Shafaqna English- The Speaking Quran E45 | “This Can Burn All Your Rewards” Presented By Seyyed Jawad Qazwini.
In Episode 45 of The Speaking Quran, we arrive at the powerful concluding Verses/Ayahs of Surah Yusuf (104-108). This lecture dives deep into the most difficult spiritual challenge: purifying our intentions.
We explore the concept of “hidden Shirk” (associating partners with God) in our good deeds; a shirk so subtle Imam Ali (AS) describes it as a “black ant on a black rock in a dark night”. Learn how this can cause us to lose all our rewards, even for work done in a Mosque or for charity. This Tafseer of Surah Yusuf Ayahs 104-108 also covers:
- Why the Prophet (PBUH) asked for no worldly reward for the Quran.
- The one sign of Allah (SWT) we see over 26,000 times in our lives, yet we still ignore.
- The lesson from Alexander the Great’s death: no one can guarantee you time.
- The meaning of: “This is My Way” (Qul Hadhihi Sabeeli): Islam is one Straight Path (Siraat-e-Mustaqeem) and cannot be “bent” to fit our desires.
