Enjoinment of Accounting for Ones Self

The Prophet (SAWA) said, ‘Take account of your selves before you are held to account, and evaluate them before you are held for evaluation, and prepare yourselves for the Greatest Exposure.

Imam Ali (AS) said, ‘Restrict your lower selves by holding them accountable and control them by opposing them.

Imam Zayn al-Aabidin (AS) said, ‘O son of Adam! You will continue to thrive as long as you are the admonisher of your self, and as long as accounting for yourself is one of your concerns.

Imam al-Kazim (AS) said, 'The one who does not take account of himself every single day is not one of us. And when he performs a good deed, he should ask Allah to enable him to do more, and when he commits an evil deed, he must seek Allahs forgiveness and repent for it.
