Dealing With Diseases Of The Nafs
No disease of Nafs can be uprooted. It is a constant battle with Nafs. However, the evils of Nafs get week after losing again and again. The way to judge an evil is told in a hadith: An-Nawwas bin Sam’an (RAA) narrated, ‘I asked the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) about virtue and sin and he replied, “The essence of virtue is (manifested in) good morals (Akhlaq) whereas sinful conduct is that which turns in your heart (making you feel uncomfortable) and you dislike that it would be disclosed to other people.” Related by Muslim. There is only one way to battle the evil of nafs, and that is to listen to your conscience and have fear of God.
