The power of the Desire

Shahwah (desire or lower appetite) is the general expression of all lower desires. Some of the lower appetites can pose a very strong temptation towards forbidden pleasures. The powerful urge at times affects people to a degree that it makes them even ignore the threat of divine punishment. Otherwise, who 

would aspire to harams in the face of all the torment that will follow? No one.


If there were no enjoyment in haram things, there would be no meaning of testing. No one is tempted to something that isn’t attractive. Is there any intelligent person who hungrily tries to eat soil? Is it possible for a sane person 

to gnaw wood with pleasure? That’s why Allah has connected certain forbidden things to our natural lusts and desires. The issues on which this feature intensifies and attracts people the most are generally gathered around the following three points:

• Wealth

• Fame

• Desire


These three issues are the three places where the lower self can easily overcome our spiritual side. These have been the keys to both eternal losses and gains for people. While the ones who are not deceived and keep their way 

with a strong will win, those who are defeated by their lower desires and take unlawful ways are always disappointed. 


Many have used “wealth, fame, and lust” as a trap in order to defeat the other side in a struggle because it melts weak wills and destroys them.

Challenges Faced by Community Health Practitioners

Community health practitioners face various challenges in fulfilling their roles effectively, including resource constraints and training needs.
