Changing What is in Oneself.

To this end, superficiality should be abandoned. Allah shows us that the only way to change what is in ourselves is to make a sincere and profound change with a sense of fear of Him, faith and zeal. Allah has promised great blessings to those who change what is in themselves and adopt the moral perfection which is worthy of His good pleasure. This change must be sincere, profound, and made with a sense of fear of Allah, faith and zeal. A person must recognize the wickedness of their lower-self and not surrender to its desires and passions, instead purifying and disciplining it, reproaching and criticizing it. To make such a change, superficiality must be abandoned. Allah's promise of blessings is a powerful incentive to make this change, and those who do not heed it may find their blessings reduced. Allah merely wants to punish them by means of them in this world and for them to expire while they are unbelievers."A person must strive to change and be sincere in order to earn Allah's good pleasure. Allah will never wrong anyone, and if he has not changed, it's because of weaknesses that must be addressed. Allah listens and knows all, and demands sincerity in a person. The change Allah speaks of is a deep, sincere intention to not display a morality displeasing to Allah. If one is sincere, he can find the right path with Allah's help and increase his blessings. However, Allah can also test faith by decreasing blessings, and these changes may not always be a sign of bad morality. Allah's blessings can be seen as a blessing or a test, depending on the situation. Believers should consider all possibilities and examine their own shortcomings if they are experiencing a loss in blessings. Seeking Allah's refuge and repenting are also important steps to take. On the other hand, if a person is experiencing an increase in blessings, they should give thanks to Allah and strive to be more moral and deserving of Allah's mercy.
