With patience, the desires and lusts are repelled and with certainty, the doubts are repelled. The desire (Shahwah) and the doubt (Shubhah) are in opposition to the religion from every single aspect. None will be saved from the punishment of Allaah except the one who repelled his desires with patience and his doubts with his certainty.

This is why Allaah, free from all imperfection, informed about the loss and ruin of the actions of the people of doubts, lusts and desires: "Like those before you, they were mightier than you in power, and more abundant in wealth and children. They had enjoyed their portion awhile, so enjoy your portion awhile as those before you enjoyed their portion awhile…" [Soorah at-Taubah (9):69]
