For the third installment in a series dedicated to introducing the science of "purifying the self", Imam Mokhtar covers one of the most fundamental aspects of this subject and that is the ability of Shaitan to corrupt our hearts and the need for us to be on constant guard against this. Ironically, the way we allow him to corrupt our hearts is through the very character attributes that WE choose to have and especially how we utilize our seven bodily senses (the eyes, ears, tongue, hands, legs, stomach, and sexual organs). This thought-provoking lecture should inspire one to re-examine his or her own daily conduct and to question and investigate his or her own inner state that results from this use (or misuse). This lecture is necessary for all Muslims because it is essential for the 'nafs' (the core of the human being) to attain a purified balance so that one can have a sound state of the mind which leads to sincere and wholesome conduct.

"Shaitan finds his way inside our [heart] through simply the attributes that we endue ourselves with... attributes of miserliness and greed, of envy, of arrogance, of being self-impressed, of hate, of anger, of lack of fairness, of love and attachment for dunya, love and attachment for social status, and so on... All of those Shaitan simply finds and when we have those characteristics, we have invited Shaitan inside our [heart]... Shaitan comes into our [heart] by the very attributes that we choose to have."

"And when we speak of morals, could a person who is an atheist have good morals? Could a person who is an atheist do good things? The answer is yes, sometimes. But the question is for what? What's the point? Because a person who does not believe in God, what is moral becomes relative for him or her. What makes him or her feel good and satisfied, then that becomes good."
