Understanding the Nafs, Intellect, and Heart – Shaykh Hamza Yusuf

In this insightful lecture, Shaykh Hamza Yusuf explores the Qur’anic understanding of the human self by examining the roles of the nafs (self or soul), ‘aql (intellect), and qalb (heart). Drawing from classical Islamic scholarship and spiritual psychology, he explains how these three elements interact in the journey of self-knowledge, purification, and connection with the Divine. This session is part of his ongoing series on Qur’anic Anthropology and offers profound guidance for anyone seeking to understand the inner dimensions of the soul through the lens of the Qur’an and Islamic tradition...
