I have known of these concepts for a long time. The source of these concepts is the holy quran and other Muslims besides Sufis recognize them as well. Amarra is described in chapter 12 verse 54. Awamma is described in chapter 75 verse 3. Mutmaina is described in chapter 89 verses 28-31 and then in chapter 91 verses 10-11. These verses may also be 12:53, 75: 2. 89: 27 depending on the copy of the quran that you refer to! just read this article and it seemed to me that she was implying that the concepts of Nafs al Amarra, Nafs al Awamma and Nafs al
