S4 E2: Unlocking the Treasures of Tazkiya (TaHa 75-76) | Quran Conversations
Episode 2
Friday, 27 February, 2026

What does real success look like? Is it power, recognition, or reward in this world—or something far deeper?In this episode of Qur’an Conversations, Imam Magid and I reflect on the moment the magicians of Pharaoh chose faith over fear. Through verses 75 and 76 of Surah TaHa, we explore the contrast between Pharaoh’s empty promises and Allah’s everlasting reward, and what this moment teaches us about sincerity, purification, and true success.This conversation invites us to rethink what it means to “win” in the sight of Allah, and how the work of the heart shapes our destination.You will learn:📖 Why the quality and sincerity of deeds matter more than their quantity📖 What tazkiyah really means, and why it is a lifelong journey📖 How the Qur’an contrasts Pharaoh’s illusion of power with Allah’s eternal reward📖 Why success in purification is about effort, not perfection📖 Practical steps to begin cleansing and softening the heartWe hope this episode encourages your own reflective journey with the Qur’an. This week’s reflection prompt is: If you stripped away titles, praise, and worldly measures of achievement, what would “success” look like for you?=====If you’re enjoying this podcast, please consider leaving a review on your podcast platform.
