The Concept of Deceitful Religious Leaders

Religious leaders who hide parts of the book to manipulate their followers emotionally are rebuked. The podcast discusses how corrupt leaders keep certain information concealed to maintain control over the population. This control is achieved by focusing on emotional aspects of religion rather than encouraging critical thinking. The followers are reminded that power ultimately belongs to Allah and that leaders who deceive them will disconnect from their followers on Judgment Day.
