    Imanophobia and the Adoption of Aesthetic Sensibility by Muslims

    Imanophobia and the Adoption of Aesthetic Sensibility by Muslims

    As Muslims have become increasingly integrated into social justice movements and the entertainment industry, many prominent figures are taking actions that align with the dominant ideology in these spheres. Despite their apparent unrelatedness, a common theme runs through Muslim hijabi Instagram influencers taking off their hijabs, comedians mocking Islamic practices like the dua, and political allegiances made in the name of combating Islamophobia.
    In this episode, the distinction made by the late Algerian sociologist and philosopher Malek Bennabi between aesthetic and moral sensibilities as they manifest in the lived experience of the Western European and the Muslim is used as a framework to understand the current trends observed among Muslims in the West.

    Jerusalem is Worth Nothing…and Everything!

    Jerusalem is Worth Nothing…and Everything!

    What is Jerusalem worth? What kind of attachment does being a Muslim entail to the Holy Land?
    The recent announcement from U.S. President Donald Trump that recognizes Jerusalem as the official capital of Israel has created massive outcries and lamentations over the grim prospects for peace. However, from a spiritual and Quranic standpoint, much good has come out from this announcement. We just need to have the right perspective to see it.
    Topics discussed in this episode include the status of Jerusalem in Islam and the attitude a Muslim should adopt with regards to their relationship to the Holy Land.

    Moral Clarity in the Fog of War

    Moral Clarity in the Fog of War

    At the time of recording this episode, Gaza has been undergoing an assault by the Zionist colonizer entity that can only be described as a genocide. The attacks on Gaza come as a response, we're told by the Zionists, to an operation carried out by the Resistance on October 7th, 2023. The official narrative of the events on that day has been constructed by the Zionist colonizer and adopted by the mainstream, including Muslims in the West. However, this narrative is not corroborated by the publicly available evidence, which in contrast supports the Resistance's account of what happened. 
    In this episode, I read and comment on a post I published on this issue, highlighting the problematic nature of dissociating from the Resistance based on a narrative sold to us by the Zionist colonizer.

    al-Munfarijah is one of the most famous poems recited in North Africa and generally in the Islamic world. ibn an-Nahawi composed it in response to a request from his family who were living under an oppressive ruler. Ever since this poem has been taken up by Muslims and it became widely known for its efficacy. The poem is a combination of applied theology, spiritual counseling, and prayer.

Easy to understand

I appreciate that as a non muslim I come away with a deeper appreciation for the good that is to be found in the teachings of the Koran and the companions... I only intended to listen to a couple and then I got hooked. Thanks

The BEST podcast and amazing teacher!!

I’ve been learning so much from these podcasts and it shapes my way to approach the the things. This is a must listen! You won’t regret. Whenever I struggle with anything related to Islam and science, I listen to Mohamed Ghilan and read his works. I can’t appreciate enough, he is just a gem!!!
