A Muslim is aware that Allah has given them the strength to control their lower self. They do not surrender to every spontaneous emotion they feel, instead they assess their feelings against the morality of the Qur'an in order to make sure they are in compliance. This is possible only with the profound love and fear of Allah, and Muslims strive to control their lower self in order to achieve success in Allah's eyes. Allah has given the Person the strength to defeat their lower self, as long as they are Muslim and follow the teachings of the Qur'an. Every Person has the burden of fighting their lower self, and if they have fear of Allah and obey His teachings, He will make matters easy for them.

Muslims should not surrender to their lower self, and instead should strive to defeat it in order to reach true success.
