On our battle of Nafs - Shk. Khalil Jaffer

In this monologue, Khalil Jaffer discusses the importance of justice and courage in Islam, particularly within the context of the "battle of the nafs," or the struggle against one's ego. He emphasizes that justice, defined as placing things where they rightfully belong, is a core principle in Islam, even above generosity. Jaffer illustrates this with examples from Islamic history, including the actions of Imam Ali and Imam Hussein. He contrasts this with what he views as the unjust actions of radical Islamic groups. He also touches on the concept of courage, defining it as prioritizing Allah's will over the desires of people. He critiques hypocrisy, arrogance, and cowardice among religious leaders, and concludes by emphasizing the need to teach children the importance of justice and prioritizing Allah's will to nurture courage.
