This episode is unique and timely. Shah Ahmadi was born and raised in Iran in a devout Muslim family, under a system where Islam functions as state law, not just personal faith.He grew up memorizing the Quran for hours at a time. Believing his good deeds had to outweigh his bad. Never hearing the word grace.As he began questioning and searching for truth, anxiety followed him. Fear of punishment. Spiritual resistance when he stepped toward church.Then he encountered Jesus not as an idea, but as peace .His decision cost him. His family faced arrest. And still he says, “I love Muslims. I would die for them.”This conversation is about truth, compassion, and courage. It gives insight into the climate of Iran and other Middle Eastern countries right now. Listen with an open heart.

This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit groundeddaily.substack.comWhy Belief Must Come Before Practice: Introduction to Imam Al-Ghazali's 40 PrinciplesUnderstanding the foundations of Islamic knowledge requires more than memorizing rulings or performing rituals. It demands a systematic approach to learning that begins with certainty in belief before moving to practice. This article explores the framework laid out in Imam Al-Ghazali's The 40 Principles of Our Religion, examining why aqidah (creed) forms the essential foundation upon which all other religious knowledge is built.The Three Dimensions of Islamic PracticeThe Islamic tradition recognises three fundamental dimensions of religious life: Islam, Iman, and Ihsan. This framework, derived from Hadith Jibreel (known as Umm al-Sunnah), provides the organisational structure for understanding our religion.Islam: The Science of PracticeIslam encompasses the ritualistic and practical aspects of religion, which later developed into the science of fiqh (jurisprudence). While four major schools of Islamic law are widely recognised today, the historical reality reveals far greater diversity. Scholars document more than 80 madhabs during the early period of Islamic intellectual development.The survival of a legal school depends not on the Imam's knowledge alone, but on the continuity of transmission. Consider the madhab of Imam Al-Layth ibn Sa'd: despite Imam Al-Shafi'i's assertion that he was “afqahu min Malik” (more knowledgeable in fiqh than Imam Malik), his school did not survive because his students failed to continue the work.The Importance of Unbroken TransmissionContemporary practitioners receive their understanding of Islamic law through an unbroken chain of transmission (isnad) extending back to the founding Imams. For Shafi'i scholars, this means a documented chain of teachers and students from the present day all the way to Imam Al-Shafi'i himself.This chain preserves not just the rulings, but the contextual understanding and technical terminology. Without this living transmission, legal texts become increasingly difficult to interpret accurately. Imam Al-Shafi'i's magnum opus, Al-Umm, illustrates this challenge. Despite its importance, this foundational text is rarely taught in traditional Islamic circles today because the specific terminological framework has not been preserved in the same way as later works.Legal terminology evolves across generations. Early scholars often used cautious language when discussing prohibitions, preferring phrases like “I dislike this” rather than definitively declaring something haram. This reflected both their taqwa (God-consciousness) and their reluctance to claim authority over matters of divine law. In communities with high levels of religious commitment, such subtle expressions were sufficient to guide behavior.As communities changed, scholars adapted their pedagogical approach. The terminology became more explicit and categorical, even as the underlying rulings often became more accommodating. Imam Al-Nawawi's strict position on Fatiha recitation—invalidating prayer for mispronouncing even a single letter—was later moderated by scholars like Imam Al-Haythami, who recognised that people from certain linguistic backgrounds might be physically unable to produce specific Arabic phonemes.This adaptation reflects not inconsistency, but the dynamic nature of fiqh as a living discipline that must address the reality of Muslim communities. A contemporary example: visiting a remote fishing village in Malaysia, one encounters Imams who are part-time dive masters or boat captains, leading congregations where the recitation quality varies significantly. The fiqh tradition accommodates this reality while maintaining standards appropriate to each context.Iman: The Science of BeliefIman addresses matters of belief, formalized into the science of Aqidah. Within this domain, several schools of thought emerged:Athari (textual): This approach relies primarily on scriptural authority. The Quran commands belief, therefore one believes. This circular reasoning functions effectively in majority-Muslim contexts where baseline assumptions about God's existence and the Quran's authority are shared cultural knowledge.Ash'ari and Maturidi: These schools, founded by Imam Abu Hassan Al-Ash'ari and Imam Mansur Al-Maturidi respectively, integrate revelation with rational argumentation. This synthesis became necessary as Muslims encountered diverse philosophical traditions and needed to defend their beliefs through reasoned discourse.Ihsan: The Science of Spiritual ExcellenceIhsan developed into the science of tasawuf (Islamic spirituality), which also encompasses multiple approaches:The Salaf approach emphasizes wara' (scrupulousness) and zuhud (asceticism). Note that “Salaf” refers to a historical period—the first three centuries of Islamic history—rather than the modern movement called “Salafism,” which emerged several centuries later.Imam Al-Ghazali championed tazkiyah (purification of the soul), focusing on removing spiritual diseases from the heart and cultivating praiseworthy character traits.The Falsafah (philosophical) school, represented most prominently by Ibn Arabi, engaged with metaphysical questions and influenced Islamic mystical thought, particularly in Ottoman territories.This study focuses primarily on the tazkiyah tradition, as it addresses the practical work of spiritual development most directly applicable to contemporary Muslims.

