PODTHOUGHT: RELIGION AND WORLD HAND IN HAND
I had a thought which I wanted to share. Some muslims often claim that one’s faith and the material world need to walk hand in hand with each other without them being extreme in either. It is strange how most of those who claim this and use this statement as a way to enjoy theContinue reading “PODTHOUGHT: RELIGION AND WORLD HAND IN HAND”
PODNEWS: CURE FOR CORRUPTION

PODTHOUGHT: REFOCUS THROUGH LOSS
I had a thought which I wanted to share. I was pondering over a specific wisdom why people face difficulties and the loss of blessings, such as health. Often when muslims receive blessings especially, beyond their need, it distracts them from the hereafter and instead focuses their minds on this material world. So in thisContinue reading “PODTHOUGHT: REFOCUS THROUGH LOSS”
PODNEWS: COMPROMISING ON FAITH
I read a news article a while back which I wanted to discuss. The news article reported how a female senior member of the American government was fired because she refused to implement an order which was clearly unethical and immoral.
