Purification of the Soul - Imam Ibn Qudamah Al-Maqdisi

 Purification Of The Soul By Imam Ibn Qudamah Al-Maqdisi Allah, The Most High Says: "Those who purify their souls have succeeded and those who corrupt their souls have failed." [Qur'an (91): 9-10]

Purifying the soul is the key to reforming the believer and succeeding in the daily battles against the diverse facets of the lower self, such as: pride, selfishness, arrogance, greed, lust, miserliness and other destructive tendencies. The true servant of Allah pays great attention to his inner thoughts and feelings. He works hard to rein them in, and not run headlong into disobedience of Allah, the Most Exalted.
