Ego doesn’t only show up in arrogance.Sometimes it shows up in comparison, constant noise, and the need to be seen.In this episode, I reflect on the Qur’anic warning about taking one’s desires as a god, and how that manifests in the digital age.I talk about:

• The ego behind constant debates and public “wins”
• Comparing your journey to others and how it quietly drains barakah
• What digital hijrah really means in practice
• Renewing trust in Allah ﷻ and purifying intention in a distracted world

This is a personal reflection — a reminder to myself first — about choosing clarity over noise, growth over validation, and sincerity over applause.
