Ibn 'Arabi's famous "Religion of Love" verses are some of the most striking lines in Islamic mysticism - a declaration that the heart can take the form of every temple, church, and shrine. In this episode, we do a deep dive into the poem itself, its context in the Tarjuman al-Ashwaq, and what it reveals about Ibn 'Arabi's views on love, God, and universality in Sufi thought.

Introduction & Chapter 1 of the Book Saydul Khati by Ibn al Jawzi by Radio Islam

You know the truth. You know what Allah wants from you. And you know the path you must take to find success. So why do desires still win? And what if the thing pulling you away is not even Haram? The Dunya. Wealth. Comfort. Marriage. Status. Things that look harmless - even good - can slowly take a place in your heart they were never meant to have. But for a student of knowledge, the danger goes even further. What happens when knowledge itself gives you standing, trust and influence among people? And what happens when Fitnah comes looking beautiful? In this episode of the explanation of the great poem Ta'iyyah of Abu Ishaq al-Ilbiri, Sheikh Muhammad Tim Humble explains why knowing the path is not enough, how Ibn al-Qayyim taught us to overcome competing desires, and why a student of knowledge must sometimes guard himself more carefully than everyone else. Because some people only recognise a Fitnah after it has already passed.

Han Hsien Liew's fascinating and insightful new book, Preaching Pious Rulership in Medieval Islam: Ibn al-Jawzi's Political Thought (Cambridge University Press, 2026) offers a new way of understanding the political thought of one of medieval Islam's most influential preachers, Ibn al-Jawzi. Although Ibn al-Jawzi is often remembered primarily as a preacher, moralist, and religious scholar, Han Hsien challenges conventional accounts of medieval Islamic political thought by showing how piety, preaching, and emotional formation shaped his vision of political authority. Rather than focusing simply on the ruler's ability to maintain order, Ibn al-Jawzi placed extraordinary emphasis on the ruler's moral character and on cultivating emotions such as fear, humility, remorse, and compassion. Han Hsien argues that this vision of pious rulership emerged from what he calls “homiletic piety,” revealing how the moral and emotional world of hortatory preaching shaped ideas about what it meant to rule well. By placing Ibn al-Jawzi's writings in their historical and political context—including his relationship with the Abbasid caliphate and his controversial intervention in debates over the cursing of Yazid—Han Hsien challenges simplistic distinctions between political “quietism” and “activism” and reveals a thinker deeply invested in influencing those who wielded political power. In our conversation, Han Hsien explains why he chose Ibn al-Jawzi as the subject of the book and what we can learn about medieval Islamic politics by taking preachers seriously as political thinkers. We discuss the concept of “homiletic piety” and Ibn al-Jawzi's approach to exhorting rulers, including the rhetorical strategies he believed scholars could use to encourage rulers toward greater humility, kindness, and moral responsibility. We also explore Ibn al-Jawzi's relationship with the Abbasid caliph al-Mustadi and what his writings reveal about the particular concerns of the ruler to whom they were addressed. Han Hsien discusses the complicated relationship between scholars and political power, including the historical debate over sharia and siyasa (or politics), and explains why Ibn al-Jawzi does not fit neatly into categories such as “quietist” or “activist.” We also talk about the significant role of emotions—including fear, remorse, humility, and compassion—in Ibn al-Jawzi's understanding of political authority and consider whether he actually believed rulers could be transformed through preaching. Finally, we discuss Ibn al-Jawzi's intervention in the debate over Yazid and what this reveals about his commitment to the idea of pious rulership. This book will be of tremendous interest to scholars and students of Islamic studies, medieval Islamic history, Islamic political thought, and the history of preaching, as well as anyone interested in the relationship between religion, morality, and political power. It will also appeal to readers interested in a different way of thinking about politics, one that takes seriously the power of preaching, persuasion, and moral and emotional formation to shape those who govern.