It seems like everyone in the world is waking up to the fact that evil exists… and it's a lot worse than they thought it was.  Suddenly all of those horrifying verses in the Quran about what ultimately happens to really evil people doesn't seem so extreme, eh? Recently, as I was doing my Quran recitation, I came across a phrase that made me realize that there are a LOT more Epstein files than the 3 million that have been released and the REAL Epstein files are a lot clearer and more telling than the random emails that have gone back and forth between him and other well known people.  

Mandani sparks controversy after quoting religious texts to defend sanctuary policies, as the panel debates immigration, crime, and leadership in New York City. From rising crime stats to trash-filled streets and policing clashes, the discussion turns fiery and unapologetic.

Josh opens the show by diving into what everyone is talking about after the Super Bowl — and it’s not the game, but the halftime show featuring Bad Bunny. He explains why the performance struck many viewers as more divisive than unifying and examines how the NFL’s cultural messaging has shifted in recent years. Josh also breaks down why some conservatives have taken issue with the halftime choice and argues that many critics are missing the larger point behind the backlash. He then turns to the growing controversy surrounding comments from several U.S. Olympians regarding ICE agents, and what their remarks reveal about the broader cultural climate. Josh also discusses last week’s moment involving the New York City mayor quoting the Quran, tying it into what he sees as a larger cultural and political shift impacting the country. To close the show, Josh looks at rising tensions with Iran and previews the upcoming meeting between Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and President Trump, explaining why the conversation could carry major implications for the region and beyond.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In this episode of Crossing Faiths, John Pinna speaks with Dennis Petri, focusing on the evolution and current state of metrics used to gauge religious freedom and persecution. Petri explains how documenting religious incidents is crucial for making them visible to policymakers, countering older secularization theories that often overlooked religious influence in public life. The discussion highlights the transition from anecdotal evidence to sophisticated datasets—such as those from the Pew Research Center—while acknowledging persistent gaps in capturing implicit discrimination and the nuanced cultural contexts of faith. A major theme of the interview is the potential for artificial intelligence and "big data" to enhance real-time reporting and move research beyond nationwide aggregates toward more detailed, sub-national analysis. Ultimately, Pinna and Petri emphasize the need for a "new IRFA moment" to update international religious freedom policies in alignment with modern technological advancements and data-driven insights. Prof. Dr. Dennis P. Petri is a political scientist, researcher, and international consultant, with extensive experience in Latin America, Europe, Africa, and the Middle East. He has worked in academic and policy roles for various universities, international NGOs, and multilateral organizations. Currently, Petri is Visiting Professor at the UN mandated University for Peace and Professor in International Relations and Humanities at the Latin American University of Science and Technology of Costa Rica. He also lectures at the Central American Public Administration Institute, the UNESCO mandated Latin American Faculty of Social Sciences (FLACSO), and The Hague University of Applied Sciences. He has been a visiting scholar at the University of Amsterdam (The Netherlands), the Interamerican Center for Social Security Studies, Bar-Ilan University (Israel), and Regent's Park College, University of Oxford (UK).

Pearls in the Deep: How the Quran Solves the Problem of Evil and Suffering by Radio Islam

