In Episode 586, Fr. Marc Boulos asks what it truly means to welcome someone in Scripture. In Luke's account of the feeding of the five thousand, the answer is far richer than simple hospitality. Examining the Greek verb ἀποδέχομαι (apodechomai) alongside the Hebrew root צ-ר-ר (ṣ-r-r) and the Arabic ص-ر-ر (ṣ-r-r), Fr. Marc demonstrates that biblical welcome is not merely greeting a stranger—it is binding someone into the community of God.Beginning with Luke 9:14–17, he traces the literary and lexical threads that unite the crowd's welcome of Jesus (Luke 8:40) with Jesus' welcome of the crowd (Luke 9:11), culminating in the wilderness banquet. Along the way, he explores Luke's distinctive vocabulary of reclining (κατακλίνω), the companies (κλισίαι) of fifty, Israel's wilderness camp, the Greek symposium, the Gibeonite covenant meal, Abigail's "bundle of the living" (1 Samuel 25:29), Abraham's guests in Sūrat al-Dhāriyāt (Qur'an 51), Noah's self-bound hearers, the manna traditions of Exodus, Psalms, and the Qur'an, and the recurring biblical contrast between those whom God binds to himself and those who bind themselves to the old.Rather than treating Greek, Hebrew, and Arabic as isolated languages, this study follows their shared literary and lexical patterns to illuminate the grammar of the biblical text, revealing how the wilderness table gathers Jew and Greek into one people under one God. ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★

What if your greatest mistake became the very thing that brought you closer to Allah? In this episode of Quran Conversations, Dalia Mogahed is joined by Imam Kebba Sallah to reflect on verses 121–123 of Surah TaHa. Imam Kebba Sallah was born and raised in the Washington D.C. area. He is the community Imam for the ADAMS Sully branch in Chantilly, Virginia. Imam Kebba has completed memorization of the Holy Quran and has ijaazah in Qiraat Hafs An Assim. He has studied Islamic sciences in the traditional method with local and international teachers. He is a student of Imam Mohamed Magid and other U.S. based scholars. He studied classical Arabic language at Qasid Institute in Amman, Jordan and continues to pursue advanced Arabic mastery. As the story of Adam (AS) continues, these verses move beyond the mistake itself to reveal something even more profound: Allah's mercy after the fall. Adam's story reminds us that failure is never the end. What defines us is not whether we make mistakes, but how we respond to them. Together, Dalia and Imam Kebba explore the symbolism of clothing in the Qur'an, the connection between taqwa and spiritual protection, the role of regret in sincere repentance, and why our mistakes can become the very means through which Allah elevates us. They also reflect on the lifelong battle against Shaytan and the peace that comes from following Allah's guidance. In this episode, you will learn:

What if the life you've been chasing was never meant to satisfy you?In this episode of Quran Conversations, Dalia Mogahed is joined once again by Ustadha Samia Mubarak to reflect on verses 117–120 of Surah TaHa.As Allah warns Adam about Shaytan's deception, these verses reveal a timeless truth about the human condition. Shaytan's strategy has never changed: convince us that fulfillment lies just beyond what Allah has already given us. The promise of "more" becomes the very thing that robs us of gratitude, contentment, and closeness to Allah.Together, Dalia and Samia explore the illusion of the perfect life, why the Qur'an is the closest thing to Jannah we can experience in this world, and how Shaytan exploits our deepest fears and desires to pull us away from Allah.In this episode, you will learn:

What is the Problem of Ghayba in Twelver Shi'ism? And why does the occultation of the Twelfth Imam remain one of the most debated questions in Twelver Shīʿism? Dr Hashem Morvarid explores.The occultation (ghayba) of the Twelfth Imam sits at the heart of one of Twelver Shīʿī theology's most persistent challenges: how can an Imamate defined by presence and public authority be occupied by an Imam who is hidden?In this research seminar, Dr Hashem Morvarid (Utrecht University) applies the tools of Islamic analytic theology to the Problem of Ghayba, offering a systematic critical review of four major responses in the classical and modern tradition — unseen presence, psychological benefit, the cosmic role, and the spiritual role — before advancing an original proposal grounded in the Qurʾān's treatment of moral evil in Q 2:30–33.Drawing on the Qurʾānic account of Adam's knowledge of "the names," Dr Morvarid argues that the Imam's theological significance lies in serving as God's moral reason for preserving humankind in existence — a role that, unlike leadership or religious instruction, does not require public presence. On this reading, the Imam's hiddenness is not a theological embarrassment, but consistent with what his existence is ultimately for.Dr Hashem Morvarid is an Assistant Professor of Philosophy at Trinity University, specialising in Islamic philosophy and Shīʿa theology. He holds two PhDs in philosophy — from IPM, Tehran, and the University of Illinois at Chicago — and was previously a Postdoctoral Fellow at Johns Hopkins University.00:00 – Introduction: The Problem of Ghayba05:24 – The Classical Definition of Imamat09:14 – Response 1: Unseen Presence12:49 – Response 2: Psychological Benefit (and Taftāzānī's Rebuttal)15:39 – Response 3: The Cosmic Role17:53 – Response 4: The Spiritual Role (Wilāya)21:39 – A New Proposal: The Imam as God's Moral Reason27:20 – Qur'ān's Response to Moral Evil (Q 2:30–33)33:49 – Evaluating Three Interpretations of "the Names"42:21 – Implications for Ghayba and Closing Objection

