Nafs Ka Mu'aahida - The Self as a Deity - Dr Israr Ahmad

This lecture explores the concept of *nafs* (the self) becoming a false deity. It argues that prioritizing personal desires over divine commands elevates the self to a position of worship. The speaker explains that obedience to *nafs* equates to servitude to a false god, illustrated by the example of Pharaoh who demanded worship from his people. Acting upon the desires of *nafs*, even when those desires involve forbidden acts, confirms its status as one’s true deity. True faith requires submission to God’s commands, not the dictates of the ego.
