Stuck in Habitual Sin with Sh. Yahya Ibr...

YAQEEN INSTITUTE
About this episode

Human beings are imperfect, and no one knows this better than God, but He has given us resources that can help us better understand our shortcomings and how to come back when we stray from His path. 

Where do sins come from, and what can we do to protect ourselves from them? What’s the difference between sins that come from ourselves and those that are inspired by shaytaan? Why is it that we sometimes feel numb to our sins, and what can we do to change that? 

In this episode, host Mohamad Zaoud talks to Sh. Yahya Ibrahim, presenter of the Yaqeen Institute video series “Road to Return.”