Surah Al-Qasas (Chapter 28 of the Qur'an) tells the story of Prophet Musa (Moses) and highlights themes of faith, justice, patience, and Allah's guidance. The surah begins with the oppression of the Israelites under Pharaoh and describes how Musa was miraculously protected as a baby and raised in Pharaoh's palace. It follows his journey from exile to prophethood, including his encounter with Allah at Mount Sinai and his mission to free his people. The surah also recounts the story of Qarun (Korah), a wealthy man who became arrogant because of his riches and was ultimately destroyed as a warning against pride and greed. Overall, Surah Al-Qasas emphasizes that power and success come from Allah alone, and that righteousness, humility, and trust in God lead to true success. This video series is a curated collection of reflections and summaries drawn from the 30 Days with the Qur'an series, where each Juz was explored over the month of Ramadan. While not a full tafsir, these concise and heartfelt talks aim to highlight key themes and insights from each Surah to inspire a deeper connection with the Qur'an. In this series, we've taken those reflections and focused them surah by surah, offering a dedicated video for each chapter of the Qur'an. The goal is to spark curiosity, build motivation, and encourage further study of the Qur'an in a manageable, engaging format. Whether you're revisiting familiar Surahs or exploring new ones, these summaries are here to help you pause, reflect, and fall in love with the Qur'an all over again.

In this latest episode of the Firmly Rooted podcast, Rehan Salim unpacks why the Qur'an consistently pairs the command to worship Allah alone with goodness to one's parents - arguing that honouring parents is not a side thing, but one of the most direct routes to Allah's pleasure.This episode will help you reframe how young Muslims and university students should think about their parents - while they still have them.This video covers:Why the Qur'an repeatedly ties worshipping Allah to goodness toward parentsInspiring stories that show what honouring a mother can earnThree practical habits for university students: humility, learning what makes them happy, and consistent communicationHow to navigate difficult or controlling parents - including the three criteria for when to listen to themHow to speak to your parents about marriageLooking for more Firmly Rooted content?

Why do some mistakes bring us closer to Allah, while others pull us further away?In this episode of Quran Conversations, Dalia Mogahed is joined by Dr. Hatim Yousef—Islamic scholar, linguist, Qur'an teacher, and translator—for a reflection on verses 115-116 of Surah TaHa.Drawing on his background in linguistics, Qur'anic sciences, and tafsir, Dr. Hatim explores the story of Adam and Iblis through both the language of the Qur'an and its spiritual lessons. Together, he and Dalia reflect on the beauty of the Qur'an's sounds, the honour Allah bestowed upon humanity, the danger of arrogance, and the transformative power of sincere repentance.This conversation reminds us that the Qur'an is not simply a book to be understood intellectually—it is a living conversation with Allah, meant to heal, awaken, and transform the heart.In this episode, you will learn:

ABOUT THE EPISODEAre Islam and Christianity separated brothers, mortal enemies, or something in between? History tells the storySponsorThis month, we're talking about how Christians engage with Islam, a conversation Southern Seminary has taken seriously for a long time. As President Al Mohler has put it, you can't prepare a minister for today's world without reckoning with Islam. That conviction is why Southern now offers a PhD in Islamic Studies, and why it's home to the Jenkins Center, a team devoted to helping pastors, missionaries, and everyday believers reach their Muslim neighbors with the gospel. To find resources and learn more about degrees, visit sbts.edu/islamicstudies. And be sure to listen to our interview with Dr Ayman Ibrahim, who is the head of the Jenkins Center.Timestamps00:41 - Intro03:20 - Examining Muhammad's Role and Christian Rejection09:32 - Analyzing the Quran's Gnostic Connections and Distorted Narratives18:13 - Unpacking th Quran's Variants and Historical Inaccuracies26:33 - Understanding Abrogation and Muslim Migration to the West31:17 - Navigating Ministry Challenges with Muslim Migrants37:19 - Defining Terms and Learning about Islam for Gospel Outreach44:36 - Responding to Islam's Political Aims and Sharia Law56:27 - Asking the Crucial Question: Do You Have Assurance?Resources to Click“Islam and Christianity: A Brief History” – Tony Costa“Does the Bible Predict the Coming of Muhammad?” – Tony Costa“Jesus in Islam” – Tony Costa“Does the Qur'an Really Deny That Jesus was Crucified an Died on the Cross?

