Purification of The Self
these methods during Ramadan, it will be a means of cleansing our inner selves اِنْ شَــآءَالـلّٰـه. Imām Muḥammad al-Ghazālī رَحْمَةُ الـلّٰـهِ عَـلَيْه states:
Our scholars رَحْمَةُ الـلّٰـهِ عَلَيْهِمْ said:
"Three things can aid in suppressing the influence of al-nafs al-ammārah:
1. Abstaining from desires.
2. Burdening your self with worship.
3. Requesting help from Allah Almighty."[1]
An evil of the self is that it creates desires. If we abstain from acting upon these desires, it will nullify the strength of the self. The Crown of the Saints, Shaykh ꜤAbd al-Qādir al-Jīlānī رَحْمَةُ الـلّٰـهِ عَـلَيْه, said:
If you desire success, obey your Lord and oppose your self. If your self wishes to obey Allah Almighty, fulfil its desire, but if it wants to disobey Him, refrain from it.[2]
