Dealing With Diseases Of The Nafs
After reading some Surahs of the Quran, one might find symptoms of the diseases of the nafs. For example, someone who has arrogance will walk with haughtiness or respond harshly to whoever says something wrong to them. Someone who has nifaq in his heart will offer prayers to get them over with or delay them. After finding out these symptoms, he gets rid of them, along with suppressing the urges to do such things. But this doesn’t cure the main problems, the actual disease.
My question is, what are all the diseases of nafs and how can one simply get rid of them from roots so the symptoms don’t even appear?

No disease of Nafs can be uprooted. It is a constant battle with Nafs. However, the evils of Nafs get week after losing again and again.
The way to judge an evil is told in a hadith:
An-Nawwas bin Sam’an (RAA) narrated, ‘I asked the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) about virtue and sin and he replied, “The essence of virtue is (manifested in) good morals (Akhlaq) whereas sinful conduct is that which turns in your heart (making you feel uncomfortable) and you dislike that it would be disclosed to other people.” Related by Muslim.
There is only one way to battle the evil of nafs, and that is to listen to your conscience and have fear of God.
