We're excited to start Season 3 of Sacred Text Messages, with an analysis of the nature of the nafs (lower self or ego) and its devilish inclinations. Shaykh Hamza navigates us through the core tenets of Imam al-Ghazali's brilliant text Mizan al-Amal (The Measure of Actions), from which we learn about the states of the nafs, its critical role in steering our actions, and how to tame its whimsical pursuits. Tune in to a new season, with timeless lessons from sacred sources that illuminate the mind and nourish the heart.
