SUMMARY
#looking_at_oneself
Surah An-Nas opens with a directive from your Lord to seek refuge in Him, to protect yourselves from the disturbances of the mind, which include ego, baseless understandings, wrong perceptions, self-interest, discrimination, prejudice, and other forms of mental impurities. An agitated mind loses its peace and calmness, leading to actions filled with conflicts and arguments, making the mind restless. This restlessness distracts you from seeking the truth. Therefore, it is essential to evolve by eradicating these impurities, restoring peace and calmness, and enabling ourselves to delve into your spiritual journey in search of truth.
You seek refuge from the state of your nafs (self) that becomes entangled with the authority of an agitated mind. This state of mind can shape your personality in ways that align with its turmoil. Furthermore, you seek refuge from the distorted realities constructed by your agitated minds, which give birth to detrimental personalities, hindering your well-being and success.
Every negative thought is a lethal whisper. These whispers stem from sources that hinder your intellect from grasping the truth and keep your minds restless with negative content. By seeking refuge in Allah, you protect yourselves from these harmful influences, allowing you to maintain a clear, peaceful, and calm mind, essential for your spiritual growth and pursuit of truth.
In essence, Surah An-Nas teaches you to rely entirely on Allah for protection against the mental disturbances that lead you away from the truth. It reminds you that your Lord is the ultimate refuge from all evils that threaten your spiritual well-being and growth.
