Read the following passage and answer the questions based on it (1-3):
Honest self-criticism plays a vital role to purify our souls and to light the path of blissful success.
The Holy Quran says: Truly he has succeeded who purifies it. And Truly, he has failed who
defiles it. In fact, self criticism seems like a fairly straight-forward concept. It means
acknowledging that we have committed a sin, whether against ourselves or other, be it Our
Creator or anyone or anything in creation. For most of us, such a confession is an incredibly
tough thing to do. Pride prevents us from owning our faults, especially before people when it is
necessary. It behoves us to recall that being honest with ourselves is actually a way to enjoy life,
rather than make it tougher. It is a fact that the best way to prevent ourselves from committing
haram acts is to really investigate whether or not such activities are permissible in Islam and to
refrain from doing them if they are not permissible
