That paper looks like a fascinating framework (and the visuals are especially helpful). I actually learned very similar “inner categories” from my teacher years ago, and it’s interesting to see a modern psychology lens mapping something that feels so familiar spiritually.
And that duʿā’ is exactly on theme for this series:
“O Allah, Turner of hearts, keep my heart firm upon Your religion.”
May Allah keep our hearts steady and returning—especially in Ramadan. Ameen! 🤲
Simple and beautiful msA
There's a scientific paper that gives a nice visual for the psych categories that can be found here

and I also remembered the hadith
اللهم يا مقلب القلوب ثبت قلبي على دينك
Loosely translated oh Allah who is capable of changing hearts effortlessly, Keep my heart upon your religion
Thanks for sharing this—really appreciate it.
