  1. How does the manna and salwa incident apply to us?

    How does the manna and salwa incident apply to us?

    In the historical account of the Israelites, Allah sent them provision from the heavens in the form of manna and salwa. Yet they were ungrateful and asked for garlic, onions and lentils - reminiscent of their period of slavery under Firaun. It's easy to write off this episode as something that would never happen to us. How are we missing the point when we think in this way?

    A deeper look at the command for the Israelites to kill themselves

    In this episode, Zulaikha and Natasha discuss the aayaat from Al-Baqarah where the Israelites had worshipped a calf and Allah commanded them to kill each other as a way to make taubah. As Muslims, we may read these aayaat and feel that they are "remote"; they don't relate to us. But they absolutely do! Listen to this episode to understand the ways in which we make the same mistakes as they did.
