How can you tell if it’s your nafs or the Shaytan luring you away from Allah? How many times should you ask for forgiveness for the same sin? What are the differences between a hypocrite and a believer?

In Ep. 20 of Season 2, we sit down with Hosai Mojaddidi to discuss the diseases of the heart, dealing with our nafs and how to view hardships as blessings in disguise.

Our hearts are vessels that carry all that we consume. And while we allow ourselves to over-indulge without a second thought, it’s important to realize the impact it has on our minds, bodies and souls. Hosia explains why it’s crucial that we pay more attention to what we are feeding our hearts.

Everyday we are faced with the difficult challenge of dealing with our desires and temptations. Some are easy to ignore, while others seem close to impossible. Hosai explains what our nafs is, and how we can learn to overcome such weaknesses.

If we allow it to, our nafs can take over our lives, preventing us from connecting to Allah and putting distance between us and our prayer rugs. Hosai breaks down ways we can overcome our nafs and use our heart as a weapon to stay God conscious.

When it comes to sinning - it is something we are prone to as imperfect humans and something we all try to work on putting an end to. But how do we prevent ourselves from falling into the same sin over and over again? We discuss certain practices we can take part in to help keep us on the right path, and thinking of Allah more often.

If you’re struggling to build a connection to your faith, we hope this episode allows you to find solutions to stay God conscious, always.
