A Qur'anic Diagnosis of the Heart

About this lecture

In this powerful lecture, the speaker uses the lens of Quranic verses and classical Islamic scholarship — particularly the works of Imam al-Ghazali — to diagnose the spiritual disease of hypocrisy (nifaq) within the self. Drawing on vivid medical analogies, he identifies key signs of hypocrisy including obsession with power, inability to accept correction, and causing chaos while claiming to be a reformer. The lecture culminates in the profound contrast between the arrogance of Pharaoh and the humble self-accountability of Musa alayhis salam, calling every listener to honest introspection and openness to sincere advice.
