Understanding Tazkiyah: The Path of Purifying the Soul

What is Tazkiyah?

Tazkiyah literally means to purify and grow. In the spiritual context, it is the process of cleansing the heart from spiritual diseases like pride, envy, and greed, and decorating it with virtues like sincerity, patience, and gratitude.

To begin this path, one must start with daily self-accounting (Muhasabah), constant repentance (Tawbah), and establishing a consistent routine of morning and evening supplications.
