Ibn al-Qayyim on Abandoning Bad Habits for the Sake of Allah



Abandoning Bad Habits for the Sake of Allāh

Ibn al-Qayyim (رحمه الله) stated: “One only finds difficulty in quitting habits when  he leaves them for other than Allāh. As for the one who quits them truthfully and sincerely from his heart for Allāh then he only finds difficulty in quitting at the very beginning, to ascertain whether he is truthful or lying about stopping. So if he is patient with that hardship for a little while, it will turn into delight”
