Creating an Emotional attachment to God ...

After Maghrib
About this episode

Are Shi'a too emotional and not truly knowledgeable? Do we let emotion cloud judgement and do we understand how to seek 'ilm from the Quran and Ahlulbayt (as)? In this penultimate episode of season 2, Ahmed and Sayed Ali welcome Sheikh Mahdi Rastani, who explores the theme of culture and emotion through the lens of seeking religious wisdom. We explore how and what we choose to learn, and where our communities can make adjustments to the work they do. This one was thought-provoking and applies to all ages - get listening now!
