Self-control, which means being able to control one's own self and to restrain one's desires, is one of the concepts that contemporary terminology has put before us. In our century, the importance of self-control is acknowledged day by day in the face of high crime rates, which are usually caused by the inability to control anger. There are various factors that are effective in the regulation of an individual's behavior, which is summarized as the regulation of one's actions for a certain purpose. The most important of these are the principles of belief and morality that guides life. The Qur'an addresses such matters as faith and morality with concepts of reward and punishment. It utilizes concepts of mercy to encourage people towards sublime goals, while employing the concepts of vehemence to suppress the unlawful desires of the nafs. Furthermore, we can observe that the Qur'an uses some concepts of morality such as piety, patience, haya', and penitence in order to restrain the extreme desires of one's nafs. This article emphasizes the role and importance of the Qur'anic principles of belief and morality in self-control through a literature review. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