In this presentation, Dr Mahmoud Abdallah explores the emergence of Islamic spiritual care in Germany as a response to gaps in traditional family- and community-based support. He examines its academic and social value for Muslim communities and considers its relationship to established theological disciplines such as fiqh, Qur'anic studies, and Hadith studies.

In this presentation, Dr Mahshid Turner explores a theologically grounded model for Muslim chaplaincy rooted in the Qur'anic concepts of fitrah, the primordial covenant (alast), and the Divine Names and Attributes. She proposes that chaplains can help individuals "read" life events, relationships, and suffering as signs of Divine communication, offering a pastoral approach that works across diverse and pluralistic contexts.

In episode 585, Fr. Marc Boulos explores the profound linguistic and scriptural connections between Luke 9:10–13 and Sūrat al-ʿAṣr, showing how both texts speak a common Semitic grammar of time, need, loss, and divine provision.As the day declines in Luke, the disciples conclude that the crowd must be sent away. They see the wilderness, the fading light, and their five loaves as proof that there is not enough. Yet Jesus reads the very same signs differently. Throughout Scripture, the wilderness is where God feeds his people, the declining day belongs to the God who stretches out the heavens like a tent, and apparent lack becomes the place where his provision is revealed.Drawing on Hebrew, Greek, and Arabic, Fr. Marc examines the roots behind Luke's language of need (χρεία), the bending of the day (κλίνω / נ-ט-ה / ن-ط-و), and the Qurʾan's oath by the "declining time," al-ʿaṣr (العصر), arguing that both texts confront the same temptation: allowing the pressure of time and the appearance of scarcity to govern our judgment instead of the command of God.The episode also considers the biblical understanding of desire, the guarding of the heart, the relationship between God's word and true provision, and the symbolic significance of the five loaves as the bread of the Torah. Rather than presenting the feeding of the five thousand as a miracle detached from its setting, Fr. Marc shows how every detail—the wilderness, the hour, the bread, and the command—belongs to a single scriptural grammar in which obedience transforms lack into abundance.The Declining Day is an invitation to read the signs as Scripture reads them: not through the arithmetic of scarcity, but through the God whose provision is already present in the very place where the world sees only loss. ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★

