in the Sufi istiah destruction of the stain is called "taubat nashuha", this stain itself is called dausa "agyar wahmiah" which includes to:
1, love of wealth
2, love to splendor
3, love to rank and position
the destruction of the stain is done by "khulwah" and fasting.
so to the level of lust "muthmaunnah"
Khulwah and Muthmaunnah
I've read Khulwah is strictly enforced, men and women are segregated so there is no chance of temptation and if the rule is broken the strict judgment is enforced especially for the woman...
In Buddhism it is the individual must find it within them selves to let temptation go, it is dissolved, let go, abandoned through shamatha practice. If temptation is fed through action one pays the ultimate price, which is karmic debt...seeds of lust are planted, which may sprout in this life or the next, which will cause endless misery.
When we go to retreat at my vipassana meditation center we only have two meals a day...the last meal is taken at noon, the first meal is taken after we get up at 4:30 in the morning and meditate for 3 hours...then we break fast. I fast for 3 days at a time to help my body heal once or twice a month and I practice intermittent fasting, eating small nutritious meals between a six hour window, my last meal is taken 5pm. This helps my aging body retain its health and vigor.
The Buddha fasted to the point of death and realized this wasn't the way to freedom. A young girl found him near death and brought him milk curds and rice. She saved his life and once he recovered redoubled his efforts to find the way out of suffering using shamatha and vipassana whilst he went through the levels of jhanas...finally breaking free of samasara the endless rebirth into negative mind states.
Taubat nashuha.
I looked up Muthmaunnah and found this...

وَاذْكُرْ رَبَّكَ فِي نَفْسِكَ
And remember your Rabb inside your-self
I salute you with your quick understanding of the problem of khulwah and lust, thank you for sharing my knowledge with me
I forgot to mention when I go to Buddhist retreat men and women are strictly segregated just for this reason. It is very distracting! Thank you for sharing you wealth of knowledge @steemitcountry and we can develop common ground and understanding through the virtues which are shared throughout our common religions.
I am also glad to get additional enlightenment from you, at least when I teach my students about Sufi I can explain you @deddust and your thoughts, I am sure my students are very happy to hear it
