The religion of Islam embraces cultural practice and in no way prohibits its expression unless its in conflict with religious law. In this lecture, Dr. Sheikh Faiyaz discusses how culture can be used for positive growth, but can also serve as a barrier in one way or another, particularly when it comes to marriage. The lecture is in three primary dimensions: 1- Defining Culture 2- Where is there Room for Culture in Islamic Law? 3- Cultural Barriers in Contemporary Marriages

Due to various geo-political factors, as well as a misunderstanding of classical texts, many believe that Shia Muslims have a different Quran, which undermines the promise of God, where He maintains that He is the protector of His book. In this discussion, Dr. Sheikh Faiyaz responds to these misconceptions in three dimensions: 1- The Shia Belief in the Quran 2- Defining the Mushaf of Fatima 3- Defining the Sahifa of Ali

The story of Prophet Moses (a) and the wise man, otherwise known as Abd Al-Saleh, or Khidhr as taught in our traditions, is one of the most unique anecdotes presented within the Quran. At the same time, it's one of the most difficult stories to grasp. In this lecture, Dr. Sheikh Faiyaz discussed this story in three dimensions: 1- A Summary of the Story 2- Ethical Lessons Derived 3- Theological Lessons Clarified

The Islamic tradition emphasizes a balance between understanding our responsibilities for the next world with our role living in this transient world. And numerous verses of the Quran, coupled with traditions of the Prophet and his family speak to the importance of abstaining from attaching ourselves to this world, and meditating on the world beyond this one. In this lecture, Dr. Sheikh Faiyaz speaks about how we can prepare to live for the next world in three dimensions: 1- Defining Abstinence from the Dunya 2- Imam Ali's Advice to His Companion Nawf 3- Lessons We Can Apply from the Imam's Advice

Understanding our identity is a vital study across various academic disciplines, and for many believers, subscribing to their religious identity is the most valuable means to explain who they are.

The discussion is in three dimensions: 1- Defining Social Identity 2- Shia Islam, Ashura Rituals & Social Identity 3- Allowing Symbols to Transcend

At the 27th United Nations Climate Change Conference in Sharm el-Sheikh, Egypt, the calls for the restructuring of multilateral development banks are echoing through the halls, with the hopes that with reforms, finance will flow more readily to lower-income countries to allow them to green their economies and help their populations adapt to the changing world. In the 12th episode of the COPcast, Devex sat down with Phyllis Cuttino, the new president and CEO of the Climate Reality Project, who emphasized one reform in particular: A switch up in leadership at the World Bank. "Davis Malpass ... has a past where he has denied climate science and I think that makes him unsuitable to lead the World Bank at this time," she said, adding that the bank also needs to commit to only financing fossil fuel projects in the "most extraordinary of circumstances."

Today on Sojourner Truth we discuss the UN Climate Summit held in Egypt, or Cop 27, that culminated Sunday November 20th after two weeks of arduous negotiations. This victory is a direct result of mounting pressure from global civil society organizations present in Sharm el-Sheikh and in cities and capitals around the world, combined with strong leadership, 30 years in the making. A breakthrough deal is the establishment of a loss and damages fund to help poorest countries most impacted by climate change. Rich countries are agreeing to contribute to this fund but what will this actually look like? It will likely still be several years before the fund exists. Major lingering questions include: who would oversee the fund, how the money would be dispersed – and to whom. Many countries said they felt pressured to give up on tougher commitments for limiting global warming to 1.5 degrees Celsius in order for the landmark deal on the loss and damage fund to go through. And the richest countries largely contributing to fossil fuel pollution, made no real commitments to curb their use, in fact the loss and damage funds deal also included a reference to "low-emissions energy," raising concern among some that it opened the door to the growing use of natural gas - a fossil fuel that leads to both carbon dioxide and methane emissions. Joining us to discuss and contextualize the gains and concessions that took place at Cop 27 are, Shereen Talaat is Co-director and one of the founders of The Arab Watch Regional Coalition for Just Development that covering issues in the Middle East and North Africa, Tina Gerhardt, journalist and Cop 27 correspondent covering the UN conference for The Nation magazine and Luiz Vieira coordinator for the Bretton Woods Project. The Bretton Woods Project is a civil society watchdog of the IMF and World Bank, advocating for a multilateral system that is democratic, inclusive, transparent, accountable, and responsive to people, especially the poorest and most vulnerable.

