Episode Details

The Companions of the Prophet (s) welcomed correction because they cared more about being right with God than being right in the room. Somewhere along the way, we lost that instinct and replaced it with defensiveness when we’re corrected and ego when we’re correcting. 

In this Snapshot, Imam Tom Facchine breaks down how to hold people accountable without letting it tip into ego, and why Islam has always demanded truth over comfort.

This episode covers:
 — Why taking correction personally is a spiritual red flag
 — How identity-first thinking replaces truth-first thinking
 — The Qur'anic test for figuring out what's actually true
 — What Malcolm X's life shows us about the courage to change your mind
