Her ne kadar benlik ifadesi nefs kavramını tam olarak karşılamasa da nefsin benliğe bakan bir tarafı da vardır. Burada benliğin dönüşümünün arınma ile nasıl gerçekleştiğini sebep, süreç ve hedeflerini belirterek arınmanın psikolojik boyutlarını ortaya koymaya çalışacağım. Çünkü Arınma sadece tasavvufi bir süreç değil aynı zamanda psikolojik bir süreçtir. Burada tövbe, tefekkür, riyazet ve zühd, rabıta, zikir, halvet, muhasebe ve murakabenin psikolojik boyutunu ortaya koyarak arınma sürecini değerlendirmeye çalışacağım.</p></abstract>

                            <p>In this study I am trying to explain the mistic dimension of Islam – sufism- and its psychological features with purification of self. Although the concept of self doesn’t exactly match with the sufi concept: nefs. Nefs has got a side related with the self. By giving the reasons, processes and targets of purification, I am trying to explain self transformation with prufication. Because Purification is not only a mystic process but also a psychological process. Here I am trying to evaluate the process of purification by explaining the psychological dimension of repentation, contemplation, ascetism and renunciation, invocation, retreat, selfcriticism, selfobservation.</p></trans-abstract>
