## Resource

In this podcast, Meriem Ismail sits down for a conversation at another level with Islamic scholar Souhayl Maronesy, exploring what Islamic science adds to our understanding, why religious people are often labelled illogical, and whether a knowledgeable person should live in seclusion from society to become closer to Allah. They also discuss misconceptions about knowledgeable women and their chances of marriage, whether we are servants of the dunya or servants of Allah, and why a pessimistic outlook on life may be un-Islamic. But what makes someone a true scholar? And if you don’t know what Sharia is, this conversation offers an insight into it. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
