وَلَا أُقْسِمُ بِالنَّفْسِ اللَّوَّامَةِ
75:2 Nafs al-Lawwâmahنَّفْسِ اللَّوَّامَة is the self-accusing and self-reproaching soul. Nafs al-Lawwâmahنَّفْسِ اللَّوَّامَة is cited as the proof that the Day of Resurrection is bound to take place. Every human being, naturally enough, knows that he may be caught because of his misdeeds and his crimes, and if caught, he will not go unpunished. Similarly, we should fear the day when we will be called to account for all our actions, however hidden they might be in this life. Thus, when the conscience of a person is awakened to upbraid him for doing bad deeds and retrain his passions and appetites, the Nafs al-Lawwâmah stands in the way and whispers fear of the punishment of the day when he will be called to account. Thus, the awakening of the Nafs al-Lawwâmah is the first stage and preliminary step towards the development of spiritual life. It is the beginning of moral resurrection and therefore is an evidence of the final Resurrection. Nafs al-Lawwâmah is an inborn, natural feeling of abhorrence of sin and a belief that a human being has to account for it, that is he must be repaid for his actions, both good and ill.