Once a month I teach a tafseer class at UWA, and tonight we finished Surah al-Fatihah. We started back in April, paused in May while I was at Hajj, and picked it up again this week.This is the most important surah in our lives. We recite it at least seventeen times a day — and there has to be a reason Allah asks that of us. The whole reason we sit with it is to see how seven short verses, recited so many times that they almost slip past us, are actually a map for how to live.We began by going back over the verses we'd already covered, because the later ones don't land without them.Grounded is a reader-supported publication. To receive new posts and support my work, consider becoming a free or paid subscriber.Bismillah — In the name of AllahThe first thing to notice is that Bismillah isn't a complete sentence. “In the name of Allah” — and then what? In Arabic this is a shibh jumla, a fragment. The sentence is left open on purpose, and you complete it with your action.That's why the Prophet ﷺ said that anything important begun without Bismillah is cut off from blessing. When you say it, you're invoking Allah's help before you've even started.From that one word, three things follow.First, it's a filter. When you put Allah's name on something, the wrong things become hard to do. I mentioned the Indonesian sheikh who was asked whether smoking is makruh or haram. He refused to give a fiqhi answer. He simply asked the man: can you say Bismillah before you smoke? The man said no, of course not, it wouldn't be appropriate. Then you already know the answer. Put a Bismillah in front of a thing, and you find out very quickly what it's worth.Second, it's a mindset. When you do something in the name of someone great, you raise your game. A footballer plays differently for his country than for his local club — the colours change how seriously he takes it. So when a Muslim acts in the name of Allah, he doesn't do things half-heartedly. The Prophet ﷺ told us Allah loves itqan — excellence, doing a thing to the best of your ability. You see it in the smallest acts, like taking wudu carefully without wasting water, and you see it across the whole of Muslim civilisation. Walk through the old mosques of Andalusia and look at the detail in the calligraphy, the care in every surface. That care begins at Bismillah. Allah is beautiful, and He loves beauty.Third, it's our source of barakah. Because we're invoking Allah's help, we stay humble when we succeed — we know it was His work through us, not our own greatness — and we stay calm when we fail, knowing there may be something better in it. We're not euphoric in success or crushed in failure. We did it Bismillah, and we leave the outcome to Him.Grounded is a reader-supported publication. To receive new posts and support my work, consider becoming a free or paid subscriber.Alhamdulillah — All praise is for AllahThen comes gratitude — and gratitude, it turns out, is the real engine of human happiness.There's a study I keep coming back to, out of UC Berkeley and UC Davis. They took people struggling with depression and split them into groups. One group received nothing. One received medication. One was given gratitude work — every day, write down the things you're thankful for. After a month, the group that did nothing got worse, the medicated group improved, and the gratitude group improved just as much as the medicated one.But the follow-up study found something sharper. Gratitude has pillars. To be grateful you need three things: the beneficiary (you, the one receiving), the benefit (the thing itself), and the benefactor (the one who gave it).When a friend buys you a kebab, all three are obvious — you know exactly who to thank. But who do you thank for good rain on a morning you love? For the parents you didn't choose? For children born healthy? You had no hand in any of it. The Bureau of Meteorology reports the weather; it doesn't send it.This is why, for those who removed God, the gratitude eventually collapses — the mind quietly asks, who am I actually thanking? It's no accident that the self-help shelves are filling with crystals and auras and the old paganism is creeping back. People are reaching for a power to thank and finding nothing there.We already have the answer. Alhamdulillah. And the fact that Allah even taught us who to thank is itself a thing to be grateful for — which is why it becomes an endless loop. Alhamdulillah for the Alhamdulillah.Rabb al-'alamin — Lord of all worldsSo who is this we're thanking? Allah is Rabb — and Rabb doesn't just mean Lord. It carries the meaning of nurturing. Not a creator who set the universe running by its own laws and stepped back, but One who creates, sustains, and nurtures every moment. And al-'alamin — everything that exists besides Him.Then immediately: ar-Rahman, ar-Rahim.Why mercy again, so soon after Bismillah? Because it isn't repetition. Imam al-Tabari disliked calling anything in the Qur'an repetition — we repeat ourselves only when we've run out of better things to say, and Allah never has. The mercy here is placed deliberately. The word Rabb — Lord, Master — can stir fear; this is a power that can do anything to us and we can do nothing back. So the instant that fear rises, Allah answers it with love. He is not a Lord laying traps so you'll trip and fall into the fire. Every law He sets is for our benefit, not His — if all eight billion of us turned away tomorrow, it would take nothing from His majesty, and only harm ourselves.This is the balance the scholars call khawf and raja', fear and hope. Lean only on hope and you grow careless; lean only on fear and you despair. Rabb al-'alamin and ar-Rahman ar-Rahim, side by side, hold you upright.Maliki yawm id-din — Master of the Day of JudgmentThis verse is read two ways — Malik (King) and Maalik (Owner) — and here is something worth understanding about our recensions. The different readings of the Qur'an don't contradict each other the way variant manuscripts elsewhere might. They complete each other.A king and an owner aren't the same. I own this iPad — I don't call myself its king. As owner I can use it, lend it, smash it, and no one can question me; I control every detail. But you don't own a country, you reign over it — a king sets the laws that govern the whole. The owner handles the detail, the king handles the big picture. Allah is both. On that Day He sets every rule — who speaks, who goes where, when it begins — and He holds every single soul down to the smallest detail.And notice the word din. Allah could have said yawm al-qiyamah. He chose din, which in Arabic is one vowel from dayn — debt. Religion and debt are bound together, because the reason we worship at all is a debt of gratitude we owe Him.The Prophet ﷺ embodied this. He prayed through the night until his feet swelled, and when Aisha asked why — when Allah had already forgiven him entirely — he answered: should I not be a grateful servant?That's the summit. People worship for different reasons. Some out of fear of the Fire — valid. Some to bargain, O Allah, I have an exam — also valid, also sincere. Al-Ghazali called these levels: the slave who obeys out of fear of beating, the merchant who trades. But the highest is the one who worships out of sheer gratitude, moved by love.An easy way to check where you sit — I use it on myself. Look at how you set your alarm for Fajr. If sunrise is 7:15 and I set it for 7:00, just enough to make the prayer before it's lost, I'm moving out of fear of missing it. The one moved by gratitude sets it for 5:00 — time for tahajjud, some Qur'an, then Fajr. Same prayer. Very different relationship.And this debt isn't only with Allah. The Day of Judgment is the day all debts are settled — including the ones we owe each other. The Prophet ﷺ told us of the true bankrupt: a man who arrives with a mountain of good deeds, sees his scale, thinks he's bound for Paradise — and then the people he wronged come forward. He cheated me. He hit me. He slandered me. His good deeds are handed out one by one until they run dry, and when they're gone, their sins are loaded onto him instead. He started rich and ended in ruin.So al-Fatihah reminds us, seventeen times a day, that everything we do is being counted. This is why the Qur'an says prayer restrains us from indecency — at Fajr you're reminded twice, at Dhuhr four times, before the day can pull you off course. Maliki yawm id-din. Settle your debts before they're settled for you.The turnUp to here, every verse has been about Allah — describing Him, praising Him from a kind of distance. Then the whole surah pivots.Iyyaka na'budu wa