When Only God Can See: The Faith of Muslim Political Prisoners
"When Only God Can See: The Faith of Muslim Political Prisoners" by Dr. Walaa Quisay and Dr. Asim Qureshi is a powerful book that functions as both bearing witness to the oft-untold stories of Muslim political prisoners held in the horrors of Guantanamo Bay, Egypt, and other “black sites” of illegal imprisonment and torture, and as an exploration of Islamic spirituality in the “University of Yusuf” (‘alayhissalaam).
In this episode, Zainab bint Younus invites both authors of the book to share what it was like researching and writing the book, the spiritual challenges and empowerment of Muslim prisoners, and the vast systems of incarceration and torture between "Muslim" and Western countries. Spanning everything from powerful experiences of faith to critical examination of geopolitics, this episode will break your heart, intensify your faith, and strengthen your resolve to stand up for justice.
