About this listen

The Still Point offers short reflections on the Qur'an, the spiritual path of the Prophet of Islam, and calming prayers for people seeking clarity, rest, and direction. Each episode explores a verse, a word, a prayer, or a theme in simple English with the beauty of the Arabic preserved.

Episodes are short (usually under ten minutes) and designed for quiet moments — after Fajr, during a commute, or before sleep.

The goal is not lectures, but reflection: one idea, one verse, one turning of the heart.

  • Why Does God Keep Calling Himself Merciful? | Al-Fātiḥah 2/5

    Why Does God Keep Calling Himself Merciful? | Al-Fātiḥah 2/5
    Apr 4 2026

    Whether you have read the Quran or not, whether you have ever stepped inside a mosque or not, this book opens the same way every time. Before any commandment, before any story, before any law, it says two words. Both of them mean mercy. Both of them come from the same Arabic root: Raḥm, a mother's womb.

    In this episode, we explore why God chose this exact image to introduce Himself, why He repeats these two names twice in just seven verses, and what the difference is between Ar-Raḥmān (the mercy that covers everything in existence) and Ar-Raḥīm (the mercy that meets you personally when you turn toward Him).

  • What Does Rabb Really Mean? | Surah Al-Fātiḥah

    What Does Rabb Really Mean? | Surah Al-Fātiḥah
    Mar 14 2026

    We spend so much of our days rushing. Look at the tired faces on the train, or watch the cars sitting in heavy traffic. We constantly check our phones, reply to endless messages, and worry about what tomorrow will bring. It is not just the tiredness you feel after a long walk or a hard day of work. It is a deep, quiet tiredness in our minds and our hearts. In this episode, we explore the word رَبِّ (Rabbi) from Surah Al-Fātiḥah — a word usually translated as "Lord," but whose Arabic roots reveal something far more intimate: a Nurturer who raises, grows, and cares for His creation with patience and love.
