Purification of The Self
The pious man explained, “You are enslaved by greed and lust, whereas these desires are my slaves. Therefore, you are the slave of my slaves.”
If someone conquers the world but cannot overcome his self and suppress inner evils such as lust, greed, pride and jealousy, he is not successful, in reality, he is a slave. May Allah Almighty grant us freedom from our self, protection from the devil and our self, and the ability to obey Allah Almighty, alone.
اٰمین بِجاہِ خَاتَمِ النَّبِیّٖن صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم
صَلُّوۡا عَلَى الۡحَبِيۡب صَلَّى اللّٰهُ عَلٰى مُحَمَّد
O devotees of the Prophet! Purifying al-nafs al-ammārah (the self which commands wrong) is necessary, otherwise it can drown us in the pleasures of this world and lead us into the pits of Hell by making us habitual in sin and disobedience. So, instead of looking for faults within others, we must focus on how we can better ourselves.
Sayyidunā Abū Sulaymān al-Dārānī رَحْمَةُ الـلّٰـهِ عَـلَيْه said, “Opposing the self is the greatest deed.”[1]
