What lures you away?

82:6 O MAN! What is it that lures you away from your bountiful Sustainer?

What lures you away?

Once a man pleaded with Ibrahim ibn Adham, "O Abu Ishaq, I am unable to control myself from sinning. Please help in anyway that you can!"

"If you are able to fulfill any one of five conditions," said Ibrahim, "then your mistakes, sins or disobedience will not have any adverse consequences for you."

The man was more than eager to hear what the conditions were,  and I have paraphrased them here.

1. When you want to disobey Allah, prepare for it by not eating or drinking anything Allah provides.
2. If we cannot do that, then at least let us move away from His Dominion whenever we want to sin.
3. If both of the above conditions are beyond our abilities, then at least let us make sure Allah does not see us during our acts of disobedience.

The man complained (and so do I), that it is impossible to to fulfill the above conditions, however, Ibrahim had a couple more ideas left up his sleeve, conditions that could do the trick:

4. When it is time to die, ask for reprieve so that we have time to repent and mend our ways.

However, if we are unable to get reprieve, and time to undo the damage that we have done to ourselves, then surely we will be packed off to face the consequences of our actions, in which case there is only one more thing left to do:
5. We must refuse to enter Hell-fire.

If we cannot do that, well, then what lures us away towards the path of disobedience of our Generous Lord?
