Ibn Al-Qayyim said:
Difficulty in leaving (bad) habits and practices is only
really faced by people who try to leave them for other than Allāh. As for the
person who leaves them honestly and sincerely from his heart for Allāh, then he
does not find any difficulty in leaving them except in the very beginning, in
order to test whether he is really truthful in leaving them or not. If he is
patient over this initial hardship for a short while, it turns into pleasure.
Al-Fawā’id p156.
