In this state, Aql is able to exercise sound reason, its perception of the
external world is realistic, it sees the value of moral conduct, its operations
are imbued with wisdom, and it is able to exercise a wholesome direction on
the Nafs. The disrupting influences on the Nafs Ammara (the
lower Nafs) is weakened, and their tendency to wrong action countered by
the Nafs Lawwamma (the instinct to remorse). And from this state, the
self is capable of being transformed, even if only temporarily, into the Nafs
Mutmaina (the tranquil or rested Nafs), which could be described as the
state in which the self is in total surrender to the Qalb and completely
incorporated into the worship of God.
