If you want to torture your nafs, and lose both this life and the next, then simply listen to your desires.
I find myself returning to the words of Ibn al-Qayyim (رحمة الله عليه) time and time again.
If you understood the weight of what he's saying here, you would shut the door on your desires and never look back.
Your entire life will change the moment you seize control and stop letting your nafs control you.
Read this, repeat it, and act upon it. May الله benefit us and you
Imam Ibn al-Qayyim said:
"As for desire (Shahwah), its remedy lies in the soundness of knowledge and realization: that granting the soul its desires is the greatest cause of depriving the soul of them and being barred from them altogether. Conversely, guarding the soul against them is the greatest means of attaining them.
Thus, every time you open a door of desire for the soul, you are in fact striving toward its deprivation. And every time you close that door against it, you are in fact striving to deliver those desires to the soul in their most perfected and complete form."
Tafsir Ibn al-Qayyim (2:34)
