This podcast covers one of the most important debates in Islamic history – the Majlis-e-Khamsa. Sheikh Mustafa Gujarati (Rehmatullah Alaih) stood in Emperor Akbar’s court and defended the Mehdavi faith against the toughest scholars of the time. We’re breaking it all down: the challenging questions, Sheikh Mustafa’s clear and bold responses, and the larger story of Hazrat Syed Muhammad Jaunpuri (Alaihi Salam), the Promised Mehdi. You’ll hear about the beliefs of the Mehdavi community, the historical context of Akbar’s court, and why these debates still matter today. Want to dig deeper?
