"The saints have said, Even suppose ALLAH should forgive thee, after a wasted life, thou wilt not attain to the ranks of the righteous and must deplore they loss; therefore keep a strict watch over thy tongue, thine eye, and each of thy seven members, for each of these is, as it were, a possible got to hell.
So say to thy flesh (nafs), "if thou art rebellious, verily I will punish thee', for though these senses is headstrong , it is capable of receiving instructions and can be tamed by austerity".
Such then, is the aim of self- examination, and the Prophet has said, "Happy is he who does now that which will benefit him after death"
