Question.
How do I fight back my nafs? I'd commit a sin and then I'd repent but then I'd do it all over again that I'm doubting the sincerity of my repentance.
Answer:
1. Keep constant with your prayers.Even if you feel like all hope is lost and your nafs will forever be consumed by pride, lust, greed and envy — continue with your prayers.
Surely, Allah (SWT) knows your losses and pains, so when you have such confidence and faith in He who created you, He will bring you out of your distress.2. Purify your soul with the Quran.
When was the last time we all read the Quran in our ever-so-busy lives? If you may not have time to read the translation of the Quran, try to read it for pleasure.
Feel the words even if you may not understand them. They have a therapeutic effect that only Allah (SWT) knows.
3. Improve your environment.
Hang out with friends that bring the best in you — those who maintain a positive spirit. Good company will nurture a greater goodness in you going as far as strengthening your deen day by day.
Talk to those you trust about your problems. Perhaps they may share the same troubles or may make you see through your choices and decisions if they happen to be motivated by impure intentions. They’ll have foresight into a situation that you may look back to and regret.
4. Purify your intentions.
Try to think about why you do the things you do. Do you ever feel unsure about your decisions? Do you feel like the action you are about to do is something you would share with others or hide from others?
All of these questions should be running through your mind before you take a step. You’ll be able to see through your nafs easier than before.
5. Get involved in the community around you.