IBN, a multifaceted communications organization engaged in connecting public companies to the investment community, is pleased to announce the release of the latest episode of The Bell2Bell Podcast as part of its sustained effort to provide specialized content distribution via widespread syndication channels. The Bell2Bell Podcast delivers informative updates and exclusive interviews with executives operating in fast-moving industries. The Bell2Bell Podcast's latest episode features Galiano Tiramani, Co-Founder and Co-CEO of BOXABL Inc. (NASDAQ: BXBL), an innovative technology company transforming the housing market with its modular building systems. To begin the interview, Tiramani provided an overview of BOXABL's approach to housing construction, highlighting the company's goal of applying assembly-line mass production to an industry that continues to rely heavily on traditional on-site building methods. “Our company is called BOXABL, and we are building houses in a factory. Our goal is to fix housing by dramatically lowering the cost,” Tiramani said. “We think we can achieve that by just building houses on an assembly line with mass production, the way all other modern products are built since the Industrial Revolution. There's a huge opportunity in housing to bring this product category onto the assembly line.” Tiramani then explained how BOXABL's modular building system is designed to address one of the fundamental obstacles that has historically limited factory-built housing: efficiently transporting large structures from a centralized manufacturing facility to building sites. “What we're building is a replacement for traditional site construction, so we build to the regular residential building code,” he said. “The big innovation that we started with was fixing shipping because, of course, houses are very big, so they don't fit on the road. That's the reason they're not built in a factory. Our first solution was, let's fix that shipping so that we can get these things anywhere in the country without it being cost prohibitive. That means that we can actually have a big factory because we have a big shipping radius, and a big factory means mass production. It means economies of scale, and that's how we're going to be able to crush the cost.” For more information, visit the company's website at www.BOXABL.com     To hear the episode and subscribe for future podcasts, visit https://podcast.bell2bell.com For more information, please visit https://www.IBN.Ai Please see full terms of use and disclaimers on the InvestorBrandNetwork website applicable to all content provided by IBN, wherever published or re-published: http://IBN.fm/Disclaimer

Zubayr Ibn al-Awaam رضي الله عنه (S72) Narrations from other Companions رضي الله عنهم state Ali pledged to Abu Bakr رضي الله عنهم straight away. When Faatima رضي الله عنها passed away ~6 months after the Messenger ﷺ, Ali رضي الله عنه pledged again to Abu Bakr رضي الله عنه. Ali رضي الله عنه said whoever believes he is more superior to lead than Abu Bakr رضي الله عنه then this is a trait of the jahilliya times. Abu Bakr رضي الله عنه had the whole of Islam on his shoulders during his blessed Khilafat. His son in law Zubayr رضي الله عنه fought side by side during these most auspicious of times. Zubayr's full brother, Saa'ib Ibn al-Awaam رضي الله عنهم was martyred in the battle of Yamama. He رضي الله عنه was also a Badri.

ʿIlm al-rijāl is often treated as a technical, almost mechanical science — a matter of chains, dates and verdicts. But the criteria by which a narrator is praised or discredited are themselves shaped by theology, and theology changes.In this research seminar, Dr Syed Ali Hur Kamoonpuri (Aligarh Muslim University) traces that entanglement across a thousand years. He argues that the Baghdad school of the Buyid period evaluated transmitters against a firm and uncompromising stance on ghulūw, with Ibn al-Ghaḍāʾirī's Kitāb al-Ḍuʿafāʾ as its most rigorous expression — a work still rated highly by scholars including Grand Ayatollah al-Sistani. After the Safavid era, however, beliefs once treated as marks of exaggeration came to be counted among the essential doctrines of the Twelver school, and later scholars reopened the earlier rijāl verdicts in order to rehabilitate transmitters previously criticised as ghālī figures.Dr Kamoonpuri sets this trend against a contemporary counter-current — Ayatollah al-Burūjirdī, Grand Ayatollah al-Sistani and Ayatollah Muḥammad Bāqir al-Ṣadr — which holds that the early authorities read the ghulāt more soundly. His conclusion is a dialectic: doctrinal change rehabilitates transmitters, and the narrations of those rehabilitated transmitters then become fresh evidence for the very theology that rehabilitated them.Dr Syed Ali Hur Kamoonpuri specialises in Qurʾānic studies, Islamic intellectual history, Arabic language and literature, and Shīʿī studies. He holds Bachelor's and Master's degrees in Arabic and Islamic Studies from Aligarh Muslim University, graduating with distinction and university medals, and was awarded his PhD in 2019 for a four-volume dissertation on the exegesis of Nahj al-Balāgha in the late ʿAbbāsid period. He has published more than twenty-five peer-reviewed articles and lectures internationally.

