Iblis: A Psychological Profile

About this lecture

In this powerful lecture, Nouman Ali Khan presents a psychological profile of Iblis, analyzing the internal forces — pride, self-image, and blame — that drove him to defy a direct command from Allah. Drawing on Quranic verses and human psychology, the lecture reveals how Iblis's obsession with rank over contribution, his need for destructive relevance, and his creation of a self-serving "my truth" narrative are the same traps he sets for humanity today. Viewers will walk away with a deeper understanding of how arrogance, social comparison, and ego-driven thinking are not just modern problems — they are ancient ones, rooted in the very first act of disobedience.
