Man’s greatest struggle is with his own desires According to Jabir, when the Muslims returned from an expedition, the Prophet said to them: “You have returned from a minor struggle (Jihad) to a major one.” They asked him what that major struggle was. “The struggle engaged in by a servant of God to control his own desires,” replied the Prophet. (JAMI‘ AL-ULUM WA AL-HIKAM)