 A historic deal was struck at the UN's COP27 summit at Sharm el- Sheikh that will see rich nations pay poorer countries for the damage and economic losses caused by climate change. It ended almost 30 years of waiting by nations facing huge climate impacts. But developed nations left dissatisfied over progress on cutting fossil fuels. During the Sharm climate conference, Yosef Abramowitz, a green energy entrepreneur, smashed tablets atop Jebel Musa in Egypt, thought by many to be the site of Mount Sinai, to symbolize Israel's and the world's failure to protect the planet and the lack of action on climate change. KAN's Mark Weiss asked him why he made such a dramatic protest.  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The recently concluded COP27 highlighted an issue that has been a part of the climate debate but in the peripheries- loss and damage which means losses and damages suffered by countries due to climate disasters. For the first time in history, loss and damage captured the centre stage of a climate conference, making it a historic event. Indian Express' Amitabh Sinha, who was present at the conference in Egypt's Sharm el-Sheikh, joins us in this episode to talk about the debates on loss and damage and the outcome of COP27.

L'opinione più diffusa sulla Conferenza dell'Onu sul clima che si è conclusa a Sharm el-Sheikh nella notte fra sabato e domenica è che i risultati effettivi siano stati pochi. In parte è così, ma Sara Gandolfi (che ha seguito i lavori in Egitto) spiega che si è parlato poco di tanti piccoli risultati nascosti che lasciano spazio a un po' di ottimismo in più.Per altri approfondimenti:- Accordo finale alla Cop27: sì al fondo per i Paesi vulnerabili, ma sulle fonti fossili il mondo è fermo http://bit.ly/3AB98mY- Clima, accordo sul fondo per i danni da eventi estremi http://bit.ly/3TWCJhh- Le pagelle di Cop27: risultati (pochi), errori e tante promesse dai leader al summit http://bit.ly/3Os5rpc

Op de VN-klimaattop in Sharm-el-Sheikh werd anderhalve dag langer onderhandeld dan gepland, maar zonder het door Nederland gewenste resultaat. Het lukte niet om verdere afspraken te maken om klimaatverandering te beperken. En dat terwijl wetenschappers blijven waarschuwen dat snelle maatregelen noodzakelijk zijn om grote rampen te voorkomen. NOS- klimaatredacteur Heleen Ekker was bij de top, haar zevende. In de podcast legt ze uit waarom het nu niet lukte om nieuwe afspraken te maken. Op de top werd wél iets besloten waar ontwikkelingslanden al jaren om vroegen. Er komt een fonds, betaald door rijke landen, waarmee schade door klimaatverandering in arme landen kan worden vergoed. Maar ook daar zitten nog heel wat haken en ogen aan, vertelt Afrika-correspondent Elles van Gelder. Reageren? Mail dedag@radio1.nl

Halvannet døgn på overtid endte klimatoppmøtet i Sharm el Sheikh med å bekrefte klimamålet fra forrige toppmøte. Skuffende, oppsummerer EU, FN og miljøopposisjonen her hjemme. Men Frp gleder seg over at det ikke ble enighet om å fase ut olje og gass. Viktigere at Asia kutter ut kull, sier Frps Terje Halleland. Hør episoden i appen NRK Radio

There was weary applause at the close of COP27– as the environment conference was FINALLY wrapped up in Sharm el-Sheikh with a deal at 4.15am on Sunday morning. The global agreement was meant to have been signed on Friday. African delegates had lobbied heavily for a ‘loss and damage' fund – to compensate countries suffering climate related disasters - and this did make the final text. But efforts to set tougher targets for cutting fossil fuels failed. So was this a victory for Africa – on paper at least? For Africa Daily, Mpho Lakaje gets the thoughts of leading African environmentalist Wanjira Mathai. Presenter: @mpholakaje. Guest: @MathaiWanjira

Mehr Geld für Entwicklungsländer, die unter dem Klimawandel leiden – aber kaum Maßnahmen, um diesen aufzuhalten: Mit diesem Ergebnis ist die 27. Klimakonferenz im ägyptischen Sharm el-Sheikh zu Ende gegangen. Nachdem die Verhandlungen übers Wochenende wegen Unstimmigkeiten in die Verlängerung gehen mussten, ist es nun zu einem Kompromiss gekommen. Aber reicht das aus, um die drohende Klimakatastrophe aufzuhalten? Wer ist beim Klimagipfel auf die Bremse gestiegen, und welche Länder wollten Gas geben? Alicia Prager aus der STANDARD-Wirtschaftsredaktion und Philip Pramer aus der STANDARD-Zukunftsredaktion waren bei der COP 27 vor Ort und sprechen heute darüber, warum es international so schwierig ist, sich auf eine gemeinsame Klimapolitik zu einigen. Wir fragen nach, wie es auf der Klimakonferenz zugegangen ist – wie etwa mit kritischen Protesten umgegangen wurde. Und wir besprechen, ob die COP 27 insgesamt ein Misserfolg war. **Hat Ihnen dieser Podcast gefallen?** Mit einem STANDARD-Abonnement können Sie unsere Arbeit unterstützen und mithelfen, Journalismus mit Haltung auch in Zukunft sicherzustellen.

