Ep. 42: Truth in the Age of Feeling - Muhammad Mendes
Shaykh Muhammad Mendes returns to the podcast to discuss the concept of truth in the Islamic worldview, the role the heart plays in determining how we recognize truth, and the changing standards (or lack of standards) for truth in the age of relativism, "alternative facts" and "fake news". How can we be seekers of truth and guide others to it?
Ep. 4: Finding Your Own Path to the Prophet - Meraj Mohiuddin and Shad Imam
