Jihad Al Nafs Quotes

“Qatâdah said: “Allâh created angels with reason and no desires, animals with desires and no reason, and man with both reason and desires.” So if a man’s reason is stronger than his desire he is like an angel, and if his desires are stronger than his reason, then he is like an animal.”
― Ibn Qayyim al-Jawziyya, Patience and Gratitude
