﷽
Welcome to Episode Three of the Middle Ground Podcast. For this episode I’m joined again by brother Dawud Aleman. This will be the start of a multi-part series discussing the mind and mindset (or as we prefer, heart-set) and the need to cultivate virtues as believing men and women. As usual, we discuss all topics in light of the Qur’ān and statements from the Prophet, ﷺ.
Āyāt, aḥādīth, and other references in this episode:
Du’ā’ after prayer, collected in Riyāḍ al-Ṣālḥīn;
Sūrah al-Kahf, v. 63: “None made me forget it save for Satan”;
Sūrah al-Baqarah, v. 286: “O’ our Lord, do not punish us if we forget or make a mistake!”;
The reference to Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn was from The Rise and Triumph of the Modern Self: Cultural Amnesia, Expressive Individualism, and the Road to Sexual Revolution by Carl R. Trueman;
