Ep. 109: The Social Blueprint of Surah al-Hujurat - Ustadha Zaynab Ansari

Surah al-Hujurat provides a timeless Qur’anic framework for building ethical communities by establishing the divine ethics of sacred brotherhood and mutual respect. Shaykha Zaynab Ansari from Tayseer Seminary returns to the podcast and examines these themes in light of the Neo-pharaonic world order and cult of technology that prioritize the few at the expense of the many, providing practical guidance for restoring justice and rebuilding human connection.
