Ibn al-Qayyim ya ce, "Adawa da sha'awoyi na son rai za su ba bawa damar samun ƙarfi a jikinsa, zuciyarsa, da maganarsa. Wasu daga cikin magabatan salihai suna cewa, rinjayar sha'awoyin son rai na bukatar ƙarfi fiye da wanda zai iya cin nasarar birni shi kaɗai."10

Zamani yana koya wa mutane cewa hana wa kai abin da kake so zai iya sa ka rauni, ka yi rashin lafiya, ko ma ya haifar da matsalolin tunani. Amma a gaskiya, hana kai abubuwan sha'awa na asali tushe ne na ƙarfi ga jiki, zuciya, da hankali.
