Advice to those who take from the religion only what suits their desires

Question:
He asks: Is there any advice for those whose adherence to the religion has weakened, or who have focused on one aspect and neglected another, so that they no longer take from the religion except what suits their desires?

Answer:
This is the action of the Jews, or as it is said: This is the characteristic of the Jews, may Allah protect us from it. It is obligatory for the Muslim, it is obligatory for the Muslim, to accept the truth, whether it agrees with his desire or contradicts his desire.
Because most souls desire evil; they desire idleness, , so do not follow what agrees with your self, even if it contradicts the evidence and contradicts the truth, even if whoever said it among the scholars said it. The criterion is what the evidence indicates, not the statements; the criterion is what the evidence has established among the statements. It does not absolve your conscience that so-and-so said that, never, as long as you know that it contradicts the evidence, this does not absolve your conscience.
So the one who does not take except what agrees with his desire has in this a resemblance to the Jews, and the Muslim accepts the truth whether it agrees with his desire or does not contradict his desire. Indeed, it came in the hadith: Imam al-Nawawi authenticated it in his book al-Arba'in, .
So the Muslim makes his desire and his wish to follow what the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) brought, because that is the good. Perhaps he will dislike it at first, then it becomes clear to him that it is a source of benefit. And what agrees with his desire will be the very harm in the future. Yes.
The Muslim must adhere to obeying the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) and contradict his desire, and not be among those who took their desires as their gods, ? This is a warning. A person does not follow his desire, but rather he follows the pure Shari'ah. Yes.
