[1] \u00a0 We very much appreciate this question, as after analysing of Arabic and English translations, it was found that almost in all English translations, including ours, several \u2018Arabic\u2019 terms are not translated properly.\u00a0 However, the less than ideal translation of the some of the Islamic terms, would not significantly affect the general reader but will certainly not help in developing a \u2018higher level Maurifat\u2019 (understanding the Divine Instructions \u2013 mysticism.) \n The compilation of the Ahadith in this article is by no means complete as only a fraction of the Ahadith dealing with the subject are cited.

Also for the ease of the readers, the Islamic \u2018terms\u2019 under discussion, are highlighted in lengthy Ahadith (as most of the readers will only be interested in the sentences in which these Arabic terms are explained).\u00a0 Some of the lengthy Ahadith related to secondary relevance (to the topic) are cited in the Appendices to ensure that the article is infortmative but concise.

\n In addition, some other related terms, which are directly related to the \u2018Nafs\u2019 and \u2018Ruh\u2019 are also covered, including \u2018Qalb\u2019 and \u2018Aql\u2019 (usually translated as heart and wisdom\/intellegence) \u2018Waaswisa\u2019 (inspiration from Iblis) and \u2018Fitna\u2019 (mischief, strife).\u00a0 The terms Al-Hikmah (wisdom) and the \u2018Sadoor\u2019 (chest) are explained in the appendices.

We will revise this article in the near future in the light of the comments from our readers as well as when more Ahadith of Ahl Al-Bayt -asws are archived.\u00a0 We will also compile a separate article explaining some other Islamic terms in the near furture, insha Allah -azwj .
