Advice for one whose soul struggles with forbidden acts in seclusion

Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, I love good and I love the people of good, and I try to follow their example, and I display this to people. But my soul struggles with me strongly when I am in seclusion to commit forbidden acts. What do you advise me?

Answer:
I advise you to persist in loving good and loving the people of good. Even if there is sometimes in your soul some struggle toward evil, this is the nature of humans. As long as a person has not acted, and it is only something in his heart, he does not sin by it. The talk of the self and the whispers of the self are not held accountable for. A person is only held accountable if he executes, if he acts or speaks, he is held accountable.
The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: My ummah is excused for mistakes, forgetfulness, and what . You follow, you speak or act. It is merely that a person has inclinations in his soul wanting the forbidden desires, or if he is alone, there may be in his soul some love of disobedience. As long as he has not executed and has not acted, he does not sin by it.
But he must, along with this, advise his soul and remember meeting Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He). He should remember the warning and the punishment, and remember what Allah has prepared for the disobedient as a penalty. This helps him to leave these intentions and these inclinations.
Seek refuge in Allah from Satan. A person should increase seeking refuge in Allah from the accursed Satan, because these inclinations and these bad thoughts come from Satan and from the soul that commands evil. If a person seeks refuge in Allah, then Allah protects him and guards him from that. Yes.