iyyaka nasta'in — You alone we worship, You alone we askIn Arabic you'd normally begin with the verb. Allah front-loads iyyaka — “You” — and that inversion is where the word only comes from. It isn't written in the verse; it's created by the word order. Only You we worship. Only You we ask. And He says it twice, to drive it home.Then look at na'budu. We translate it “worship,” and we shrink that to rituals — prayer, fasting, dhikr. But its root means slave. A slave has handed over his freedom; he doesn't get to say no, not this one. So this is far bigger than the window of prayer. Every part of life — how we work, how we rest, how we treat people, how we entertain ourselves — belongs to Allah.People hear “slave” and recoil. Translators reach for “servant” instead, and even that's going out of fashion. But enslaving yourself to Allah is the one freedom that's real — because we are never as free as we imagine.Ask a child almost anywhere in the world to recognise the golden arches and they can, often before they can read. They link it to happiness — the happy meal did its work. But be honest: is that the best burger you've ever had? Is that the best playground in your city? The parks in Perth are better. We didn't choose to want it; a marketing machine chose for us.Or take diamonds. You “need” one to propose — except diamonds are neither rare nor precious. They're abundant; the scarcity is manufactured. The entire idea was a De Beers campaign from the 1920s, and it reshaped what a whole civilisation believes love requires.Even right and wrong get sold to us. Things shift from forbidden to acceptable not because the science changed but because someone with deep pockets lobbied hard enough. A hundred years ago, women in Perth dressed almost like Muslim women — high collars, long sleeves, covered ankles. A century later they're barely clothed, and it's called freedom. Yet the bikini was designed by a man. How is that liberation?So iyyaka na'budu hands us a fixed point. Our right and wrong, our values, our whole standard comes from Allah alone — and that's exactly what makes us stable when everything else is being marketed at us. We reaffirm it seventeen times a day.And iyyaka nasta'in — only You we ask for help. Of course we ask people for help too. But a believer knows that if someone helps me, the help still came through Allah. When I drink to quench my thirst, it isn't the water doing it — it's Allah, using the water as His means. Even so, the Prophet ﷺ told us that whoever doesn't thank people hasn't truly thanked Allah. So this isn't an excuse to skip past gratitude to the person in front of you. Thanking them is part of thanking Him.Ihdina as-sirat al-mustaqim — Guide us the straight pathNow, finally, we ask for something. And of everything a person could ask the Lord of all worlds for — wealth, relief, rescue — the prayer lands on guidance.And there's no “to.” If Allah meant guide us toward the path, the Arabic would include ila. He leaves it out. Professor Quraish Shihab puts it well: if you ask me the way to the musalla, I can point — out the door, left, right, right again. That's directions, and goodbye. But ihdina sirat al-mustaqim, with no ila, is the other kind — come, let's go, I'll walk you there myself. So we're not asking Allah to show us the path from a distance. We're asking Him to walk it with us — every step, every decision, sometimes hour by hour.Then the word sirat itself. Arabic has several words for path — sabil, tariq — but sirat is a wide one. Its root means to swallow something whole; a sirat is broad enough to swallow crowds. This matters. The straight path isn't a narrow ledge for our group alone. It's vast. Whoever prays as we pray, faces our qiblah, eats our slaughter — the Prophet ﷺ called that person a Muslim. We can disagree sharply on creed and method and still not expel one another from the path.And within that one wide road there are subul — lanes. Allah says of those who strive, We will guide them to Our ways — plural. Some people reach Allah most easily through prayer; sunnah prayers come light to them. For others it's fasting beyond Ramadan, or teaching, or feeding the poor, or caring for orphans and single mothers. Different gifts, different lanes, same road.Which means I have no business looking down on anyone. I might memorise more Qur'an than the next person and assume I'm above him — when he may be carrying half his community on his back while I spend my time reciting. Allah handed out different talents on purpose. Use yours as your lane to Him, and leave the contempt behind.The path of those blessed — and the two who lost itAllah doesn't leave the path abstract. He names who's already on it: the path of those You have blessed. Elsewhere He tells us who they are — the prophets, the truthful, the martyrs, the righteous. So this road isn't some untrodden wilderness we have to hack through. People have walked it ahead of us. Find your heroes among them.We're built to follow heroes — it's why influencers now out-earn the executives of the platforms they post on. So Allah meets that instinct and points it somewhere worthy. We should know our prophets. We should know the siddiqin — Abu Bakr, the certified truthful. The martyrs — Umar and Uthman. The righteous companions, each one.If our children can name all eleven players on a football team but not the ten companions promised Paradise, something has gone wrong in the home. I'm not against knowing the players — some people can tell you the exact weight of the racquet Federer uses, custom-made, not the commercial one. Fine. But then let's also know the length and weight of our Prophet's sword. The more we know our heroes, the more we love them, and the more we want to become like them.Then the final turn: not the path of those who earned anger, nor of those who went astray. The classical scholars sometimes named specific groups, but I prefer the reading that looks at character — and it ties the whole surah together.Look back at the seven verses. The opening ones — Bismillah, Alhamdulillah, ar-Rahman ar-Rahim, Maliki yawm id-din — are verses of knowledge. They tell us things. The later ones — only You we worship, guide us — are verses of action. We do something with them.So the two who lose the path are:* The one who has knowledge and refuses to act on it — that's the one who earned anger. He knew and chose not to.* The one who acts without knowledge — that's the one astray. All effort, no guidance, lost despite his sincerity.There's a hadith — discussed by the scholars, used by al-Mundhiri to spur us — where the angels come first for those who knew the Qur'an and didn't live it, before the idol-worshippers, and when those people protest, the answer comes: are the one who knew and the one who didn't know the same? Disobedience out of knowledge is heavier than disobedience out of ignorance.The complete surah is both together: knowledge and action. You know, and you act on what you know.Seven verses. And the Prophet ﷺ told us this is a conversation — every time we recite it, Allah answers, line by line:When you say Alhamdulillahi rabbil 'alamin, Allah says: My servant has praised Me. When you say ar-Rahman ar-Rahim, He says: My servant has glorified Me. And when you say ihdina sirat al-mustaqim, He says: This is for My servant — and for him is what he asked.That's the conversation we have with our Lord at least seventeen times a day. Tonight we finally heard the whole of it.One more thingAt the end of tonight's class, I opened something I've been building for a while.It's called Grounded — a way to actually learn the Qur'an you recite, instead of reading a translation once and forgetting it. It follows the same shape as the class itself: you learn an ayah, you recall it, and then you ground it in a daily habit. One ayah a day. About fifteen minutes.We start, of course, with al-Fatihah — the same surah we've just finished.It's been in private beta with my own students at Qaswa, who've been on it for a while now — competitive enough that some of them stay up at night trying to climb the leaderboard, only to wake up and find they've been overtaken. Tonight I opened it to the UWA cohort as the next group in.If you're a paid subscriber to this Substack, you're next in line. I'll be sending invitations before long, and you'll be among the first outside these classes to join.Stay tuned. Next month, a new surah.Here's the fuller version. Every point gets room to build the way it did in the room, and the app section now places UWA correctly — Qaswa students were already on it, UWA is the second cohort. This is a public episode.

