Refinement Notes


Refinement Notes is a monthly series from Nafsychology™, published on the last Thursday of each month. Each Note traces one careful bridge between psychological typology, Islamic teachings on the Nafs, and the slow work of character refinement.

Nafsychology observes these resonances without claiming equivalence between typological constructs and revealed categories. In this space, we treat psychology as a lamp, not a verdict; keeping typology answerable to revelation rather than to scores.

Core Explainers


Core Explainers are evergreen reference pages. They clarify scope, guardrails, and first principles, so the monthly Refinement Notes can stay lean without repeating foundations.
