Wai_Whai: Jihad al-Nafs: one of the key element that is crucial for you to stay Istiqamah; remain firm on the straight path within the bounds that Allah has laid down. Control your temptation to do the forbidden or undesired and go back to the old habits. Fight with your inner self and push yourself to keep going against your own low desires and/or devil. How many times have we heard this teaching; replace bad deeds and habits with good ones? Decrease your bad habits and increase your good habits. Slowly but surely you will succeed in replacing and wiping the bad habits that you possess, Biiznillah.
