Ethics - How Far is Heaven?

Pearl of Wisdom

'The Prophet (SAWA) dispatched an army, over whom he appointed a commander and ordered them to listen to him and to obey him. He [the commander] set ablaze a fire and ordered them to jump in it. Some people refused to enter it, saying, 'Verily we flee from the fire', whilst others intended to enter it. The Prophet (SAWA) was informed of this, about which he (SAWA) said, 'Had they entered it, they would have remained therein forever [i.e. the Hellfire].' And he said, 'There is no obedience due to [one who calls to] Allah's disobedience. Rather obedience is due [when calling] for the good.'

Imam Ali ibn Abi Talib [as]

Tanbih al-Khawatir, v. 1, p. 51

Ethics - How Far is Heaven?

In the Holy Qur'an

But as for him who is awed to stand before his Lord and forbids the soul from (following) desires, his refuge will indeed be paradise (79:40-41)

In the Traditions

The Prophet said, “The most courageous of people is he who overcomes his desires.”

The Prophet said, “A strong person is not one who overcomes people, but a strong person is one who overcomes his own self.”

Imam Ali said, “Prohibiting one’s self from desire is the greater Jihad.”

Prophet Solomon said, “Someone who prevails over his desires is stronger than he who captures a city by himself.”
