S2 Episode 5: The Tranquil Self

The journey to the Sound Heart continues with the fourth station “ The Tranquil Self.”

After the wind comes the lake…

that quiet moment when the soul stops fighting and begins to mirror the sky.

This is an-nafs al-muṭmaʾinnah ;

the self that rests in remembrance

and trusts the rhythm of the Divine plan.

In this episode, Raha explores the art of peace ;

how tadabbur (reflection), murāqabah (awareness), mushāhada (witnessing),

and muḥāsaba (gentle self-examination) become the four gateways of tranquility.

She unpacks how tawakkul (trust) softens control,

how ṣabr (patience) turns waiting into worship,

and how the body learns that stillness isn’t collapse — it’s safety remembered.

Through tazkiyah (purification), the mirror of the heart clears

and peace begins to reflect its own light again.

It’s what remains when the wind finally rests.
