5. He who subdues his soul with correct behavior -- by following the commands of Allah, worships God sincerely.
6. Yaqeen (certainty) is a branch of faith, and it comes from abundance of faith and its inward realization.
7. Allah protects the heart of those who protect their limbs from wrong actions.
