THE
FIRST
STATE:
The Holy Quran thus observes that it is the
characteristic of Nafs-E-Ammara that
inclines man towards evil, and tends to lead
him into iniquitous and immoral paths and
stands in the way of his attainment of
perfection and moral excellence.
In short, it is the nature of human kind and
is prone to evil and transgression at a
certain stage in his development and so long
as he is devoid of high moral qualities,
this evil nature is predominant in man. He
is subject to this state so long as he does
not walk in the light of true wisdom and
knowledge but acts in obedience to the
natural inclinations of eating drinking and
sleeping becoming angry or excited etc. like
the lower animals.