A quick note on the audio - thanks for bearing with us! From next week's episode onwards, we have upgraded the setup so the audio quality improves DRAMATICALLY.

Zubayr Ibn al-Awaam رضي الله عنه (S41) The Angels (a.s) that were present at Badr were the best of the Angels. The Muslims (a.s) that were present at Badr were the best of the Muslims. Ubaydah Ibn Sa'eed Ibn al-Aas was a warrior at Badr, he sought a fight. The only thing that was visible was Ubaydah's eyes I.e due to him being covered in armour. Zubayr رضي الله عنه launched with a spear and killed him, piercing through his exposed eye area. The Messenger ﷺ asked for the spear as a memento. It was then passed onto Abu Bakr, Umar, Uthmaan and it ended up with the family of Ali رضي الله عنهم. Abdullah Ibn Zubayr asked for it from the family of Ali رضي الله عنهم and they gave it him, thus it was with him رضي الله عنه ~seventy years after Badr.

"Wetenschap? Dat is ook maar een mening, toch?"

The scientific achievements of the medieval Islamic world provided the forgotten foundations for much of the modern world's mathematics and physics. Dr. Huseyin Sen, historical map specialist at The Heritage Library, Qatar National Library, explores the critical necessity of reclaiming this heritage to combat cultural prejudice and build self-esteem in new generations. This discussion highlights the monumental contributions of scholars like Al-Khwarizmi and Ibn al-Haytham, whose work on algebra and optics remains foundational to global scientific knowledge. The conversation reveals the urgent need for digitizing, translating, and integrating these historical texts into modern education to bridge the gap between past innovations and current understanding.

His engineering background has enabled him to engage with the history of science and technology in a profound way (numerical and hands-on) and at the same time has allowed him to build bridges between the education of history of science on one hand and education of science on the other. He is particularly interested in combining history of science with STEM/STEAM education, and in introducing and engaging students with technologies of the future such as 3D printing via history of science like by developing working replicas of ancient inventions by 3d printing.   الدكتور حسين شِن هو مهندس طيران ومؤرخ علمي متخصص في تاريخ العلوم والتكنولوجيا العربية في العصور الوسطى. وقد مكنته خلفيته الهندسية من التعمق أكثر في تاريخ العلوم والتكنولوجيا، كما أتاحت له الربط بين تعليم تاريخ العلوم من جهة وتعليم العلوم من جهة أخرى. يركز د. شِن على الدمج بين تاريخ العلوم وتعليم العلوم والتكنولوجيا والهندسة والرياضيات، مع تعريف الطلاب بتقنيات المستقبل، مثل الطباعة ثلاثية الأبعاد، من خلال تاريخ العلوم، وذلك عبر تطوير نسخ مطابقة من الاختراعات القديمة باستخدام الطباعة ثلاثية الأبعاد. من أحدث مشاريعه لمكتبة الرئاسة التركية معرض بعنوان "تاريخ العلوم الإسلامية في 100 قطعة"، والذي يضم 100 قطعة، منها 87 نسخة طبق الأصل و13 مخطوطة علمية أصلية من العصور الوسطى. افتتح المعرض في أبريل 2021، وهو مستمر كمعرض متنقل منذ ذلك الحين. يتلقى د. شِن طلبات منتظمة لتحليل ووصف وتقييم الأدوات والمخطوطات العلمية العربية/الإسلامية من العصور الوسطى   Connect with Professor Hüseyin Şen  

In this presentation, Zeynep İrem Çeven explores how Ibn al-ʿArabī's understanding of emotions as spiritual states (aḥwāl) can inform a psychoeducational model for Muslim mental health care. She reframes emotions such as fear, sorrow, and joy as meaningful signals inviting reflection rather than problems to be corrected, offering practitioners a way to address distress without pathologisation or moral judgment.

