From the book:
When one handles this significantly elaborate topic of soul purification and its aspects in light of verses and authentic ahadith, one deduces solid principles and comprehensive foundational rules that pave the way to purifying souls.
The most significant principle in this respect is that soul purification is a divine blessing. Allah only sanctifies whom He wills. Allah; the Almighty; says;
“Have you not seen those who claim sanctity for themselves? Nay; but Allah sanctifies whom He pleases.” [Surah An-Nisa' 4:49]
Allah says;
“And had it not been for the Grace of Allah and His Mercy on you; not one of you would ever have been pure from sins. But Allah purifies (guides to Islam) whom He wills; and Allah is All-Hearer; All-Knower.” [Surah An-Nur 24:21]
Allah also says;
“They regard as a favor upon you (O Mu?ammad) that they have embraced Islam. Say: ‘Count not your Islam as a favor to me. Nay; but Allah has conferred a favor upon you; that He has guided you to the Faith if you indeed are true.'” [Surah Al-Hujurat 49:17]
