    Weight of honesty and knowing

    Reserve your spot on our first Launch Event In Antwerpen here: 🔗 https://www.thinkworkpodcast.com/launch-event On this first episode of Season Three, I look at that question from different angles — through Islamic literature, like the story of Prophet Ibrahim searching for truth, through scientific research on how knowing shapes us, and through philosophy, from Aristotle’s reflections on melancholy to modern psychology. This episode was really necessary for me to make, and honestly, I wish I had known some of these things sooner.

    EP4 S2 Dhikr and the Modern World: The 11 Fundementals of Tasawwuf

    In this episode, we explore the 11 fundamental spiritual principles taught by Abdu’l-Khaliq al-Gujdawani, a key figure in the tradition of tasawwuf. These teachings emphasize the importance of self-discipline, inner purity, and the continuous remembrance of Allah. In today’s modern, fast-paced world, where we are constantly distracted by phone notifications and external noise, these principles offer a grounding path for seekers. I discuss how to navigate and integrate these timeless teachings into every moment of life, helping us cultivate a refined soul and a deep connection with the Creator amidst the distractions of daily life.

    #3 Why women should keep working out during Ramadan ft. Asli Bassozen

    I’m joined by Asli Bassozen, an activist and personal trainer, to discuss the importance of staying active during Ramadan. We explore why women should prioritize working out during this sacred month, not only for physical health but also for mental and spiritual well-being. Asli shares insights on how exercise can help maintain bone density, stay independent as we age, and continue our daily activities—like prayer—without relying on others. She also offers practical tips for hitting protein goals and maintaining strength while connecting spiritually during Ramadan. Join us as we focus on building strength, both mentally and physically, as a Muslim should during this special time.

    EP2 S2 Goethe's admiration for Prophet Mohammad

    Goethe. "The Shakespeare" of German literature. Someone deeply invested in philosophy, science, culture, and so much more. But the particular reason why I made this episode is his connection to Islam. His fascination with Islam was deep and especially thoughtful, respectful. Let's explore it together.  Instagram: @thethinkwork.podcast https://www.instagram.com/thethinkwork.podcast/
