The conscience is referred to in the Quran as al-nafs al-lawwamah (75:2). Uninfluenced by either impulse and reasoning, it tells man what is wrong, and what is right, what should be done and what should not be done.

Our world possesses a vast array of material things, which are attractive and give innumerable comforts. to mankind.
These are provided in this world to test man and are not intended for his pleasure.
If man were to look at these things from the point of view of his being tested, he would avail of them only as a matter of necessity and then too would use them with utmost care and responsibility.
But man is usually unable to be consistently responsible.
