“Real strength and generosity lie in mastering your passions; and self-control is displayed in taking what is lawful for you and generosity in giving what is due from you. Profit by your own knowledge and be warned by the actions of others. Fight against your lower nature in every detail of your life, to the best of your capacity, in order to do the right between God and man. Do not look for an excuse where there is none, or follow passion. For, verily, precipitation in desire is delicious, but its end is disastrous”.
Extract from Qadi Al Numan’s Da’im al Islam, Ahd Document.
