The Divine Wisdom on Self-Regulation
The Quran emphasizes the importance of purifying the soul and controlling desires.
Surah Ash-Shams (91:7–10)
وَنَفْسٍ وَمَا سَوَّاهَا فَأَلْهَمَهَا فُجُورَهَا وَتَقْوَاهَا قَدْ أَفْلَحَ مَن زَكَّاهَا وَقَدْ خَابَ مَن دَسَّاهَا
""And by the soul and He who proportioned it and inspired it with discernment of its wickedness and its righteousness. Successful indeed is the one who purifies it, and failed indeed is the one who corrupts it.""
Reflection:
Self-regulation begins with self-purification. Success belongs to success those who discipline and improve their character.

""But as for the one who feared standing before his Lord and restrained the soul from its desires, then Paradise will be his refuge.""
