Transpersonal Psychology: Takhalli and its Relation to the Concept of the Soul
Al Misykat : Journal of Islamic Psychology March 29, 2023 Alfian Dewan Adhayuda Prabowo, Khoiruddin Bashori
Excessive love of the world (hubb al dunya) causes heart and soul disease. Takhalli—withdrawing from the world by eliminating outward and spiritual immorality—can remove disobedience through repentance, zuhud, and muhasabah. In the concept of the soul, evil behavior arises when humans prioritize the lawwamah and ammarah nafs. The relationship between takhalli and the concept of the soul lies in the connection between the heart and soul: the heart links the spirit and the soul and is described as the deepest recess of the soul.
