In order to achieve true piety and to truly walk the path of God, we must be willing to be completely honest with ourselves. We must take a step back from the wants and matters of the "me," and perform a self-assessment on who (or what) we really prioritize. In these final nights of Ramadan, ask yourself: Have I properly deflated my ego?

This clip comes from Day 2 of the halaqa on Surah 63: Al Munafiqun, which is a part of our larger series Project Illumine: The Light of the Quran. To watch, please visit The Usuli Institute YouTube channel.
