Aik Momin Ki Azmaishain-Nafs, Shaytan Aur Muashra - Dr Israr Ahmad
This lecture details the three essential struggles a believer must undertake to truly submit to God: the internal battle against one’s base desires (nafs), the fight against the instigation of Satan (Shaytan), and the resistance against a corrupt society (muashra). The speaker emphasizes that the greatest form of *jihad* is the constant self-struggle to purify the heart and align actions with divine will. True devotion requires overcoming temptations, resisting societal pressures, and consistently striving for righteousness. This is a lifelong process of internal and external struggle. The most significant *jihad* isn’t external conflict, but the persistent battle within oneself. The speaker highlights that overcoming one’s *nafs* is the foundation for all other forms of worship and spiritual growth.
