Yahya Rhodus - Purifying Your Heart from Pride & Conceit

About this lecture

In this lecture, Shaykh Yahya Rhodus delivers a detailed study of the diseases of *kibr* (pride) and *ujb* (self-conceit) drawing heavily on Imam al-Ghazali's *Ihya Ulum al-Din*, exploring their definitions, causes, manifestations, and cures. He connects classical Islamic teachings on the heart to contemporary issues including racism, elitism, social media culture, and principled Muslim engagement in Western society. Listeners will come away with a clear framework for diagnosing and treating pride within themselves, as well as a renewed appreciation for the prophetic model of humility.
