Series 2 ; 6⁄8 I The Root Cause of Negative Suffering Shk Khalil Jaffer

In this monologue podcast, Shaykh Khalil Jaffer discusses the root causes of negative suffering, focusing on the influence of Shaitaan (Satan) on human thoughts and actions. He explains that Shaitaan works by convincing individuals to identify with the voice in their head (the ego) rather than their true awareness, leading to unhappiness and suffering. The Shaykh uses verses from the Quran to support his points, arguing that Shaitaan's influence comes through suggestions and the exploitation of fear, rather than physical imposition. He emphasizes the importance of staying alert, conscious of Allah, and surrendering to Him to minimize Shaitaan's influence and avoid being misled. The discussion also touches on historical examples of collective insanity and the misuse of religion, highlighting the need for enlightenment and egolessness to create a more just and peaceful world, and concludes with suggestions on how to remove Shaitaan's influence.
