78 | Saved By The Light—The Remarkable Near Death Experience of Dannion Brinkley

In this video, I reflect on the powerful near-death experience of Dannion Brinkley as shared in his book Saved by the Light. After being struck by lightning, Brinkley underwent a detailed life review that revealed the spiritual weight of his actions—from violence and cruelty to moments of kindness. His story echoes timeless Islamic teachings on accountability, mercy, and the value of self-reflection.

We explore themes such as the pain caused to others, respect for parents, kindness to animals, and the consequences of war. Through his experiences, we are reminded that every action has ripple effects and that the key to spiritual growth lies in sincere repentance, self-awareness, and striving to be a force for good. This episode offers insight and inspiration for anyone seeking to live a more conscious and spiritually aligned life.
