Imprisoned

"To be imprisoned behind bars is a loss, but to be imprisoned by one's own desires and to become a slave to one's self is the ultimate loss." ~ Imam Ibn Al-Qayyim

  2. @ to be imprisoned by one's own desires ....

    DID You SEE the one WHO CHOSE HIS OWN DESIRES AS HIS GOD? so will you accept the responsibility of guarding him?

    Or do you think that most of them hear or reason? They are not except like livestock(CATTLE). Rather, they are [EVEN] MORE ASTRAY in [their] way.
    QURAN[25:43-44]

  3. Narrated 'Umar bin Al-Khattab: The Prophet said, "The rewards (of deeds) are according to the intention, and everybody will get the reward for what he has intended. So whoever emigrated for Allah's and His Apostle's sake, his emigration was for Allah and His Apostle; and whoever emigrated for worldly benefits, or to marry a woman, then his emigration was for the thing for what he emigrated for."
