motivation gets you going but discipline keeps you growing. Ibn Battaal may Allah have mercy upon him said: “Striving against one’s self is the most perfect type of Jihaad, as Allah The Almighty admiringly mentions saying BUT AS FOR HE WHO FEARED THE POSITION OF HIS LORD AND PREVENTED THE SOUL FROM [UNLAWFUL] INCLINATION…} [QURAN 79:40] This is achieved by preventing oneself from committing acts of disobedience, avoiding doubtful matters and abandoning excessive enjoyment of lawful desires in order to revel in them on a greater scale in the Hereafter, where they will be in abundance for him.”The Prophet Sallallahu alayhi Wasallam said “Shall I not inform you about the Mu’min? He is the one whom people trust with their wealth and lives. The Muslim is he from whose tongue and hand the people are safe. The Mujaahid is he who struggles with his own soul to obey Allaah. The Muhaajir is he who abandons misdeeds and sins."'ONE CAN HAVE NO SMALLER OR GREATER MASTERY THAN MASTERY OF ONESELF” said LEONARDO DA VINCI , How do you gain self-control? Perserverance This is the most powerful weapon a Muslim can employ in his or her quest for self-discipline. Whoever is determined to overcome his or her fancies, desires and evil companions, will be able to control him/herself and boost his/her self-esteem, thereby overcoming and gaining victory over them. On the other hand, a person who becomes easily vexed and impatient in demonstrating restraint, is defeated and subjugated, and becomes a slave to the devil accompanying him and his or her desire.