How much is enough to earn Allah's pleasure? And could the smallest act of sincerity outweigh a lifetime of mistakes?In this episode of Quran Conversations, Dalia Mogahed and Sheikh Mohammed Magid reflect on verses 113-114 of Surah TaHa, where Allah reassures the believers that no righteous deed will ever be lost and reveals His extraordinary generosity in rewarding even the smallest acts of goodness.Their discussion explores the vast difference between Allah's justice and His mercy. While every bad deed is counted as one, every sincere good deed is multiplied many times over. They reflect on why our worries, grief, and emotional struggles are never wasted, how ordinary moments of daily life become acts of worship through intention, and why sincerity matters more than quantity.The conversation then turns to the Qur'an itself—why it was revealed in Arabic, why its language is part of its miracle, and how engaging with the Qur'an transforms not only what we know, but who we become.In this episode, you will learn:

For free masterclass : Click here People-pleasing isn't a habit you can simply decide to quit. It's your nervous system running a survival program that was wired in long before you ever had a say in it. And the moment you understand that, everything starts to shift, because you finally stop fighting the wrong thing.In this episode I walk you through the six faces this survival response wears, the disguises your nervous system learned to put on to keep you safe. You'll almost certainly recognise yourself in more than one, and maybe in all of them. Then I show you what's actually happening in your brain when you live this way, why every wisdom tradition on earth points to the same way back, and the one small practice that starts to bring you home to yourself.The six faces: The Perfectionist. The Peacekeeper. The Caretaker. The Performer. The Chameleon. And the Lone Wolf, the one almost nobody even calls people-pleasing.In this episode:Why "set boundaries, stop caring, just love yourself" never actually worksWhat people-pleasing really is, the fawn response, and why these patterns are blends, not boxesWhat chronic people-pleasing does to your brain, and how safety brings your thinking back onlineWhy losing connection to yourself quietly costs you in every area of your lifeHow presence brings you home, and the simple daily practice that starts itKey takeaways:People-pleasing is not a character flaw or a willpower problem. It's the fawn response, a survival reaction named by therapist Pete Walker.It shows up in six forms: the Perfectionist, the Peacekeeper, the Caretaker, the Performer, the Chameleon, and the Lone Wolf. Most people are a blend of several.Chronic people-pleasing keeps the brain in a low-grade threat state, which reduces access to the prefrontal cortex, the part you think and decide with.Reconnecting to yourself is a trainable act of attention called interoception, not a vibe or a mood.Losing touch with your own needs measurably lowers self-esteem and wellbeing, shown in Jennifer Campbell's research on self-concept clarity.The way back is presence, the same answer every major wisdom tradition arrived at independently.FAQ: Q: What is the fawn response? A: The fawn response is a survival reaction in which you keep yourself safe by keeping other people happy. Therapist Pete Walker named it as a fourth response alongside fight, flight, and freeze, and it's the pattern underneath chronic people-pleasing.Q: What are the six types of people-pleaser? A: The Perfectionist, the Peacekeeper, the Caretaker, the Performer, the Chameleon, and the Lone Wolf. They're not rigid boxes. Most people are a blend, and they all share one root, a lost connection to yourself.Q: Is people-pleasing a trauma response? A: Often, yes. People-pleasing frequently develops early as a way to stay safe in an unpredictable or high-conflict environment, which is why willpower alone rarely changes it.Q: How do you actually stop people-pleasing? A: Not by forcing more boundaries, but by rebuilding your connection to yourself through presence. A simple start is to pause three times a day and ask your body one question, what is true for me here, before you answer for anyone else.Mentioned in this episode:Pete Walker, Complex PTSD: From Surviving to Thriving (the fawn response)Meg Josephson, LCSW, Are You Mad at Me?

