The Devil Whispers. Your Intellect Does the Rest | Snapshots with Imam Tom Facchine
Sometimes, the most dangerous ideas aren’t the ones that sound irrational. They’re the ones we can make sound reasonable when our desires, insecurities, or need for approval pull us into a certain direction. In this Snapshot, Imam Tom Facchine explores what happens when the intellect becomes detached from taqwa and when the nafs learns to use our intelligence to defend what it wants. This episode explores:
—Why intelligence alone isn’t enough
—How the nafs can turn intellect into a tool for rationalization
—Why “nuance” and so-called sophistication aren’t always signs of deeper thinking
—What it means to have an intellect without a qiblah
