This critically important section discusses the means of developing steadfastness, especially when dealing with one’s sinful desires, urges and inclinations. Having commanded His servants to demonstrate steadfastness, Allah has also provided them with the means of developing it. In fact, Allah always provides His servants with the means by which they might adhere to any of His commands, just as He points them to the remedies for the diseases and conditions that might afflict them. It is then up to His servants to seek His guidance to these treatments and measures.
