[5]. Each of you must know how to control his own body being aware of your physical impulses, desires, and actions.
It is all about chastity, avoiding forbidden acts, and maintaining moral integrity In spiritual purity and honor living in a way that is pleasing to Allāh, avoiding sin and immoral actions, maintaining dignity, integrity, and respect for oneself and others.
The bodily control is not just about abstaining from sin, but also about living with spiritual nobility, being available for Allah’s purpose and separated from things profane.
This explains the reason for controlling the body: to dedicate oneself fully to Allāh, avoiding actions, desires, or distractions that are contrary to Allah’s guidance.
Essentially, the body is being treated as a tool for worship and good deeds, not for indulgence in what is forbidden or spiritually harmful.
True devotion starts with self-control and bodily discipline.
A person should live in moral purity and honor, not letting base desires dominate.
This prepares one to serve Allāh fully, free from the distractions or corruption of worldly temptations.
