Hadith Death & Afterlife Seerah Aqeedah Akhlaq Quran Tawbah Purification of the Soul

About this lecture

In this khutbah, Shaykh Yasir Qadhi delivers a powerful reminder on one of Islam's most dangerous spiritual diseases — arrogance (*kibr*) — tracing it from the first sin of Iblis through Quranic warnings, prophetic hadiths, and stories of the prophets. He contrasts arrogance with humility (*tawadu'*), drawing on the Seerah of the Prophet ﷺ and the wisdom of classical scholars to explain why humility is the key to earning Allah's love, the respect of people, and entry into Jannah. The second khutbah offers four practical steps to cultivate humility in daily life: seeking knowledge, self-reflection, performing acts of service, and making du'a.
