The Mohamed Ghilan Podcast – Détails, épisodes et analyse

Ramadan is a special time of the year in which we as Muslims engage in an act of worship that's like no other. In contrast to all other acts of worship, fasting is an intimate act that cannot be witnessed or confirmed by anyone other than Allah. It's a secret between the servant and their Lord. Being granted permission by Allah to engage in this intimate act of drawing nearer to Him should bring us all to a pause to reflect on what that means in terms of our status with Allah.

As Muslims have become increasingly integrated into social justice movements and the entertainment industry, many prominent figures are taking actions that align with the dominant ideology in these spheres. Despite their apparent unrelatedness, a common theme runs through Muslim hijabi Instagram influencers taking off their hijabs, comedians mocking Islamic practices like the dua, and political allegiances made in the name of combating Islamophobia.

In this episode, the distinction made by the late Algerian sociologist and philosopher Malek Bennabi between aesthetic and moral sensibilities as they manifest in the lived experience of the Western European and the Muslim is used as a framework to understand the current trends observed among Muslims in the West.

The Illumination in Dropping the Measure is a text by Sidi ibn 'Atā-illah in which he expounds on the belief in the Divine Decree. In a way, it can be viewed as a commentary on the Hadith of ibn 'Abbās RA where the Beloved ﷺ affirms for him that what is written will pass, regardless of what the entire world tries to do.

This is the second text we cover for Sidi ibn 'Atā-illah after having completed his Hikam (aphorisms). In this episode I share the audio recording of one of our live weekly sessions at Al-Andalus Halaqa where I present a translation and commentary on this important work. Here, we read the section covering the ten ways the knowers of Allah are able to be patient and remain tranquil in the face of afflictions.

Lady Khadijah RA was the first and while alive the only wife of the Beloved ﷺ. Their relationship was of immense significance and the love the Beloved ﷺ had for her did not diminish with her passing. Lady Aisha RA said she was never jealous of any of the wives of the Beloved ﷺ as she was of Lady Khadijah RA despite having never met her.

In this episode are highlights about Lady Khadijah RA and lessons to be drawn from her marriage and relationship with the Beloved ﷺ.

The closing track is titled Natawassal bil Hubaba, which means we seek an intercession by the beloved woman, and it's in reference to our mother Lady Khadija RA.

What is toxic masculinity? And how does it manifest in marriages and intimacy? How did the social conditioning of men lead to this?

The relationship dynamic between the teacher and student, the religious leadership and community, between parents and their children, or even between spouses can fall into spiritually toxic patterns. The challenge is in knowing when spirituality becomes a weapon of abuse as opposed to a path to connecting with God.

Topics addressed in this episode include the nature of abuse, how spiritual abuse can be identified, what are the parameters of a spiritually healthy vs a spiritually abusive leadership, and how to know when a teacher is not helping you establish your relationship with the Divine.
