Joe Bradford - Detachment from the Worldly Life

About this lecture

In this Friday khutbah, Sheikh Joe Bradford uses a powerful story narrated by Imam Ibn Abi al-Dunya about Prophet Isa (Jesus) alayhi salam and a companion who sacrificed his companionship with a prophet for a bag of gold — ultimately illustrating how attachment to the dunya leads to destruction. Drawing on Quranic verses and hadith, Sheikh Bradford calls Muslims to detach their hearts from the worldly life, reminding them that true success lies in keeping the next life as one's intention so that the dunya serves you, rather than enslaving you.
