Ep. 011: Worship of the self

Ayat Al-Nur Podcast

This episode explores the profound concepts of rizq (divine provision) and human desires (nafs) within Islamic teachings. What happens when our desires conflict with what has been divinely ordained for us? We'll discuss worshipping one's desires, a critical topic highlighting how unchecked desires can become idols that distance us from our spiritual path. Join me as I try to explain the navigation between fulfilling natural human inclinations and maintaining devotion to Allah, and understanding how self-restraint and awareness can lead to a more spiritually aligned life.
