Hadhrat Aqdas Hakeem Muhammed Akhtar Saheb (Damat Barkatuhum) mentioned in one of his lectures that, "Everyone desires peace and contentment in this world. No person desires misery and wretchedness. Is there any person in this gathering that wants misery? It is a universal desire to have peace. Even a Kafir desires peace. Both the poor and the rich deserve it. There cannot be anyone besides one who is insane, who desires restlessness. The citizens and the ruler, the learned and the ignorant all of them desire peace. Anyone claiming enjoyment in the life of wretchedness will surely be referred to the doctor to have his head examined."

An important point to keep in mind at all times is that it is imperative to abundantly repent and literally beg Allah to forgive us and grant us the capacity and the strength to abstain from sins, for merely it is only through his mercy that we will find the strength to evade the evils of Shaytaan and Nafs. Two Duas we should recite excessively are:

"O Allah forgive and have mercy-you are the best of the merciful."
"O Allah have mercy upon me by giving me the inspiration to leave sin, and do not make me unfortunate through disobeying you."
May Allah bless us all with this bond which can only be truly understood by his Awliyaa (friends of Allah).
