life is but a breath

The word "nafs" in Arabic translates to "self" or "soul / life-force"

However the word "tanafas" in Arabic means "to breathe" and derives from the same root (n-f-s)

This should be a clue to us that all our lives, our selves (our nafs) is so short... it is the length of a mere "breath" in the grand scheme of things
