Remedy: The remedy lies in abstaining from pondering over the private circumstances of others. One should practice patience and gratitude for whatever Allah Almighty has bestowed upon them. By observing those of a lower socioeconomic status, one should offer thanks to Allah. Furthermore, studying the biographies of the Pious Predecessors رَحِمَهُمُ الـلّٰـهُ and reflecting upon their daily conduct will incline the heart towards virtue and goodness.

4. Negligence Regarding Self-Reformation

A significant cause for following the nafs and Satan is the failure to focus on one’s own reformation. An individual who does not practice self-accountability (muhāsabah) remains oblivious to their own flaws and sins. Thus, they persist in following Satan, committing sin after sin.

Remedy: Such an individual ought to hold their nafs accountable daily, a practice referred to in the religious environment of Dawat-e-Islami as "Taking account of Pious Deeds." Before retiring to bed at night, one should reflect: "What righteous deeds have I performed today? What sins or evil acts have I committed?" One should reproach the nafs for its transgressions and vow not to repeat them. اَلْـحَمْـدُ لـِلّٰـه, the "72 Pious Deeds" (72 Naik A’maal) granted by the Spiritual Guide, the Amir Ahl al-Sunnah دَامَـتْ بَـرَكَـاتُـهُـمُ الْـعَـالِـيَـهْ, are immensely helpful in performing this self-accountability. Furthermore, reviewing one's pious deeds daily and submitting the booklet every month is one of the twelve religious works of the local circle (Zayli Halqah). This practice is an excellent means of preparing for the grave and the Hereafter. Therefore, you too should act upon Pious Deeds, complete the booklet daily, and submit it to the relevant representative within the first ten days of every month. اِنْ شَــآءَالـلّٰـه, this will foster a mindset to avoid the malicious disease of following Satan and other sins. اِنْ شَــآءَالـلّٰـه.
