While outward sins are visible and easily condemned, there exists a far subtler battlefield — the inner realm of the soul. This course delves into the concealed layers of human imperfection — the hidden sins that silently corrupt the heart and distance one from divine proximity.
Through a blend of Qur’anic reflection, hadith from the Ahlulbayt (a), and practical self-examination, learners will explore the diseases of the inner self: pride that blinds, arrogance that isolates, conceit that deceives, envy that corrodes, and unrestrained desires that enslave the spirit.
Unlike external sins that require repentance of action, these spiritual ailments require purification of perception — a conscious effort to diagnose, confront, and heal the ego. Each session will uncover how these inner vices originate, how they disguise themselves as virtues, and how sincere humility, remembrance, and self-discipline can restore the soul’s natural purity.
This course is a journey of inner jihad (jihād al-nafs) — the most noble of all struggles — guiding participants toward self-awareness, spiritual healing, and closeness to Allah (swt). It invites every seeker to confront not the world outside, but the hidden battlefield within.
