Allah mentions Falah in the Quran, which means having the best life both here and in the hereafter. But does the best life here mean? It's not material wealth etc. For example, two men immigrated to this country and work in a factory - one retires like that, whereas the other has big warehouses to his name. This doesn't mean he has a better life. Rasoolullah (saws) said that his generation was the best - again, not material gain. Best means living your life according to Allah's way. The more you do, the better your life is. Doesn't matter if you are in poverty etc. And when you have the best life here, you'll die with ease and have the best life in the aakhirah

How do you attain the best life? Purify your nafs. It's the nafs which spoils this life. The worst state of nafs is when it dictates your life - Nafs-e-amarah. You obey it, instead of obeying Allah. Die in this state, straight to hell. If you have regular evil thoughts, question importance of sunnah etc, you're afflicted by this lower base desire. This machine forces you to wretched actions. This is common. It's makes you do zina, interest etc even when you don't want to and know fully well is wrong. You become weak, accompany bad company. Keep your kids away from such company. You live like animals, criticise sunnah, shayookh etc


But Allah has mercy and will help you come out of this trap. First He will put you in company of friend of Allah. If desire to change, strive with the sheikh, you'll get to nafs-e-lawama, and leave nafs-e-amarah. Remorse for sins. Asks for forgiveness. Best heart to Allah is regretful/broken one after sin. Practise. Beard, purdah etc. Fighting your nafs

Next stage. Does whatever shaikh tells him. Does his Dhikr. Gets to highest stage - nafs-el-mutawa-inna. Every action in obedience to Allah. Not interested in dunya. Enjoys practising. You'll not want to leave beard etc, when people tell you to. You'll get angry. Peace, happiness in following Allah's commands.

Cure? Dhikr. Brings Allah's mercy and forgiveness. We don't want to murder people, but why leave Fajr, take interest, go cinema etc?
