How did we end up with these huge volumes of Hadith, and can we trust these to be what our imams said? How do we deal with Hadith that we read and do not make sense to us?

Join Abbas and Sayyid Ali Imran to discuss these key topics and more.

Is prison abolition an Islamic project? How does anti-Shi'ism manifest itself through structures and global power politics? How can we as Muslims stand up for justice? 

In light of the recent political climate, we sat down with community organiser Hoda Katebi for an unmissable conversation.  Through drawing on her activist experience and organising with Believers Bail Out, Hoda deconstructs the structural nature of anti-Shi'ism, as well as how we as Muslims can locate prison abolition in the Islamic tradition. 

An inspirational and topical discussion giving us an insight into the incredible work and radical politics of Hoda Katebi.
