فمن أراد صلاح نفسه، فليجاهدها جهادًا طويلاً، وليصبر على مراغمتها

So whoever wants to reform himself, let him strive against it with a long struggle, and be patient in opposing it.

فَلْيُجَاهِدْهَا then let him strive against it

This packs a lot: the fa- that begins the 'then' answer of the condition, a command-marker that turns the verb into a directive 'let him', the verb 'strive', and -ha 'it' as object. The command-marker forces the verb into the clipped jussive shape, and one word ends up meaning 'then let him strive against it'.
