This lecture discusses a crucial inner assessment. One side of a metaphorical scale holds love for eight worldly things: father, son, siblings, spouse, relatives, wealth, skills, and home. The other side holds love for God, the Prophet, and striving in His path. True faith requires that the latter outweigh the former.
