FOLLOWING THE Longings OF THE NAFS
The seventh of the diseases of the heart is to enjoy the
hunger (shahwat) or wants or delights of the nafs. Grotesqueness of
these sorts of activities of the nafs is plainly conveyed in the
âyats of the Qur'ân. Moreover, it is additionally imparted in the
Qur'ân that following the longings of the nafs makes one withdraw
from the way of Allâhu ta'âlâ. For, the nafs consistently needs to deny
the presence of Allâhu ta'âlâ and to be die-hard or to rebel
against Him.
