Emotional people approach matters with a selfish spirit; they cry when something conflicts with their interest but a wise, conscientious person never acts egoistically.

If people do not know the goal of their creation they start showing the characteristics of an animal. They become egoistical. For instance an animal gets the meat and hide in a corner to eat it alone and snarl at others when they approach. Under the influence of the Darwinist education they are given, people start imagining that egoism is acceptable as well . They distance one another and become merciless and egoistical.

The satan claims that people will not love one another and that they would not love God. It says that people will become cruel, selfish, loveless, merciless and will shed blood. To prove itself right the satan imposes lovelessness on people with all its might.

An egoistic person could not experience love. Such people are emotional, prone to lying and are in war with themselves. Since they bring about scourges on themselves, it is not possible for them to know and experience love. A person who really loves God - one who is not egoistic- would have a superior morality. Loving such a person is a great blessing. To experience love both sides should submit to God and should be freed from egoism.

A believer should fear and love God very much; should avoid being egoistic and selfish; should keep his mind alive by constantly thinking on facts leading to faith and the miracles of the Qur’an. Only then one could be level-headed and well-balanced all the time.

People do not feel sincere love to one another because most people do not trust one another. All they know is to assume pose after pose. One needs to be in search of intelligent, wise people. Finding wise, God-fearing, selfless people and becoming friends with them is important. People who really know how to love are rare; one should never leave such people after finding them.

It is very nice to have the morality of a dervish. One doesn’t need to have broad financial means to avoid selfishness. One can be selfless and altruistic even with limited financial means. A person who is not lost in the transient pleasures of this world, who foregoes mundane goals would have zero egoism.

A profound love for God is required before all else for respect to exist. Once one’s attention is constantly given to God, respect would come about. Otherwise selfishness would develop and people would almost be reduced to a bestial state and become aggressive.

Believers live with their good conscience. A person who doesn’t live by his good conscience is actually nothing more than corpse. It is impossible for such a person to have meaningful eyes. It is ungratefulness what hurts people the most and what makes them take a dislike to one another. Believers should constantly behave conscientiously and fiercely avoid ungratefulness and selfishness.

A selfish person cannot be happy.

A selfish person kills love. For love, you should be selfless and you should know not to live for yourself but for your loved ones.

A selfish person sees other people as objects to take advantage of, not as human beings and feels no love or mercy for them.

Faith is resisting the negative suggestions of the satan. One could have doubts, but should always be on the side of and think positively about God.

Faith is to defeat the inner self, satan and the negative suggestions and to give a struggle and become victorious against those who are unscrupulous for a lifetime.

Feelings of hatred and resentment are in people’s nature. The strong will and determination that people show in defeating these feelings beautify people’s morality and make them worthy of Heaven.

In fact, it is a grave misdeed and immorality to live thinking only about one's self.

People have a tendency towards argument and conflict. With love, there would be no basis for conflict.

Getting defensive in the face of constructive criticism is an unwise reflex. Constructive criticism helps one see details and improve oneself.

It’s easy to defeat the inner self and the satan. Muslims are strong-willed.

Haters are people who have failed to control their lower selves and who are defeated by satan. Such people should be approached like a doctor would approach their patients. We need to treat haters by approaching them with compassion like a doctor approaches a patient. These people are spiritually ill.

Satan’s whisperings, doubts can come to mind any moment. But believers ignore them by means of their faith. One’s inner self, satan attacks the mind with thousands of doubts, groundless worries, but believers just ignore them.

A person who lives selfishly cannot be sincere. Only a person that lives for others can be honest and sincere.

Honesty and sincerity is crucial. Sometimes it costs a lot; it is difficult, but one has to persist in honesty and never give up.

A Muslim’s rank in Heaven raises with the intellectual struggle he gives against hypocrites, against satan and his lower-self.

The conscience is God’s inspiration to the soul. God inspires everyone to follow the right and avoid the wrong. One who follows this inspiration is conscientious.
