Correcting, disciplining, and nurturing the soul towards goodness is a struggle for every human being on a daily basis, from the most mundane things to those that render the deeds of a person worthless.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor this reason, it is vital that we look and rectify our own-self. The soul naturally craves fame, wealth, fleeting pleasures, and temptations of this world. If left uncontrolled, the carnal-self leans and develops into a soul that is pursuing only after its own pleasures and desires, not recognising the good nor the bad – but rather what it craves for. It starts to harbour and pursue qualities such as ego, pride, anger, lust, and passion, and craves instant gratification. All of which lead to humiliation and disgrace in this life and the Hereafter, ultimately to the ruin of the soul.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe author, in his usual style addresses the issues related to the\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003enafs\u003c\/em\u003e, from the Qur’ān and the Sunnah, and he sounds the alarm; warning the reader to be cautious of the carnal self and to rectify oneself from the impurities that it inclines towards and the temptations of this fleeting world.
