I Want to Fight My Soul So What Is The Way? Author: Nawwal Bint Abdullaah Source: Trans. Abu Iyaad Article ID : TZK030001 [1761]
-------------------------------------------- Know that striving against the soul does not occur except by four ways. Whoever follows them and applies them to his soul will have fought against it and protected it with the help of Allaah. Ibn al-Qayyim (rh) has mentioned these ways and they are as follows:
Firstly: By holding the soul to account Secondly: By opposing it and not following its whims and desires Thirdly: By making it patient in Allaah's obedience Fourthly: By making it patient in refraining Allaah's disobedience --------------------------------------------