Pourquoi la Torah parle-t-elle de certains miracles et en cache d'autres ? Pourquoi le monde s'est-il arrêté lors du don de la Torah ? Pourquoi certaines personnes peuvent-elles voir un événement comme un miracle, alors que d'autres le voient comme étant tout à fait normal ? Réponse à travers des propos du Ibn 'Ezra.

Fundamental to Islamic thought is the idea that there is a way that human beings simply are, by nature or creation. This concept is called fiṭra. In The Politics of Islamic Ethics: Hierarchy and Human Nature in the Philosophical Tradition (Cambridge UP, 2025), rooting her investigation in two central passages in the Qur'an and hadith literature, where it is asserted that God created human beings in a certain way, the author moves beyond discussion of the usual figures who have commented on those texts to look instead at a group of classical Islamic philosophers rarely discussed in conjunction with ethical matters. Tracing the development of fiṭra through this overlooked strand of medieval thinking, von Doetinchem de Rande uses fiṭra as an entrée to wider topics in Islamic ethics. She shows that the notion of fiṭra articulated by al-Fārābī, Ibn Bājja, Ibn Ṭufayl, and Ibn Rushd highlights important issues about organizational hierarchies of human nature. This, she argues, has major implications for contemporary political and legal debates. Raissa von Doetinchem de Rande is Assistant Professor of Religious Ethics and Islamic Studies at the University of Chicago. Host Yaseen Christian Andrewsen is a DPhil candidate at the University of Oxford, specialising in Islamic intellectual history in West Africa focusing on issues in Sufism, theology, renewal, and authority.

Tals leads Ibn, Eero, VS, and ZaZa as most of the party decides to go all-in on worshiping Grandfather Eel. They investigate the drowned corpses and recover a silver mace, then meet the Seven Sisters, who agree to turn ZaZa into watery form in exchange for the opportunity to eat "Abbot Tasty-Pasty". Zaza infiltrates the monks' sanctum and opens a path for the party, who negotiate, then coerce, Abbot Lummingwyll. They feed him to the bizarre hydra as promised, then return to deal with "The Charge" - a strange being formed of the union of St. Clewyd and his demonic foe. It vomits acid on them but they eventually overcome it, and cast its body into the Chaos Rift. That breaks the rift, ending most of the weird occurrences at the Abbey (though thankfully Grandfather Eel remains, as does Mr. Rag-n-Bones). Lots of treasure is discovered, and the party begins plans to make off with their loot and/or spread the gospel of Grandfather Eel.

After the GM goes on a tirade about historical potash production and we do a live Resources & Teams turn, Eero leads VS, Ibn the Roaster, and Zaza in a continued exploration of the underlevel of the Abbey of St Clewyd. They figure out a tricky door and make contact with the monks inside the western portion of the underlevel, who are split into Cardinite and Loyalist factions and speak of something called "the Charge" that they refuse to let the PCs see. Abbott Lummingwyll convinces them to take a holy mace into the chaos rift to disrupt it. Ibn goes in three times, with different results, and the final time is nearly killed (but saved by the children of Mr Rag&Bone). Eero duels a resurrected monk, and they lower VS down a rope into a well, where he encounters Grandfather Eel, who seeks for worshipers to ascend to godhood. At close of play, the sun has risen on the ruins, but both Ibn and Tals are missing from the party. To be continued!

VS leads Tals, Ibn the Roaster, and ZaZa back to the Phantom Cloisters by the dark of the new moon. They look for Mr Rag-n-Bones and speak to the children, determining that Violet is missing from a noble family. They see the Ghost Crow Trappers and descend to the undercroft level. There, while they investigate some strange vines, a warp worm attacks and swallows Tals whole. He is expelled when the worm is killed but it disappears into another warp. Animated cherubs and a very bad cosmic rift, Ibn and ZaZa temporarily swapping heads, and Zaza's legs turn into grasshopper legs. A room of chattering skulls and fleshy walls is investigated. They briefly battle some undead abbots, and stop at a confluence of strange waters where corpses lie at the bottom of a pool.

