Defeat Your Ego Before It Defeats You | Midnight Majlis

March 22, 2025
Dr. Omar Suleiman and Sh. Yaser Birjas

Your real strength isn’t in your body.

In this second night of Midnight Majlis, Dr. Omar Suleiman and Sh. Yaser Birjas reflect on chapter 3, “The Mind and Repose” — and how conquering your ego is the only path to real inner peace. Dive in as Ibn Hazm (rh) dismantles every false measure of pride we cling to — strength, speed, power, popularity — and redirects our gaze to the only virtue that matters: the intellect used in service of God.

Ramadan is whirling by. Automate your donations for the last 10 nights.
