This was the reference made during the podcast, the Hadith,”Whoever knows himself knows his Lord”. (Prophet Muhammad Peace Be Upon Him) And connecting this Hadith to what Allah reminds us of in the Quran. “And be not like those who forgot Allah, so He made them forget their own souls; these it is that are the transgressors.” (59:19) “O you who believe! Take care of yourselves; he who errs cannot hurt you when you are on the right path.” (5:105) “We will soon show them our signs in the universe and in their own souls, until it becomes quite clear to them that this is the Truth.” (41:53) “And there are signs on the earth for those who are certain. And in your own souls (too); will you not then see?” (51: 20, 21) --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/spilltheruh/message
