The Hidden Shirk the Prophet ﷺ Warned Us About

What does it actually mean to have a pure intention? This talk sits with one uncomfortable truth from a beloved teacher: you can be sincere and be sincerely wrong. It walks through why the Prophet ﷺ feared the hidden shirk of showing off more than open idolatry, and what that means for how we pray, give, and post online. In this video: - Why actions are judged by intentions, and how that changes everything - The example of a clean body that is still not ghusl - Ar-riyah, the lesser shirk, and how it hides inside good deeds - An honest look at why we are really on Instagram and TikTok - Dua as the believer's first weapon for a pure heart - Why we speak in the we, not the me, and the refusal of Iblis - Seeking honor from Allah alone, and what inward peace really is - Sayyidina Hussain at Karbala, and our brothers and sisters in Gaza What is one intention you need to renew today?
