A person opposing his evil desires is difficult. That’s why the reward of resisting the evil desires of the soul is so great: { وَأَمَّا مَنْ خَافَ مَقَامَ رَبِّهِ وَنَهَى النَّفْسَ عَنِ الْهَوَى * فَإِنَّ الْجَنَّةَ هِيَ الْمَأْوَى } “But as for him who feared standing before his Lord, and restrained himself from impure evil desires and lusts... Then indeed, Paradise will be his refuge.” [Al-Nāziʿāt 79:40-41]
مخالفة الإنسان لهواه شاقة، لهذا كان أجر مقاومة هوى النفس عظيماً (وأما من خاف مقام ربه ونهى النفس عن الهوى فإن الجنة هي المأوى)
