View More I have seen people saying to "control your nafs". My question is how can we do that? Like the practical steps. How can we control our desires. Lately I feel I have become a victim of my own nafs. I keep committing sins. Sins vary from open to private. Sometimes I feel like committing the sin will be the only option to be at ease (knowing very well that what I am doing is wrong and i will feel intense guilt afterwards). I really hate myself to be in this situation. So kindly guide me, how can I kill my nafs or make it under my control?

Assalamu Alaikum everyone,
I’m posting here because I am at a very low point emotionally and spiritually, and I really need some advice and motivation to reconnect with Allah.
Recently, I went through a situation where someone I deeply trusted treated me with immense coldness, deceit, and injustice. It completely shattered my peace, and honestly, it feels like it ruined a major part of my life and mental health. I’ve been struggling with intense anger and a deep desire for justice. I want them to realize the gravity of the pain they caused me, and it hurts seeing them move on completely unbothered.
Because I’ve been so drained, overwhelmed, and emotionally crushed, my energy has hit zero, and I’ve fallen completely behind on my prayers. Now, I’m stuck in a loop where I feel unworthy of turning to Allah or asking Him for help because I haven't been praying consistently.
I really want to start praying again and fix my heart, but every time I try, I feel so heavy and defeated.
if anyone has been through this, how do you force yourself to start praying again when you feel completely broken? also any reminders or hadiths about Allah’s justice for someone who was wronged would mean a lot right now.
Please keep me in your duas. JazakAllah Khair.

So something I've been thinking about recently is the importance of community in Islam.
Ultimately, Islam is about our individual relationship with our Creator. Each of us will stand before God alone, accountable for our own choices. But one of those choices will be how we carry ourselves in relation to the people around us right. Our environment and our community are a part of our test.
For example, why is a public shahadah important if imaan is ultimately a matter of the heart right? Because becoming Muslim doesn't just affect you. It means other Muslims now have rights and responsibilities towards you, and you towards them.
Also, why is a public marriage important? Because a marriage doesn't only unite two individuals. It affects families, social responsibilities, and the wider community.
Something else I've noticed is the number of people who ask, "My imaan feels weak, what should I do?" (Though quite often these posts get deleted pretty quick) More often than not, one of the biggest factors is the company we keep. We are social creatures. Surrounding ourselves with people of good character, good adab, and sincere faith can really influence our own hearts. And Shaytan knows that isolation makes us more vulnerable.
So perhaps it's worth asking ourselves “What kind of community am I choosing to surround myself with?” That choice itself is an act of our free will, and I wouldn't be surprised if it’s one of the things for which we’re each held accountable for on the Day of Judgment.
And Allah knows best. ^_^

A man came to the Prophet ï·º and said: "Advise me!" The Prophet ï·º replied: "Do not become angry." The man repeated his request several times, hoping for more advice, but each time the Prophet ï·º gave him the same answer: "Do not become angry." (Sahih al-Bukhari 6116)
At first glance, this seems like simple, almost obvious advice. But the repetition itself is the lesson. The Prophet ï·º wasn't just answering a question — he was pointing to anger as the root of so many other sins: harsh words we can't take back, broken relationships, decisions we regret, even violence. Controlling anger isn't a small matter; it's foundational to good character (husn al-khuluq).
Scholars have noted that anger clouds judgment and weakens a person's connection to Allah in that moment. That's why the Prophet ï·º also gave practical steps elsewhere: sit down if you're standing, make wudu if needed, and remove yourself from the situation if possible.
What strikes me most is that true strength, as the Prophet ï·º described in another hadith, isn't about overpowering others — "The strong one is not the one who overcomes people through his strength, but the one who controls himself while in anger" (Sahih al-Bukhari 6114).
I'd love to hear from others: what practical steps have helped you control your anger in difficult moments? Are there other hadiths or verses that have helped you reflect on this?
