NAFS AT PEACE

JAUBI have released their debut album entitled “Nafs At Peace” which features Ed “Tenderlonious” Cawthorne, Polish pianist/composer Marek “Latarnik” Pędziwiatr of EABS/Błoto and The Vox Humana Oslo Choir. It was the global of the month (April 2021) in The Guardian.

Nafs itself is an Arabic word meaning “Self” and in the Holy Qur’an, three levels/types of Nafs are described. Our album title, Nafs At Peace is inspired from a specific verse in the holy book and refers to the last purification step the self has been through. At this level, the Self no longer struggles because one has replaced negative and destructive behaviour with complete love of God. The heart becomes content in that which God is happy and pleased with. Hence, Nafs At Peace is an exploration about finding peace within oneself by becoming at peace and tranquil with God’s will.
