Ibn Hazm on Training the Nafs

Ibn Hazm رحمه الله said:

"Training the nafs (the inner self) is harder than taming a lion."

The more I reflect on this statement, the truer it seems.
SubḥānAllāh.

The Mind Carries the Wounds of the Heart | WORDS OF AZRAQ

The mind carries the wounds of the heart.

Some scars are never seen, yet they shape the way we think, perceive and live.

Scars that become shackles bringing us down.

The one who can break free from those shackles...the one who can overcome the mind can overcome anything.
