The pious man explained, “You are enslaved by greed and lust, whereas these desires are my slaves. Therefore, you are the slave of my slaves.”

If someone conquers the world but cannot overcome his self and suppress inner evils such as lust, greed, pride and jealousy, he is not successful, in reality, he is a slave.

صَلُّوۡا عَلَى الۡحَبِيۡب                                                  صَلَّى اللّٰهُ عَلٰى مُحَمَّد

So, instead of looking for faults within others, we must focus on how we can better ourselves.

The Most Superior Act

Sayyidunā Abū Sulaymān al-Dārānī رَحْمَةُ الـلّٰـهِ عَـلَيْه said, “Opposing the self is the greatest deed.”^[1]
