LATAA’IF-E-SITTAH AND THEIR EFFECTS
The six Lateefah (spiritual faculties) in man are the Nafs, Qalb, Rooh, Sirr, Khafee and Akhfaa. Their effects are as follows:

  1. NAFS: (Nafs here refers to Nafs-e-Mut’mainnah): Its nourishment is abstention from sin.
  2. QALB: Its nourishment is Zikr.
  3. ROOH: Its nourishment is Huzoori (constantly alert and in the presence of Allah).
  4. SIRR: The nourishment of Sirr is the unveiling of realities.
  5. KHAFI: The nourishment of Khafee is Shuhood (to behold the truth and to contemplate it), and Fanaa (to be annihilated or totally absorbed in Tauheed).
  6. AKHFAA: The nourishment of Akhfaa is Fanaa-ul-Fanaa (i.e. to be unaware of even one’s stage of annihilation). Regarding this faculty there exists difference of opinion among the authorities.
    REMEDY FOR NAFS: is abstention from sin/ Salaat-e-Nafs is prevention of relationships other than the relationship of Allah.
    REMEDY FOR QALB: is Zikr/ Salaat-e-Qalb is negation of negligence/Say no to negligence.
    REMEDY FOR ROOH: is Huzoori (constantly alert and in the presence of Allah)/ Salaat-e-Rooh is prevention of the gaze from looking at others.

    REMEDY FOR KHAFI: is Shuhood (to behold the truth and to contemplate it), and Fanaa (to be annihilated or totally absorbed in Tauheed)/ Salaat-e-Khafee is man’s achieving the degree of spiritual development where reality becomes manifest to him.
    REMEDY FOR AKHFAA: is Fanaa-ul-Fanaa (i.e. to be unaware of even one’s stage of annihilation). Salaat-e-Akhfaa is true communion with Allah Ta’ala.The experience of this stage is Mi’raaj.
