We release episode 5 with a heavy heart. Our hosts, Abbas & Naqi, had the honor and privilege to have Moulana Syed Asad Jafri as one of our guests prior to his passing. We held off posting this episode due to the current situation in Palestine and his untimely and devastating death. We feel as though this is now a good time to release this episode as the hosts and the Syed had a great discussion surrounding poetry in Islam and how to integrate English culture into our majalis. We feel his eloquent words would benefit everyone. Please recite a Surah Fateha for our beloved Moulana and remember his family in your prayers.
