*When your personal desire overwhelms; your credibility of credentials is in question?????

*Very truely & perfectly said by Shaikh Ibn al-`Uthaymeen رحمه الله:*
*❝As for the Nafs (self) – and we seek Allaah’s refuge from its evil which influences the person and makes him chase his desires so that he becomes the slave of his desires. And when the desires become dominant, the intellect fades away.❞*
[Sharh Riyaadh al-Saaliheen]

*والنفس- نعوذ بالله من شرها- تسترق الإنسان وتملي عليه الهوى فيكون خاضعاً لهواها، وإذا غلب الهوى؛ زال العقل*
-- شرح رياض الصالحين
Allaah says in Holy Quran:
﴿أَفَرَأَيْتَ مَنِ اتَّخَذَ إِلَـٰهَهُ هَوَاهُ وَأَضَلَّهُ اللَّـهُ عَلَىٰ عِلْمٍ وَخَتَمَ عَلَىٰ سَمْعِهِ وَقَلْبِهِ وَجَعَلَ عَلَىٰ بَصَرِهِ غِشَاوَةً فَمَن يَهْدِيهِ مِن بَعْدِ اللَّـهِ ۚ أَفَلَا تَذَكَّرُونَ﴾
{Have you seen him who takes his own lust (vain desires) as his ilaah (god), and Allaah knowing (him as such), left him astray, and sealed his hearing and his heart, and put a cover on his sight. Who then will guide him after Allaah? Will you not then remember?} [Surah al-Jaathiyah (45): 23]