ABOUT THE EPISODE:Are Islam and Christianity separated brothers, mortal enemies, or something in between? History tells the story.SponsorThis month, we're talking about how Christians engage with Islam, a conversation Southern Seminary has taken seriously for a long time. As President Al Mohler has put it, you can't prepare a minister for today's world without reckoning with Islam. That conviction is why Southern now offers a PhD in Islamic Studies, and why it's home to the Jenkins Center, a team devoted to helping pastors, missionaries, and everyday believers reach their Muslim neighbors with the gospel. To find resources and learn more about degrees, visit sbts.edu/islamicstudies. And be sure to listen to our interview with Dr Ayman Ibrahim, who is the head of the Jenkins Center.Resources to Click“Islam and Christianity: A Brief History” – Tony Costa“Does the Bible Predict the Coming of Muhammad?” – Tony Costa“Jesus in Islam” – Tony Costa“Does the Qur'an Really Deny That Jesus was Crucified an Died on the Cross?

Can one sincere act change your entire standing before Allah?In this episode of Quran Conversations, Dalia Mogahed is joined by Imam Mohamed Magid to reflect on verses 112–113 of Surah TaHa.After discussing accountability and the consequences of wrongdoing, these verses shift our attention to hope. Allah reassures believers that no righteous deed will ever be lost, overlooked, or diminished. Even the smallest act of goodness—done with sincerity and faith—can carry immense weight with Allah.The conversation explores Allah's generosity in multiplying good deeds, the hidden rewards behind everyday acts of service, and the countless opportunities Allah places in our lives to draw closer to Him. Dalia and Imam Magid also reflect on the Qur'an as a living miracle, the significance of its Arabic language, and why the Qur'an uses diverse methods of guidance, warning, stories, and reminders to awaken the human heart.In this episode, you will learn:

In this profound episode of School of Divine Mysteries, the Mahdi Aba Al-Sadiq explores the hidden spiritual realities behind prophecy, testing, and human destiny, joined in conversation by his disciple Tiffany. This episode delves into the forgotten covenant of the souls, the world before creation, and why this physical life is not a first test—but a reenactment of an ancient one. Through deep Qur'anic insights, prophetic narrations, and esoteric knowledge, the discussion uncovers how inner belief and disbelief manifest across lifetimes, why divine tests repeat, and how free will, destiny, and spiritual purification truly work. The conversation also examines envy as the root of spiritual downfall, the unseen burden of divine authority, and why even prophets and messengers were tested with humility and self-knowledge. Using powerful symbolism, timeless myths, and sacred history, this episode challenges common assumptions about righteousness, leadership, and what it truly means to be chosen by God. Viewers are invited to reflect on envy, obedience, reincarnation, the Rajʿah (Return), and the mercy embedded in divine justice—making this episode essential viewing for anyone seeking deeper understanding of Islamic mysticism, the Ahlul Bayt, and the spiritual mission of the Mahdi in our time.