Poetry is the oldest of the arts. Long before there were written words, there were poems—spoken, sung, and remembered. It may even be one of the things that made us human according to historians way smarter than myself. The human brain just seems wired for rhythm, pattern, and story. Those ancient receptors feed the imagination and stir the emotions. In that way, poetry didn't just reflect culture—it helped *create* it. So, what exactly *is* poetry? Im not sure I want to open that debate here, but wonder how can something so ancient still feel so immediate? Let me offer ten observations that might help us see what makes poetry different from any other form of language. First, poetry is universal. You can go anywhere on the planet, in any century, and find itid speculate it may be—because there is no society without poetry. It is a language of the human soul, expressed in infinite tongues. Second, it's our oldest art form. Before brushes, before clay, poetry used the body itself—the voice, the ear, the heartbeat. Movement, and community. Ancient peoples shaped their words to be remembered, because they had no other way to keep their stories alive. Third, poetry was born an oral art. It was speech made musical—organized through rhythm and repetition so that memory could hold it. You could say poetry was the very first memory technology. Fourth, poetry is performative. In pre-literate cultures, it lived in rhythm and motion—sung, chanted, and danced. It wasn't meant to sit on a page; it was meant to live in the air. Fifth, poetry is mnemonic. Rhyme and meter weren't just about beauty—they were survival tools. When people recited their myths, their laws, their wisdom, they did it in verse because verse could be remembered word-for-word, generation after generation. Sixth, poetry is evocative. It doesn't instruct by argument but by enchantment. The music of its words lowers our defenses, stirs the imagination, and opens doors in the memory we didn't know were there. Seventh, poetry is formal. The very shape and rhythm of a poem signal that this is *special* speech—set apart from everyday talk. Even when we read free verse, its visual and rhythmic choices still announce: this language asks for your attention. Eighth, poetry is sacred. In its earliest forms, it was used to speak to the divine—to praise, to mourn, to invoke, to remember. Poets were priests and priestesses, shamans and prophets. Even now, poets like Whitman or Blake seek vision and revelation through the line and the breath. Ninth, poetry is magical. Long before science, people believed words could change the world, and in a way, they still can. A love poem is a spell to move the beloved's heart. An elegy calls the dead back into memory. Even a satire can shrink its target down to human size. Poetry transforms perception—that's its power and its charm. And lastly—tenth—poetry civilizes. From Orpheus in Greek myth to the epics of Homer, to the Psalms, the Quran, the Vedas, the book of Kings—civilizations have risen around poetic memory. Nations find themselves through their poets. A tribe becomes a people when it begins to sing its story. So what, then, is poetry? Simply put, poetry is a special way of speaking that invites a special way of listening. It is an art of language that carries meaning not only in what is said but in *how* it sounds, how it moves, and how it makes us feel. ...In the end, poetry exists to delight, to instruct, to console, and to commemorate. It wakes us up—to life, to loss, to wonder, to each other. That, I believe, is the enduring purpose of poetry: to change, in small but meaningful ways, the way we live. https://bit.ly/CafeSyDCommunityhttps://bit.ly/SyD-PODPodcast https://bit.ly/SyD-TVYouTube

Send us comments, suggestions and ideas here! In this week's episode we cross ourselves with hot-dog water and prepare to draw a circle of wisdom around a religious archetype that has haunted our collective imaginations for over a millenea; THE ANTICHRIST! Join us as we explore the entire story of the Antichrist using the Old Testament, The New Testament, the Quran and Tucker Carlson interviews as our source for revealing The Idol Shephard who is destined to vanquish the Saints, roll out the Mark of the Beast and prepare to do battle with none other than Jesus Christ himself. In the free side of the show we discuss the epistles of John, the vision of Daniel and what it all has to do with a Seleucid tyrant king named Antiochus the 4th. Warning: it gets pretty graphic. In the extended side of the show we discuss the Kingdom of Edom, the Satanic Angel Samael, the Gematria of Little Horn, a bit of alchemy, a bit of ancient Egypt a brief eschatological timeline of exactly how you're screwed and finally the Islamic version of the Antichrist known as the Djal.

Ever wondered which small acts of kindness can shower you with Allah's immense blessings? Today, we tell you about one of the shortest ways to Paradise mentioned in many verses of the Quran. Islam places great emphasis on this virtue, promising peace and prosperity in return.

“Can Muslims pray to the same God?” This question opens a discussion on the theological connections and differences between Islam and Christianity. The conversation also touches on the implications of John 14:6 in light of the Quran’s view of the Gospels, the Catholic response to Jesus’ separation from God in Matthew 24:36, and effective approaches to engaging with cradle Muslims and converts. Join the Catholic Answers Live Club Newsletter Invite our apologists to speak at your parish! Visit Catholicanswersspeakers.com Questions Covered: 01:47 – Since the Quran gives positive credit to the Gospels, what do they think of John 14:6? 05:33 – Muslims quote Mt 24:36 as Jesus separating himself from God. What’s the Catholic response? 12:21 – Sunan abi dawud 44:52. Is there any evidence for the four-witness claim? 16:35 – What’s the most effective approach to cradle Muslims and Muslim converts? 19:40 – Sure Muslims pray to the same God but He doesn't hear them since they don't pray in Jesus' name. 23:40 – What does the Quran sawilliam alby about God being love? 28:45 – Did Islam come from Hagar and Ishmael 32:01 – What do you think about the theory that a gnostic offshoot of Catholicism prepared Mohammed to start Islam to foil the economic plans by the Jewish authorities that were challenging the growth of Catholicism? 33:23 – Do you ever discuss the Cappadocian fathers to Muslims? 40:23 – My friend is marrying a Muslim woman. She is going to convert to Christianity. Does it make a difference if she goes either Catholic or Orthodox? 45:17 – What was Islam before Mohammed? 48:16 – Where did Muslim veneration for Mary come from?
