Life: The Islamic Answer

We are still studying the notions of intention and sincerity in Islam in this lecture. The narrations we look at show us that through our intentions, we participate in the actions of others, even if we are far away from them in space and time - thus leading to the deeper notion of community (Ummah) across geographies and centuries. In practice, sincerity means the strength to overcome personal ego and desire, and to stay away from evil deeds, sins and disobedience.

This is part of the Life series, which explores the Islamic principles of living in today's complex world. It focuses on the need to rebuild ourselves Islamically, as individuals and communities who contribute positively to society and the world, by understanding our relationships with ourselves, with others, with nature and with God, based on the original teachings of Islam through its primary sources. It serves as an Islamic life coaching program.

Delivered by Dr. Sayid Jafar al Hasany, November 2021.

في هذه المحاضرة نستمر بدراسة مفهومي الاخلاص و النية في الاسلام لنرى اننا من خلال نيتنا نشارك الاخرين في اعمالهم و ان كانوا بعيدين عنا في المكان و الزمان - و هو ما يبين لنا مفهوم الامّة في الاسلام. و من ثم نجد ان الاخلاص في النية يعني عمليا مخالفة الهوى و تجنب الرذائل.
