Pages For The Mind & Soul: Recent Episodes
Zak
The first step to knowledge is purity of purpose. My purpose is to learn, and to share as I learn. This podcast is an invitation to join me on my journey deeper into Islam, its history and its place in the world we live in today.
As in all things, we start from the beginning. The first book I will be reading is Adil Salahi's masterful biography of the Prophet of Islam 'Muhammad: Man and Prophet.' This tells the story not only of the prophet, but also the religious and cultural development of the religion that is followed by a quarter of the global population.
@pages_mind_soul for questions.
Although this chapter doesn't discuss events specific to Muhammad (PBUH)'s life, it is useful to understand a little more about the society around him before he received the first revelation. From this, we can understand how radical his message was, and the strength of reaction to it.
We continue Muhammad (PBUH)'s story from his marriage to Khadija, and his life as a father and member of his community.
A description of the Prophet's life after the death of his second parent, through to his first employment as a young man.
A description of the child Muhammad's life as an infant, and early signs of being divinely chosen.
We conclude setting the scene for the birth of the Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him.
Continuing the story of the Prophet Muhammad's lineage, this episode tells the story of his grandfather, and the discovery of the Holy well of zamzam.
From Abraham to Muhammad, a glance back at the Prophet's lineage, the establishment of Makkah and the building of the Ka'bah.
Join me as I begin reading the story of the Prophet that brought the religion of Islam to the world, over 1440 years ago. There is so much written and said about the man, but who was he? What do we know about his personality and character? What did he teach, and to whom? How did he live his life and what can we learn from him? These are all questions I want to know the answers to. I invite you to find the answers with me, by reading this masterful biography authored by Adil Salahi (Islamic Foundation, Kube Publishing).
