It is recommended to proceed with supplicating Allah and earnestly imploring Him for well-being from self-praise, recognizing the gravity and consequences of self-adulation, minimizing interaction with people except in beneficial matters, and striving against the self by refraining from speech unless it contains good, for the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "Whoever believes in Allah and the Last Day, let him speak good or remain silent." It is also recommended to review what scholars have written about the ailments of the soul and ways to treat them, and to look into the biographies of the righteous predecessors and emulate them.
