Sheikh 'Abd al-Hamid Kishk
According to the teaching of al-Islam, the desires and appetites play a vital part in the makeup of every human being; they cannot be ignored. The children of Adam, unlike the angels, face the challenge in this life of mastering these forces within us. If we fall to do so, then we become the servants of our appetites and this fall below the level of the animal kingdom.
