The Idol Within | Abdal Hakim Murad

Friday sermon (jum'ah khutba) - Sheikh Abdal Hakim Murad - Cambridge - 18 February 2011 - 25 mins 09 secs

It is relatively easy not to be seduced into the worship of idols in the obvious sense - bits of wood and stone, statues of powerless 'gods'. How much more dangerous and harder to avoid are the numerous other ways we distract ourselves from our true, natural orientation to the One and Only God. In this sermon, Sheikh Abdal Hakim warns us against 'dividing the qibla' by placing our own desires and self-satisfaction before our efforts to worship Allah, and describes some ways the scholars have recommended to avoid this 'hidden shirk'.

I heard a (man) who said, "My body is my temple." This is a statement of self-worship. It's evil.

Well some may see this as oh what he is pointing to is just too Stark way of seeing things but a close introspection will reveal, life is quiet stark and he alhumdilliah is only stating the obvious :)
