Abstract
As Allah Almighty has appointed His good servants, prophets, saints, Infallibles
Imams, and scholars to guide people and teach them religious laws and spiritual
perfections, similarly, the rejected Satan has sent against them his disciples in
different guises and forms in fields of religion, education, politics, culture, sports,
entertainment and different walks of life. Therefore, it is necessary for human
beings to train their selves and get rid of animal-characteristics. As Allah
Almighty says in the Quran: "Satan can misguide only those people who make
him their guardian", He also says: “Satan cannot have any effect on my servants”.
Allah has not left this universe without a guide. He has sent Prophets for guidance
of mankind in every period according to the needs of the time. Quran and the
conduct of the Holy Prophet (Peace Be Upon Him) are the best models for getting
rid of satanic attributes.
It is necessary to know that Satan never makes a person do an illegal act, rather he
brings him near the illegal act and leaves him there. If attraction towards the sin
overcomes the person, he himself keeps on going toward it. We will mention and
analyze it in details later in this article. Hence in order to avoid this attraction
(towards sins) self-purification is necessary. Due to importance of self-
purification, we have selected this topic for research.
In this article we have tried to use the Quranic verses and hadiths as much as
possible and to mention different points of view of other authors for description
too. Due to lack of books and resources we have mentioned some things from
other books which were mentioned there along with the references. We have
presented a list of those books at the end. As the year of publication of some
books was not mentioned on their title, therefore we have mentioned their
respective publishers as reference.
It is not a virtue that a person does not perform a sin due to absence of eyes or
does not perform a forbidden act due to lack of hands or he is unable to take steps
towards sins due to lack of feet, rather it will be a great success if a person retains
himself from illegal deeds despite having ability and temptation to perform them.
If we will protect ourselves from sins in our early age only then we will be able to
support the truth in our practical lives in future.
