Friday prayer with Imam Asi 7-12-2019 An ayat that exposes status quo Sunni and Shi'i fanatics

Did Lady Zainab (as) play a much greater role in Karbala than we know? How do her sentiments of leadership differ or compare to those of Western feminist movements in the post-modern era? Does free speech exist within any religion? Or, is it a luxury limited to believers in God? All this, and much, much more in our latest podcast featuring the world renowned Father Christopher Clohessy . Mohammed and Ahmed found Father Chris to be really cool - he is cultured, humble despite his global recognition, and incredibly intelligent. Having grown up in an Irish Catholic family in South Africa, he then pursued the study of religion. Father Christopher spent a year in Cairo, Egypt, studying Islamic studies as a Catholic priest, and then became aware of Imam Hussain (as). Since then, he learned of the battle of Karbala, and subsequently two of the most incredible personalities in world history - Lady Fatima (as) and Lady Zainab (as). Father Christopher has been one of the first academics to publish works in the English language on these two characters. He has lectured in communities worldwide, alongside his day-to-day work as a Professor in Shi'i studies at the Pontifical Institute of Arab and Islamic Studies in Rome.

In this episode, Kamyar and Rustin talk to Stefan Williamson Fa, co-founder of Mountains of Tongues, a project documenting and promoting musical dialects in the South Caucasus. Mountains of Tongues showcases traditions that defy normal categorizations of "national" or "folk" music through the use of non-conventional instruments, multiple languages, and a blending of different musical genres. Stefan shares three songs from the Mountains of Tongues archive and from his most recent fieldwork in Georgia: a Georgian-Azeri bilingual Kamancha song by Sergo Kamalov, Aşıq Nargile's rendition of the Aşıq Qərib story, and a Azeri electric guitar solo from a wedding in Qaçağan, Georgia. Stefan Williamson Fa recently received his PhD in Anthropology at University College London. His research focuses on performance and lamentation rituals in Turkish-speaking Shi'i communities in Eastern Anatolia and the Caucasus.

Sayyid Sulayman Hasan from the Ahl ul-Bayt Seminary visits Lighthouse and sheds lights on this timely topic.

After the decline of the Fatimids (episode 61), the medieval Middle East entered a period called the Sunni Revival, in which Shi'ism was officially discouraged and Shi'i institutions were closed and replaced with Sunni institutions. Or, at least, that's what the official chroniclers tell us. The buildings themselves tell us a different story--one that tries to bring decades of conflict to an end by accommodating different beliefs. Art Historian Stephennie Mulder has spent the past decade working in Syria and shares a new look at history of Sunni and Shi'a in Syria during the medieval period; and how both histories are threatened by ISIS and the Syrian Civil War.

Professor Charles Tripp of SOAS examines the construction of a myth of separation between the two Islamic groups, the Sunni and the Shi'I. A fascinating breakdown of the power of suspicion and rumour in international politics. Hosted by Dr Amnon Aran.
