## Resource

Who was Abdullah Ibn Saba — and why has his name been buried in Islamic history? In this episode, we explore a mysterious and controversial figure tied to some of the deepest ideas in Islam, from the hidden meanings behind divine law to the concept of inner truth (Batin) versus outer form (Zahir). Through the lens of early history, the Ten Commandments, and esoteric teachings, a bigger question begins to emerge: is there a deeper reality within religion that most people never see? And if so… what happens to those who uncover it?
