In this short snippet from our new series ‘What Everyone Should Know About Abraham’, Ustadh Nouman Ali Khan reflects on a powerful verse from Surah Al-Jathiyah (45:23), where Allah asks, “Have you seen the one who takes his own desires as his god?” This ayah confronts a dangerous shift—when we replace submission to Allah with submission to our feelings.
Ustadh Nouman explains how the Quran consistently calls us to use reason, not just emotion. In a world where “do what feels right” is seen as wisdom, the Quran offers something different: Think. Reflect. Question. We must have real reasons for the choices we make—whether it’s why we pray or why we don’t.
When feelings become the ultimate guide, they risk becoming an idol. But when reason leads the way, it brings us back to Allah.
