伊本·盖伊姆说："违抗私欲，能使仆人在身体、心灵和言语上获得力量。一些虔诚的前人说过，战胜私欲所需的力量，比一个人独自攻克一座城池所需的力量还要大。"10

Ibn al-Qayyim said, “Opposing base desires will allow the servant to acquire strength in his body, his heart, and his speech. Some of the righteous predecessors would say that conquering base desires needs more strength than one who could conquer a city by himself.”10

现代观念教导人们，压抑自己的欲望会使人变得软弱、生病，甚至引发心理问题。但事实上，对自身基本欲望的克制，恰恰是身体、心灵和思想的力量之源。

Modernity teaches people that depriving yourself of what you desire can make you weak, ill, or even cause psychological problems. But in reality, deprivation with respect to our base desires is a source of strength for body, heart, and mind
