Halaqa with Imam Adéyínká "Muhammad" Mendes | The Book of Assistance | 11.7.2022

Author: NYU Islamic Center December 16, 2022 Duration: 1:24:57
In this special halaqa, Imam Adéyínká "Muhammad" Mendes guides us on an inner exploration of the self, reminding us that without knowledge of the self, we cannot know God. He encouraged us to quietly reflect and recognize the beauty and light emanating from ourselves and from all of creation. He also shares his insights into the works of three great imams: Al-Haddad, Al-Ghazali, and Suyuti (may Allah have mercy on them all). These giants of Islamic scholarships continue to speak to us through their perceptive and heartfelt writings, which touch the very core of our identities as Muslims—individually and collectively.

Stepping into the vibrant, often complex world of a university student can raise profound questions about faith, identity, and purpose. The NYU Islamic Center Podcasts, presented by the Islamic Center at New York University, creates a thoughtful space to explore these intersections. Rather than offering simple answers, these conversations delve into the rich tapestry of Islamic thought, connecting timeless spiritual knowledge with the realities of contemporary life. You'll hear discussions that feel both grounded and immediate, where scholars, community leaders, and students themselves reflect on how faith informs everything from personal ethics to engaging with current events. This isn't a lecture series, but a dynamic dialogue meant to accompany you. Each episode invites reflection, offering perspectives that are both intellectually rigorous and deeply personal, all stemming from the unique environment of NYU's diverse community. Tune into this podcast for a sincere and nuanced exploration of spirituality that acknowledges the questions of modern life while drawing from a well of ancient wisdom.
