The Still Point offers short reflections on the Qur'an, the spiritual path of the Prophet of Islam, and calming prayers for people seeking clarity, rest, and direction. Each episode explores a verse, a word, a prayer, or a theme in simple English with the beauty of the Arabic preserved. Episodes are short (usually under ten minutes) and designed for quiet moments — after Fajr, during a commute, or before sleep. The goal is not lectures, but reflection: one idea, one verse, one turning of the heart.

    What If Accountability Is Actually a Relief? | Al-Fatiha 3/5

    Whether you believe in a Day of Judgment or not, there is something worth sitting with in this verse. In this episode, we explore Maliki yawmid-din from Al-Fatiha: the Day when every account is settled, every deed is weighed, and nothing is lost. Accountability is not only a warning, it is also a relief: proof that your life matters, that injustice will be answered, and that mercy and justice meet in the One who judges you.

    Why Does God Keep Calling Himself Merciful? | Al-Fātiḥah 2/5

    Whether you have read the Quran or not, whether you have ever stepped inside a mosque or not, this book opens the same way every time. Before any commandment, before any story, before any law, it says two words. Both of them mean mercy. Both of them come from the same Arabic root: Raḥm, a mother's womb. In this episode, we explore why God chose this exact image to introduce Himself, why He repeats these two names twice in just seven verses, and what the difference is between Ar-Raḥmān (the mercy that covers everything in existence) and Ar-Raḥīm (the mercy that meets you personally when you turn toward Him).

    What Does Rabb Really Mean? | Al-Fātiḥah 1/5

    We spend so much of our days rushing. Look at the tired faces on the train, or watch the cars sitting in heavy traffic. We constantly check our phones, reply to endless messages, and worry about what tomorrow will bring. It is not just the tiredness you feel after a long walk or a hard day of work. It is a deep, quiet tiredness in our minds and our hearts. In this episode, we explore the word رَبِّ (Rabbi) from Surah Al-Fātiḥah — a word usually translated as "Lord," but whose Arabic roots reveal something far more intimate: a Nurturer who raises, grows, and cares for His creation with patience and love.