Before the swords clashed at Badr, three men stepped forward to face three of Quraysh's champions in a duel that would open one of the most pivotal battles in Islamic history. Hamza, Ali, and Ubaydah ibn al-Harith stood against Shaybah, Utbah, and Al-Walid; and the encounter ended with both swift victory and painful sacrifice. Ubaydah ibn al-Harith fell that day, bleeding severely, yet spent his final moments reciting poetry in defence of the Prophet ﷺ. The episode also covers the Prophet ﷺ spending the battle in his tent, raising his hands to Allah to the point where his garment fell from his shoulders, and Abu Bakr's emotional response beside him. Allah's answer came; angels descending, fear placed in the hearts of Quraysh, and victory granted to a small group of believers who had placed their complete trust in Allah. The episode closes with a powerful reminder that victory always belongs to those who hold firm to their faith, no matter how impossible the odds may look.

Zaza leads Ibn the Scorcher, VS, Talsarian, and Eero in a nighttime exploration of the ruined Abbey of St Clewyd, also known as the Phantom Cloisters. They meet some ghost crow trappers, then enter the compound through a side entrance. In the herb garden, they meet a ghostly monk who tells Eero a secret, and in the cloisters, they meet another who wishes his bones to be properly buried - he also has a magic spear that Eero takes and some Devilweed Tabac that Ibn smokes. Exploring the ruined chapel, Tals immediately finds a key and the hidden altar compartment where the Battle Standard of Tempus is stored. Eero plays the organ and releases a murder of Ghost Crows that attack the party. They eventually defeat most of them and harvest a single Ghost Crow Quill for Tals. They discover the graveyard with some corpses missing teeth, and bury the bones of the other monk. They also see a small child there but avoid her, and move over to the bell tower. There, Zaza prays to St Woad of the Bread and decides that he is now the Abbot of St Woad. They encounter two other small children who speak highly of Mr Rag-n-Bones and show the adventurers his strange artworks. Zaza summons Mr Rag-n-Bones by tolling the bell but manages to avoid combat by complimenting his artistic style. Mr Rag-n-Bones tells the players about his past as a servant of the Dewdrop Man and how to find Dewdrop Manse in the heart of the Southwood. Before dawn breaks (possibly trapping them there), the party retreats back into the Southwood and makes their way back to Wildfire Caverns to plan their next move.

Did we invent glasses, or did we invent the problem that makes us need them?

The Caravan Crew, led by Ibn the Scorcher and joined by wizard Tals (featuring Judd in his first DnDNerds appearance), visit the Abbey of the Broken Blade, a place for retired soldiers of war-god Tempus. Eero investigates whether Tempus is the god he's been searching for. They deliver some weapons and try to sell some armor, but instead are told some of the story of a mysterious site more than 150 miles to the west - the Phantom Cloister, also known as the Abbey of St. Clewweth, which only appears at night during the new moon. The party sets out to catch it by the next new moon in two weeks - along the way they battle fire beetles (which Tals successfully harvests fire glands from), stop to trade in Llorkh and at Zath Gor (formerly Oleg's Trading Post), and leave the caravan with Bariq at the Wildfire Caverns. They find some excellent hot springs, which ZaZa really enjoys. As the deadline approaches, they hear the unearthly wailing (or perhaps whaling?) associated with the site.

Was the great Sufi thinker Ibn 'Arabi actually a kind of idealist philosopher? In this video we explore the metaphysics of the Akbari tradition and the famous doctrine of Wahdat al-Wujud (Oneness of Being).I examine Ibn ‘Arabi's view that God (al-Haqq) is the only true Reality, while the universe is a divine self-disclosure within Being. Along the way we look at concepts like wujūd (Being), imagination (khayāl), the immutable entities (a‘yān thābita), and the idea that the world is a reflection of the divine attributes.Find me and my music here:https://linktr.ee/filipholmSupport Let's Talk Religion on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/letstalkreligion Or through a one-time donation: https://paypal.me/talkreligiondonateSources/Recommended Reading:Abdel-Hadi, Faris (2025).

