Itminaan

इत्मीनान
also written: Itminan
Meaning

Contentment, assurance, tranquil certainty of heart.

Usage & notes

Itminaan carries the Quranic resonance of the assured, tranquil soul (nafs-e-mutma'inna); Iqbal honours the deep certainty that comes from faith while distinguishing it from the smug contentment that ends all striving.
