Hidden Qualities That Destroy Your Good Deeds | The Story of Qarun | Nouman Ali Khan

À propos de cette vidéo

In this recent talk delivered in Denmark, Ustadh Nouman Ali Khan unpacks the story of Qarun, one of the Quran's most unsettling characters, to expose a sickness most of us carry without noticing. Qarun had wealth, influence and status, but he was loyal to no one except himself, willing to betray his own people to enrich himself. Through his story, Ustadh Nouman shows how the obsession with comparison quietly poisons our sense of value, whether it shows up in followers, money, grades, looks or even in those who serve Islam. He connects it to the mindset capitalism sells us, the endless wanting to be like the people on the pedestal, and then arrives at a striking teaching in Surah Al-Qasas (28:83): Allah reserves the Jannah not for those who simply do good, but for those who do not even want to be superior over others or to spread corruption in pursuit of that superiority. The talk closes with practical wisdom on the difference between destructive comparison and healthy ambition, and how to redirect that competitive drive toward growth instead of defeating others.In this recent talk delivered in Denmark, Ustadh Nouman Ali Khan unpacks the story of Qarun, one of the Quran's most unsettling characters, to expose a sickness most of us carry without noticing.