Many hearts in Ramadan begin reconnecting with the Qur'an, but then a deeper longing appears: the desire to truly become from the people of the Qur'an. In this episode, we reflect on the greatness of the Qur'an, why its words have the power to heal hearts, and how a believer can begin building a real relationship with it. Drawing from the Qur'an, the Sunnah, and the powerful words of Ibn al-Qayyim, this reminder explores the avenues through which a person can love the Qur'an. Because when a heart truly learns to love the Qur'an, it is a sign that it has begun to love Allah.

What if the reason your heart feels restless in prayer is not weakness… but what you have been training it to love? This episode exposes a wounded heart many overlook: the heart filled with music. A heart that feels, cries, and moves - yet has learned to seek comfort in sound instead of the remembrance of Allah. Through the Qur'an, the statements of the Sahabah, and the insights of Ibn al-Qayyim, this reminder uncovers how music reshapes the heart, breeds hypocrisy, and slowly pushes the Qur'an out. From Abdullah ibn Mas'ud's oath regarding its danger, to a life-changing encounter that redirected a voice from singing to the Qur'an, this episode asks one urgent question: what truly fills your heart when you are alone?

Ramadan arrives - and instead of rest, your heart feels heavier. Responsibilities remain. Deadlines don't pause. Worship begins to feel like another weight on an already burdened soul. If you've ever wondered "How can I benefit from Ramadan when I'm overwhelmed?" - this episode is for you. This talk speaks to the serious heart: the one that fasts, prays, works, provides, and still feels exhausted. Through Qur'anic Ayaat, life-changing Ahadith, and the insights from Ibn al-Qayyim, this episode reframes Ramadan as a month of balance - not burnout. You'll learn why Allah never burdens beyond capacity, why spiritual ups and downs are natural, and what true Tawakkul really means: effort in its place, outcomes left to Allah. This Ramadan, don't ask how to do more. Ask the deeper question: what are you carrying that Allah never asked you to carry?

Jacob Mchangama, founder and director of the think tank Justitia, has written a one-volume history of freedom of thought, which ranges from the lone Demosthenes of 4th-century BCE Athens to the recent controversies regarding Donald Trump. In Free Speech: A History from Socrates to Social Media (Basic Books, 2022), Mchangama argues that the history of freedom of thought has recurrent themes, such as a free speech entropy: the perception of rulers or governments that if speech is not restricted then social or political decline or disorder is inevitable. Mchangama also notes how restrictions usually have the unintended effect of emboldening the speakers and making the forbidden speech even more attractive to potential listeners. This history also reveals advocates of free speech less familiar to Western readers, such as the ninth-century Persian scholar Ibn al-Rawandi, a theologian and later skeptic whose life illustrates the debates possible in medieval Islam. Mchangama reviews the modern debates regarding freedom of thought and the latest iterations of arguments about whether free speech will lead to social decline and chaos. Mchangama is a champion of free speech but his history provides a fair minded account of the concerns of speech restrictionists throughout history. Ian J.

In Chapter 38 of The Book of Trump, Ghost delivers a sweeping, deeply contextual walkthrough of the First and Second Russo-Chechen Wars, conflicts that shaped modern Russia, elevated Vladimir Putin, and revealed how external powers, radical Islamist networks, and long-buried ethnic tensions collided in the Caucasus. He traces the story from the collapse of the Soviet Union to Chechnya's bid for independence, the rise of warlords like Dudayev, Basayev, and Ibn al-Khattab, and the brutal urban combat that devastated Grozny. Ghost explains how foreign-funded jihadists transformed the conflict, how Russia's early miscalculations led to humiliation, and how the Kadyrov dynasty emerged as Moscow's solution to a region teetering between chaos and insurgency. With maps, timelines, historical context stretching back to ancient empires, and connections to modern geopolitics, this chapter lays the groundwork for understanding Russia's strategy, its asymmetric federation, its wars in the Caucasus, and how these conflicts still shape the global stage today.
