In Episode 10, we explore how Islam views the relationship between the material and spiritual realms. Based on Chapter 10 of Zafarullah Khan’s Islam in the Contemporary World: A New Narrative, this episode critiques modern misinterpretations that promote asceticism and detachment from the world. Khan calls for a reintegration of faith and worldly engagement—arguing that true Islam does not reject the world but encourages a balanced life guided by remembrance of Allah. We discuss the Islamic principle of Tawheed (Unity) and its application in harmonizing spiritual beliefs with everyday action, challenging the false dichotomy between religious devotion and material success.
