In this episode, we discuss Ahmet Taşgetiren’s powerful article “The Distance Between Us and the Standards,” which reflects on the profound disconnect between Muslims today and the values of mercy and compassion that the Qur’an and Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) embody. Taşgetiren explores the current state of the Islamic world, highlighting how far we have strayed from the foundational principles of Islam—principles that call for empathy, kindness, and selflessness. Through thought-provoking insights, we examine the urgent need to reconnect with these standards in order to heal both our communities and the world. Join us for a meaningful conversation on the importance of closing the gap between our actions and the values of Islam.
