“Have you (O Prophet) seen him who has taken as his ilah (god) his own desire? Would you then be a Wakil (a disposer of his affairs or a watcher) over him?
Or do you think that most of them listen or understand? They are only like cattle; nay, they are even farther astray from the Path. (i.e. even worse than cattle).
(Qur’an 25:43-44)
Anything that takes us further away from God is bad. This is a warning that most people follow the whims of their desires. If we are in control of them and harness them in a halal way (in moderation) that is fine. Rather than being led by desire.
To repeat: Harnessing desire in a halal way implies desire is not intrinsically evil. Being led by desire (which is its wont) is ‘evil’ or sinful. Evidence? See my comment and associated link (above).
Islam is the ‘middle’ (‘just’, ‘balanced’) religion [Qur’an 2:143]. It lies wholesomely inbetween hedonism (over-the-top worldliness) and monasticism ( over-the-top of one’s basic humanity)!
There is a connection between hawa (desire) and the nafs (self) and breath and the wayward air: the whim, the wantoness, and the wily wind. You get the idea…
*’There is a connection’ in Arabic, that is. Which is why the Qur’an came in Arabic at a specific time (Qur’an 12:2). That field of semantic meanings is relevant to us even now.
“Al-Ahwaa’; singular: hawaa’ (Arabic:الھوٰی); refers to vain or egotistical desire, individual passion and/or impulsiveness.
If Hawa هوی is vain or egotistical desire, etc. what is just “desire” by itself?
Christianity and the Bible distinguishes between desire by itself, which God created the desire for food, water, sex, rest, sleep, purpose, love, friendship, etc. – there is a difference between a good desire and an evil desire.
Or maybe, if seen contextually (which you Christians seem incapable of doing), “I don’t follow my desires” is specifically referring to sexual desires. It seems that missionaries want to nitpick about every little thing instead of trying to use their heads for once.
No, sexual desires are not evil. God commanded us to follow sexual desires in a halal way i.e. married man and a married woman. We follow the commands of God and not our desires. The command of God says “lower your gaze” if you are confronted with sexual desires that are not halal. It did not says it is evil. Sexual desires is not evil but do not follow it in non halal ways. So, we Muslims do not follow our desires but we follow the commandments(laws) of God.
If the desires is not halal, then we do not follow it.
But the guy said, “I don’t follow my desires”; he did not say, “I don’t follow my wrong desires; or I don’t follow my desires in the wrong way.”
Sexual desire is not sin; God created sex and marriage. But sexual fantasy and lust (wrongful sexual desire) is sin. Matthew 5:28
Both men and women must wait until they are married for sexual fulfillment – 1 Thessalonians 4:3-8
Within marriage (one man and one woman), sex is beautiful and godly. (Song of Solomon, Proverbs 5:18. Genesis 2:18-25

“the Muslim guy implied that all desires are evil.

Um no. That is just your own straw-man argument.
If you are implying that evil desires come from original sin, let me just stop you right there. Original sin is a false concept that is not found even in the Bible.
Evil desires come from Satan’s whispering. Justin Martyr also believed that humans could become evil because of the influence of demons.
The context from that surah is talking about disbelievers. prophets of God cannot be included and neither the good doers/believers
Sahih International: And they attribute to Allah that which they dislike, and their tongues assert the lie that they will have the best [from Him]. Assuredly, they will have the Fire, and they will be [therein] neglected.
