Summary

In this discussion, Professor Dr. Muhammad addresses the topic of temptations during Ramadan, focusing on the role of Satan and human desires (nafsu). While Satan is chained during Ramadan, human desires continue to influence behavior, leading individuals to sin despite the reduced external temptation. The speaker explains the concept of nafsu, highlighting different types: nafsu ammarah (evil-urging soul), nafsu lawamah (self-reproaching soul), and nafsu muthmainnah (tranquil soul). Strengthening one's faith through dhikr, worship, and good deeds is emphasized as the key to resisting both external temptations and internal desires, particularly during Ramadan.
