Episode 025 - Islamic Reminder Concerning Misattribution in Islam

In this episode of Ihya502, host Hamza Foy discusses the matter of misattributing made-up or innovated hadiths or knowledge of the Deen centered around a narration found in Sahih Bukhari about the consequences of intentionally misattributing something to the Prophet (SAW). This reminder, brief in its content, is intended to remind all of us about being careful about our sources when we learn our Deen, being cautious about sharing the floods of information that is found all over the internet, and overall thinking before one speaks [or shares in our modern cases]. ▬ Announcement  ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ 1.

Narrated Anas: "The fact which stops me from narrating a great number of Hadiths to you is that the Prophet (ﷺ) said: "Whoever tells a lie against me intentionally, then (surely) let him occupy his seat in Hell-fire."" [Sahih al-Bukhari 108] 2. Urwah' narrated that 'Aishah said: "The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) did not speak quickly like you do now, rather he would speak so clearly, unmistakably, that those who sat with him would memorize it."

Episode 024 - Reading between the Lines [ft. Mishkat Suleiman]

In this episode of Ihya502, Hamza Foy sits with Mishkat Suleiman to discuss the book 'Moral Capitalism: Why Fairness Won't Make Us Poor' by Steven Pearlstein. This book is an incredibly easy read for such a complex topic like economics and discusses a number of assumptions made by the general public in the United States about capitalism and our current economic system. We discuss a few of the more interesting and thought-provoking tidbits such as pre-distribution vs. re-distribution, the difference between our modern economy vs older and simpler economies, and the need for more education surrounding economics and macro-level mathematics. ▬ Relevant Links  ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ 1.