Extreme weather devastated Sierra Leone's capital city of Freetown in 2017 when torrential rains led to landslides that killed over 1,000 people. Now the city's population is grappling with temperature increases and population swells due to people migrating from rural areas as erratic rainfall makes subsistence farming less sustainable. Freetown Mayor Yvonne Aki-Sawyerr is working to help her city adapt in areas such as building heat-resistant market shelters and building a cable car to cut down on emissions and pollution. She sat down with Devex on the sidelines of the 27th United Nations Climate Change Conference in Sharm-el- Sheikh, Egypt, to talk about the need for cities to have greater ownership on climate action. Aki-Sawyerr is ​​vice chair of C40 Cities, an organization of 96 cities focused on reducing emissions and helping their populations adapt to climate change.

I årenes løb er FN's såkaldte Conference of the Parties eller COP blevet afholdt i byer over hele verden – og omgivelserne og omstændighederne har hver gang haft en betydning. For forhandlingerne og for resultatet. Sådan kan det meget vel også gå i år. Jeg taler med en af vores udsendte til Sharm el-Sheikh, Tore Keller, om det klimatopmøde, der gerne skulle ende med en tekst i denne weekend. Vi taler også om litteraturpriser. Om en, der fik en, Solvej Balle, der i starten af måneden modtog Nordisk Råds Litteraturpris. Det var samme dag, som der var folketingsvalg, og vi fik derfor ikke snakket om hende her. Heldigvis udkommer den 18. november fjerde bind af monsterværket Udregning af rumfang. Litteraturanmelder Lone Nikolajsen hylder. Og så skal vi tale om nogle andre, der ikke kan modtage priser for dansk litteratur, fordi de ikke er danske nok – for eksempel fordi de ikke i første omgang har skrevet bogen på dansk. Vi må have en bredere definition af, hvad dansk litteratur er, siger Lone Nikolajsen. Rune Lykkeberg er også forbi. Denne gang med en optur over, at det ikke løb løbsk, da et missil i denne uge ramte en landsby i Polen og dræbte to mennesker. Og når jeg nu har ham, vil jeg gerne vide, hvorfor Information har besluttet sig for ikke at skrive en eneste linje om det VM, der i denne weekend går i gang i Qatar.

O presidente eleito Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva discursou nesta quarta-feira (16) na COP27, a conferência do clima das Nações Unidas, em Sharm el-Sheikh, no Egito. Ele afirmou que o país “está de volta para reatar os laços com o mundo”, buscando se contrapor ao isolamento e negacionismo ambiental do atual presidente, Jair Bolsonaro. O Durma com Essa fala da intenção de Lula de reapresentar o Brasil no cenário internacional por meio dos temas do meio ambiente e da crise do clima, e dos questionamentos domésticos à carona que o petista pegou no jatinho de um empresário até o evento. O programa também traz a Mariana Vick comentando as dificuldades em torno do financiamento climático e o Marcelo Roubicek falando sobre a PEC da Transição.

Cop27 got off to a difficult start last week. Attendees struggled with a lack of food and drink, civil society group events were curtailed, and more than 600 fossil fuel lobbyists hit the conference halls – more than the delegations of many of the most vulnerable countries combined. As we head into the second week, Madeleine Finlay hears from biodiversity reporter Patrick Greenfield about what it's been like in Sharm el-Sheikh, and from environment editor Fiona Harvey about what's happened so far and whether much progress is likely to be made in the final days of negotiations.

This week, Alan, Quinta, and Scott were joined by Brookings Institution Middle East expert Natan Sachs to talk over the week's big (non-U.S. election) national security news, including:“Bibi Got Back.” Last week, an unprecedented fifth national election in the last four years returned controversial former Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to power, at the head of a coalition including several far-right nationalist parties. What does his return to office mean for the future of Israel and the region? And its relations with the United States?“COP Out.” The United Nations' 27th annual Convention of Parties (also known as “COP27”) is playing host to world leaders in Sharm-al-Sheikh, Egypt, this week, where some are hoping to find new consensus on how to combat climate change. Are countries taking these challenges seriously? What are these efforts likely to look like moving forward?“Everybody Toots.” Elon Musk's purchase and dramatic reorientation of Twitter is begging to drive users to other social media platforms, including the decentralized Mastodon network. What will Musk's changes mean for the future of disinformation and content moderation, both within Twitter and outside of it?For object lessons, Alan endorsed hunting the world's most dangerous game: man (with paintballs). Quinta passed along a useful reference on the state of crime in the United States and the way it is being used in the midterm elections. Scott recommended everyone try a sip of his long neglected workplace colleague. And Natan celebrated the pandemic perseverance of his office jade plants as a sign of hope in dark times.Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/lawfare. Hosted on Acast.
