Left or Right? The Straight Path Please

• We conclude our discussion on ideologies by looking at what they actually do...
• Our journey into the Qur'an begins by discussing its definition.
• We start to establish the foundations for building our Islamic worldview based on the meanings and explanation of Surah al-Fatihah.

Please go to miskwomen on Instagram for comments, questions, further discussion and references for the books used in the podcast.

• The definition of theory and ideology.
• When does theory become ideology?
• The importance of understanding these core concepts in order to comprehend our contemporary world context.

Ok-now we are getting into it! How are certain realities in certain contexts conceptualized, what concepts and ideas are interpretive frameworks developed from and what does one 'see' in that context when they are applied?

Welcome to MISK Women's series in contextual competence! We study the modern world, its dominant theories and ideologies and how to analyse and critique them from a traditional Islamic perspective that is grounded in the Qur'anic Straight Path metaphor.

Today we introduce the series, the main topics and concepts and discuss why this approach is important for Muslim women striving to understand the world and how to navigate through it without compromising their faith and practice.
