You Choose To Be Learned or Lost | Midnight Majlis

March 23, 2025 • Dr. Omar Suleiman and Sh. Yaser Birjas
Is your knowledge making you worse? You can memorize verses, master texts, even preach to others—and still be far from Allah. So what kind of knowledge actually purifies the soul? In this Midnight Majlis reflection, Dr. Omar Suleiman and Sh. Yaser Birjas explore Ibn Hazm’s advice about knowledge, ego, and the difference between true guidance and performative learning. Ramadan is whirling by. Automate your donations for the last 10 nights.
