About this listen

In Episode 17, we explore Zafarullah Khan’s reflections on how contemporary Muslims have fallen short of Islam’s vast potential for justice, tolerance, and peaceful coexistence. Taken from Islam in the Contemporary World: A New Narrative, this episode discusses how the lack of independent reasoning (ijtehad) has led to stagnation and moral decay in many Muslim societies. Khan draws on Quranic teachings, the Charter of Madina, and the actions of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) and Caliph Umar to show Islam’s commitment to protecting minorities and upholding justice for all. He contrasts this noble legacy with present-day injustices, including the mistreatment of minorities and the misuse of religion by some leaders. Join us as we revisit the true ethical foundations of Islam and explore a path toward renewal and moral integrity.
