Performing good deeds and inviting others to do the same is a great way of purifying the self. Pious deed 24 from the Pious Deeds booklet says:

Today, have you delivered or listened to at least one Islamic dars (in a masjid, shop, marketplace etc., wherever it is convenient)?

Through the blessings of acting upon this deed, we invite others towards goodness and perform good deeds ourselves. May Allah Almighty grant us the ability to act upon the Pious Deeds booklet. اٰمین

(3) Request help from Allah Almighty

The most effective way in which we can purify our self is to always seek help from Allah Almighty because al-nafs al-ammārah is a rebellious enemy. The Devil possessed knowledge and was a great worshipper, but even he could not overcome his self, and now he is a disbeliever and forever disgraced. How can we fight against it? It is only with the aid of Allah Almighty that we can be successful. The words of Prophet Yusuf عَـلَيْـهِ الـسَّـلاَم are mentioned in the Quran:

اِنَّ  النَّفۡسَ لَاَمَّارَۃٌۢ بِالسُّوۡٓءِ  اِلَّا مَا رَحِمَ  رَبِّیۡ ؕ

Translation from Kanz al-ꜤIrfān: Indeed the soul excessively commands evil except for one upon whom my Lord bestows mercy.^[1]

Al-nafs al-ammārah commands us to do evil, and nobody is safe from it except those upon whom Allah Almighty has mercy.
