Purity of one's heart will not be complete until he is purified from

In one of his writings, Imam ibn al-Qayyim wrote:

[لا تتم سلامة القلب حتى يسلم من خمس :  شرك يناقض التوحيد  وبدعة تخالف السنة  وشهوة خالف الأمر  وغفلة تناقض الذكر وهوى يناقض التجريد والإخلاص .]

Purity of one's heart will not be complete until he is purified from five things:

-

Shirk which acts counter to tawheed

-

Innovation which goes against the Sunnah

-

Lusts which are contrary to Allah's commands

-

Heedlessness which acts counter to remembrance 

-

Lowly desires which act counter to being exclusively and sincerely devoted to Allah

[al-Jawab al-Kafi 2/146]
