ʿUmar Quinn discusses the natural inclination of the soul, its dangers, and the manner in which it should be controlled. This thorough and example ladened series of lectures explains in detail the various aspects of how our souls can lead us to evil without the steadfastness and the mercy of Allāh and conclude with the tools and techniques one must develop to defeat it.

Opening Statement:

Every affair of great importance that will bring a person the good in this world and the hereafter, protect him from harm, the evil of this world and the hereafter. That which will bring him close to Allāh (subḥānahu wa Taʿālá), endear him to Allāh (subḥānahu wa Taʿālá), distance him far from the fire and protect him from the punishment of Allāh (tabaaraka wa Taʿālá). Every affair of great importance has been explained in great detail in the book of Allāh and the Sunnah of the Nabī’ (ṣallallāhu ʿalayhi wa-sallam). Verily this is a religion of details (tafsīr).
