About this episode

The Digital Age has provided unprecedented convenience in communication and information sharing; it has also allowed for critics and self-proclaimed experts to share their unsolicited opinions and rebukes without censor or recourse. What do our sacred texts say about the rules of criticism and argumentation? God reminds us in the Quran: "Say, ‘How can those who know be equal to those who do not know?’ Only those who have understanding will take heed." In this episode, Shaykh Hamza discusses the modern phenomenon of public attacks and criticism and its poisonous effect on society.

About the Sacred Text Messages podcast:

The Sacred Text Messages podcast with Shaykh Hamza Yusuf provides an antidote to the modern madness by reconnecting us with God and His Messenger ﷺ. Listen to timeless wisdoms from sacred sources and rediscover Truth, Goodness, and Beauty.
