if a person’s desire for disobedience of Allāh is strong, let him overcome the desire

Sheikh muḥammad ibn ṣāliḥ al-ʿuthaymīn (رحمه الله) stated:

if a person’s desire for disobedience [of Allāh] is strong, let him overcome the [desire] with the aspect of fear so that he may be deterred from it. and if a person does an act of worship, let him [be] overcome [with] the aspect of hope, which is the acceptance of it by Allāh (ﷻ).
