The Inner Dimensions of Fasting (Part 5 of 5)

The Mohamed Ghilan Podcast ·

2026/02/18

Fasting is a practice that according to the Quran has been prescribed upon Muslims as it has been prescribed upon those who have come before. At the external superficial level, it's described as the abstaining from eating, drinking, and having intimate sexual relations from the break of dawn until sunset. However, there is much more to this practice that one must be mindful off lest they risk being included in the Hadith stating that many who fast get nothing from it other than hunger and thirst

2025/11/30

Patience and gratitude are the two wings of belief/faith. They also are derived from two of the 99 Names of Allah. Without them, one cannot attain the reality of belief, and gain access to understanding Divine Attributes. Imam Al-Ghazali dedicated a chapter in his magnum opus The Revival of the Religious Sciences to patience and gratitude. Dr Mohamed Ghilan goes through a selected readings from this chapter, with translation and commentary as part of his ongoing work to make the tradition accessible

The Prayer of Illumination

The Mohamed Ghilan Podcast ·

2025/11/09

The Prayer of Illumination, the final chapter of The Book of Illumination by Ibn ʿAta'illah al-Iskandari, is a whispered invocation from the heart of surrender. In this episode, Dr. Mohamed Ghilan reads this timeless supplication aloud, inviting listeners into a moment of stillness, reflection, and intimacy with the Divine. This prayer gathers the essence of the path: relinquishing self-management, entrusting all affairs to Allah, and finding peace in His decree. It is a call to love, humility, and

The Covenant of Surrender

2025/11/01

In this episode, Dr. Mohamed Ghilan presents the first of two concluding sessions from The Book of Illumination (Kitāb al-Tanwīr) by Ibn ʿAṭā' Allāh al-Iskandarī. This final section of the text is framed as a divine dialogue — an intimate conversation between Allah and His servant — in which the illusions of control, planning, and self-reliance are dissolved in the light of tawḥīd. The discussion explores what it means to surrender the will, to find sufficiency in God's care, and to live with the

Ramadan is a Proof Against Us

The Mohamed Ghilan Podcast ·

2025/04/02

Ramadan is a time in which we exercise our agency in a way unlike the rest of the year. We approach it with deliberate intent, set goals, reorient ourselves and rearrange our priorities to make our relationship with Allah our primary concern. In a way, we're establishing a proof against ourselves, demonstrating our capacity to choose Allah over dunya. The question we should ponder on is how can we exercise this agency in an effective way against the pulls of our lower self. Join Al-Andalus Academy

Post Ramadan Reflections

The Mohamed Ghilan Podcast ·

2024/04/12

Ramadan is a special time of the year in which we as Muslims engage in an act of worship that's like no other. In contrast to all other acts of worship, fasting is an intimate act that cannot be witnessed or confirmed by anyone other than Allah. It's a secret between the servant and their Lord. Being granted permission by Allah to engage in this intimate act of drawing nearer to Him should bring us all to a pause to reflect on what that means in terms of our status with Allah.

Imanophobia and the Adoption of Aesthetic Sensibility...

The Mohamed Ghilan Podcast ·

2024/03/24

As Muslims have become increasingly integrated into social justice movements and the entertainment industry, many prominent figures are taking actions that align with the dominant ideology in these spheres. Despite their apparent unrelatedness, a common theme runs through Muslim hijabi Instagram influencers taking off their hijabs, comedians mocking Islamic practices like the dua, and political allegiances made in the name of combating Islamophobia. In this episode, the distinction made by the late

Jerusalem is Worth Nothing…and Everything!

2024/02/05

What is Jerusalem worth? What kind of attachment does being a Muslim entail to the Holy Land? The recent announcement from U.S. President Donald Trump that recognizes Jerusalem as the official capital of Israel has created massive outcries and lamentations over the grim prospects for peace. However, from a spiritual and Quranic standpoint, much good has come out from this announcement. We just need to have the right perspective to see it. Topics discussed in this episode include the status of

Moral Clarity in the Fog of War

2023/10/28

At the time of recording this episode, Gaza has been undergoing an assault by the Zionist colonizer entity that can only be described as a genocide. The attacks on Gaza come as a response, we're told by the Zionists, to an operation carried out by the Resistance on October 7th, 2023. The official narrative of the events on that day has been constructed by the Zionist colonizer and adopted by the mainstream, including Muslims in the West. However, this narrative is not corroborated by the publicly

The Illusion of Controlling Destiny

2023/08/24

This episode is a sneak peak into our weekly live sessions at Al-Andalus Academy's Halaqa series where we're currently engaging in the study of Sidi ibn 'Atā-illah's Kitab at-Tanwīr (The Book of Illumination). In this session, wel delve into three reasons that should compel us to dropping the measure alongside Allah ﷻ. These revolve around the understanding that our attachment to the measure is borne out of an illusion that not only do we have control over our outcomes for ourselves, but also that
