Hawzah News Agency – The commander of the faithful, Imam Ali peace be upon him says:
اُوصِيكُم بمُجانَبَةِ الهَوى؛ فإنّ الهَوى يَدعو إلَى العَمى، وهُوَ الضَّلال في الآخِرَةِ والدُّنيا.
'I advise you to keep away from desires, for desires instigate blindness, and it is straying both in the Hereafter and in this world.'
