“Passion is like a firmly rooted tree, the eradication of which we should be dedicated. If you do not uproot passion [jn your youth] because of weakness and procrastinate, - knowing very well that the longer the wait, the stronger the tree, - the more firmly planted it will be and the weaker [with age] you become to uproot it.
Whatever you did not do while young, you certainly will not do in old age.”

1. call yourself to account while you are in comfort
2. intention setting prior to an act allows better outcomes (am i doing this for my nafs/ego?; is the devil playing a role in my intention?)
3. when you recognize that your intention may be in the wrong place, pause, realign, continue
4. be introspective in disobedience and grateful for obedience (you are guided to them by Allah’s mercy, not your own ability)
