feel our emotions like love, anger, and sadness. The Ruh is what makes us unique and special - it's our connection to God.

Sufi psychology teaches us that we need to listen to our Qalb and train our Nafs to follow what is good for us, like being kind to others and eating healthy food. By doing this, we can become closer to God and feel more fulfilled in our lives.

So, that's a little bit about Sufi psychology, my dear. It's all about learning to understand ourselves and our emotions in order to become closer to God.
