About this listen

In Episode 20, we conclude the series with a powerful reflection on what it means to live as a Muslim in today’s diverse and complex world. Drawing from Zafarullah Khan’s Islam in the Contemporary World: A New Narrative, this episode explores how Islam’s core principles—peace, justice, and compassion—can be reinterpreted and practiced in pluralistic societies. Khan critiques the fixation on outdated jurisprudence and literal readings of scripture, advocating instead for Dawah through peaceful engagement, loyal citizenship, and a firm commitment to the public interest. Through an analysis of Quranic verses and classical thought, he calls for a bold, context-aware approach to Islamic living—one that bridges the gap between tradition and modernity without compromising spiritual integrity.
