Don’t Let Your Hatred Blind You From Justice

About this lecture

In this khutbah, Ustadh Nouman Ali Khan explores the eighth ayah of Surah Al-Ma'idah, unpacking how hatred and the desire for revenge can corrupt our sense of justice from within — making us the first victims of our own anger. He contrasts two types of injustice — the scheming, intellectual kind addressed in Surah An-Nisa, and the emotionally-driven kind addressed here — and draws out the profound Quranic insight that justice and taqwa are inseparable: you cannot claim a genuine relationship with Allah while allowing rage and resentment to control how you treat people.
