"I am the most knowledgeable"
And he has every right to assume this because Allah had chosen him like He had chosen no one else

If you denegrate somebody racially in a public place you will lose your job

Imagine if Barack Obama or Donald Trump became a Muslim, it's possible. Imagine all the world bankers, the IMF, imagine if they became Muslim. They would use the principles of the deen to deal with these issues.

2 The intellect
3. Nafs(the ego)
4. The soul
5. The heart

Within the universe we are confined

The nafs are generally inclined towards evil
If it is purified it pushes towards Allah SWT
The nafs is an enemy that is loved
Generally speaking, no one likes the devil
The nafs is more dangerous than the devil himself
In Ramadan you are not dealing with the devil, you are dealing with your nafs
The nafs is not so sensitive to one's own mistakes just as how you are not sensitive to your own filth
But the nafs is sensitive to the mistakes of others
The nafs is problematic because it does not see the faults of himself but it sees the faults of others
It overlooks one's own faults
Each one's nafs becomes contaminated and polluted based on the environment that they're in
If you do not work on your nafs at all it's always going to be pushing you towards evil, pushing you towards desires
Desires that already exists
Anything in excess is not good for you
The intuition of a believer is true
The Prophet was an ambassador of love
The Prophet told us to declare our love
The purest and highest form of love is to sacrifice what you want for what your beloved wants
