The Types of the Self in the Qur'an

Question:
Honorable Shaykh, are the tranquil souls in this worldly life and in the Hereafter, and what is the meaning of that?
Answer:
Allah, Glorified and Exalted, mentioned in His Book that there are three souls: the tranquil soul, the self-reproaching soul, and the soul that commands evil. The tranquil soul is the one that remains steadfast in obeying Allah, Mighty and Majestic. The self-reproaching soul is the one that reproaches its owner when he does wrong or commits a sin; it reproaches him until he repents to Allah, Mighty and Majestic. The tranquil soul and the self-reproaching soul, and the third soul, the one that commands evil, and may Allah protect us from it, is a wicked soul that commands nothing but evil, shirk (associating partners with Allah), sins, and disobedience, and having a bad opinion of Allah, Mighty and Majestic. Yes.
