In this powerful reminder, Ustadh Nouman Ali Khan exposes the fundamental deception of worldly life (dunya) that leads so many to depression and anxiety. Referencing Quran 57:20 (“This worldly life is nothing but means of deception”), he reveals how we create false dependencies – whether in relationships, careers, or material pursuits – that trap us in cycles of disappointment.
The talk confronts our tendency to believe “If I don’t get X, my life is over,” showing how this mindset contradicts Islamic teachings about divine decree (qadr). Ustadh Nouman particularly addresses those obsessively making dua for worldly wants rather than needs, challenging listeners to examine whether they’re trying to “bend their religion” to serve their desires rather than submitting their desires to Allah’s wisdom.
