Journaling the Quran, Mothers Feeling Lonely, & Men NOT Filling Fatherly Role

Abir Safa is a poet, a writer, a mother and she is here to share major details about her relationship and journey with the Quran. You might read this and say what is there to know about the Quran that we didn’t already? I thought the same before having this conversation. The whole approach to reading the Quran changed and Abir explains it perfectly. We also talk about mothers and how lonely they are. We talk about husbands not fulfilling their fatherly role, and so much more.

Abir is truly an inspiration to all. I've had the honor of sitting with her multiple times and i always leave in awe reflecting on her strength and passions 🙏🏻 wishing her all the best in this life and the hereafter.

This is so beautiful. I had started reading Qur'an over a year ago, consistently. I decided to read from cover to cover and when I finish to start again. The purpose is to always read. But I've been taking my time. I have three young children, one is still a baby. So I find the time in between, or while nursing, to read and think over the verses. This podcast, really makes me feel as though I am on the right track, especially because I decided I would not rush myself even during the month of Ramadhan. I want understanding and to improve myself, and that takes time. Literally. Once I could only read about two verses and then I was thinking about them and that took half and hour.

Salam Jafar, I could watch Joe Rogan or some other podcast, but here I am during the month of Ramadhan listening to Sister Abir. Thank you for bringing these gems on your podcast. It's refreshing! You bring great members of the community, without the gossip, drama, and the nasty fitna that is infested in the community. God bless and reward the both of you.

[@podnotfromhere]

As an avid Joe Rogan listener myself, this comment means a lot. I appreciate it! Inshallah just the beginning.

[@aleenahaidari5075]

salam aleykum. This is incredible! truly! thank you sister Abir for your insightful and very clear conversation with brother Jaafar. It's also very helpful that this conversation is moderated by our brother and inshallah more brothers take note of these topics as it's not solely for women. May Allah swt bless you both. ameen

Not spreading hate but please check ex Ahmed Muslim as he educates Muslims about the Quran. I pray the truth is revealed to you.

[@saqi3586]

Don't you see dear fellow human being how ironic it is to tell a muslim, who usually reads and studies the Quran, that he should seek the advice of non-muslims to find out the truth of Quran?

[@AyeshaKhan-bi1fb]

Can you invite in your episode seyed Muhammad baqer al qazwini we really look forward to him

Inshallah!

The quality of voice was not good

[@podnotfromhere]

Apologies on that. Ran into a mic issue during recording this episode.

[@travellerme2401]

Allah sent us a "letter," that is LITERALLY cryptic and very hard to understand. Even the people who LIVED with your prophet had to go many times to ask him what some things meant. And yet, your contradictory quran says it is "a clear book," LOL, give me a break!!

"Deaf, dumb and blind"... So it'll be difficult for some to understand

[@travellerme2401]

@@naima1979 Can you please help a fellow muslim with the meaning of the verse "alif laam meem." Or maybe that's a bit too cryptic. How about the verse of the day of alastu: Quran 7:172.
