In Episode 6—based on Chapter 6 of Islam in the Contemporary World: A New Narrative by Zafarullah Khan—we reflect on the pressing need for a new, revitalized understanding of Islam that speaks to today’s challenges. Khan argues that Islam’s core purpose—as a mercy and guide for humanity—has been obscured by rigid dogma, misinterpretation, and disengagement from the world. He critiques the lack of meaningful ijtehad and warns against asceticism, blind traditionalism, and the detachment from Islam’s ethical and humanitarian vision. This episode calls for Muslims to reclaim the spiritual and moral depth of Islam, embracing responsibility, knowledge, and social justice while remaining anchored in divine accountability.
