Hadith 4

A study on Hadith Four of An-Nawawi's Forty, the stages of creation in the womb and the breathing in of the soul. Covers the hadith itself with full source, a scholarly note on the word nutfah held with appropriate caution, and Surah As-Sajdah 32:9, Surah Sad, and Surah Al-Isra 17:70 on dignity granted before any accomplishment. Brings in Carl Rogers on conditional versus unconditional worth, al-Ghazali's map of the nafs, qalb, and ruh, and Seyyed Hossein Nasr on the modern forgetting of the sacred self. Includes a real worksheet section to trace one area of earned worth back to where you first learned it had to be produced.