Bliss in Triple Rhythm–A Toolbox for Poets: Nine Ways to Shape A Word Song: Shown in 300 Original Poems by Martin Bidney https://www.amazon.com/Bliss-Triple-Rhythm-Toolbox-Poets/dp/1987402561 Mmartinbidney.org This book of word songs in unexpected melodic patterns will surprise you by its equally unusual liveliness. I’m so eager to begin singing for you that, as you noticed, I’ve already written a prefatory poem in one of the varied kinds of triple rhythm units I’ll be illustrating (la LA la; weak STRONG weak; one TWO three; x/x). The strangest thing I’ll be doing in my collection is to bring about a resurrection of ancient stanza patterns embodying the musical structures I love. The uncustomary triple-rhythm stanza forms richly displayed will acquire a real if unlikely novelty by presenting tools so extremely old. About the author Martin Bidney, Professor Emeritus at Binghamton University (NY), writes poetry books that are dialogues. In “Shakespair” he converses in Shakespearean sonnets with the 154 that the bisexual Bard himself wrote in the 1590s about his boyfriend and girlfriend. In “A Unifying Light” Martin converses with Qur’anic passages on the topic of Jews and Christians in the Qur’an and the Islamic virtues they embody. “East-West Poetry” shows Martin replying, in poems, to passages from both the Qur’an and Rumi. “Poems of Wine and Tavern Romance” offers 103 dialogues between Martin and Hafiz, the 14th century Persian pub poet he translates, a Muslim Sufi who was bisexual, like Shakespeare, and whom Germany’s greatest poet, Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, called his “twin” brother! (Martin translates Hafiz from the same version Goethe used.) In fact, Martin has also translated Goethe’s own “West-East Divan” (divan means “collection”) and wrote conversational reply poems to all of Goethe’s 240 lyrics. Martin’s dialogue book with the greatest Polish poet, Adam Mickiewicz, contains, on facing pages, the sonnets he wrote in response to the “Crimean Sonnets” he translated from Polish. In “Like a Fine Rug of Erivan” he translates 39 Pushkin poems from Russian and recites them on a CD. His wide-ranging fascination with revelatory writing stems from “Patterns of Epiphany,” where Martin pioneered a method of analysis he has since applied to over 20 authors.

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.

In Episode 584 of the Bible as Literature Podcast, Fr. Marc Boulos explores Luke 9:10 through the Semitic root ס־פ־ר / س־ف־ر (samek-fe-reš / sīn-fāʾ-rāʾ), uncovering a rich biblical ecology of sending, hearing, obeying, recounting, and carrying the word of God.Beginning with a sharp critique of Greek epistemology and the modern assumption that knowledge originates in the human mind, Fr. Marc argues that Scripture presents a radically different orientation. The fool who says "there is no God" is not merely the unbeliever, but the one who enthrones himself in the seat of judgment, making human reason the source of truth. In contrast, the biblical witness portrays humanity not as the author of knowledge but as its recipient, addressed and commanded by God.Tracing the root ס־פ־ר across the Hebrew Bible, the New Testament, and the Qurʾan, Fr. Marc shows how the apostles' "report" in Luke 9:10 is far more than a missionary debrief. Their recounting belongs to the same scriptural pattern found in Abraham's slave, Moses, Ezekiel, Joseph, and the prophets: the slave is sent, encounters God's action, and returns to recount what God has done. The true witness does not testify to his own experience but hands on the command and deed of the Lord.Along the way, Fr. Marc explores the connections between journey (safar), scroll (sefer), scribe (sofer), unveiling, dreams, hearing and obedience (ש־מ־ע / س־م־ع), and the contrast between faithful slaves who carry God's word and false prophets who recount only the dreams of their own hearts. The episode culminates in a powerful reading of Luke 9:10 in which the apostles appear not as religious entrepreneurs reporting their accomplishments, but as slaves who have been found, sent, instructed, and returned to hand back the word they received. The question is not what a person knows, but which way he is turned. ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★

Fundamental to Islamic thought is the idea that there is a way that human beings simply are, by nature or creation.

What if the thing you're trying hardest to hide is already completely known to Allah?In this episode of Quran Conversations, Dalia Mogahed is joined by Imam Muhammad Magid to reflect on verses 110–111 of Surah TaHa.These verses shift our attention to two profound realities: Allah's infinite knowledge and humanity's complete humility before Him on the Day of Judgment. Allah knows what came before us, what lies ahead of us, and everything in between—while our own knowledge remains limited and incomplete.Together, Dalia and Imam Magid explore what it means to be truly known by Allah, the power of naming and understanding our experiences, and why the Day of Judgment is ultimately a day of complete exposure, accountability, and justice.In this episode, you will learn:
