The Noor Podcast #8 - Zahra Makki - “Let’s get uncomfortable.”

In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful,
Why should we get uncomfortable? The journey of inner knowledge, development and growth will only occur outside of the comfort zone.
In this podcast Zahra Makki gives us a look through her lens as a philosophy postgrad and an Islamic studies student.
She explains beautifully how struggle is the medicine and how pushing through is an element of self refinement. That even if we don’t have all the answers, we should still commit to our faith and seek for them in the mean time.
Zahra touches on subjects like the self centered approach we tend to have towards our religion nowadays and how we should differentiate between doubt, ignorance and lack of knowledge. Why we should keep asking questions and reflect.
Tune in on Spotify or KZbin to hear this insightful podcast about the intersection of Islam and philosophy. After all: “Allah swt. Is not worshipped by anything greater than the intellect, so lets not separate the two.”

In de naam van Allah, de Barmhartige, de Genadevolle,
Waarom moeten we uit de comfort zone? De reis naar innerlijke kennis, ontwikkeling en groei zal alleen daar te vinden zijn.
In deze podcast geeft Zahra Makki ons een kijkje door haar bril als afgestudeerde van filosofie en als studente Islamitische studie.
Ze legt op een prachtige manier uit hoe strugglen het medicijn is en hoe doorzetten onderdeel is van zelfverfijning. Dat we moeten vasthouden aan ons geloof, ook wanneer we niet alle antwoorden hebben en juist naar hen op zoek moeten gaan in de tussentijd.
Zahra behandelt ook onderwerpen zoals de egocentrische benadering die we tegenwoordig vaak hebben ten opzichte van religie en hoe we onderscheid moeten maken tussen twijfel, onwetendheid en gebrek aan kennis. Waarom we vragen moeten blijven stellen en moeten reflecteren.
Zet snel deze podcast op via KZbin of Spotify om te horen over het snijvlak van Islam en filosofie. Immers: “Allah swt. Wordt door niets aanbeden groter dan het intellect, dus laten we de twee niet scheiden.”

Thank you very much for bringing this podcast. I come from a trans-Himalayan region of Ladakh, India. I have been living since 4 years in Germany and doing my PhD. I am near about to complete my PhD and I have decided that I will go back to my hometown. As a Shia Muslim, I released that staying in Europe is the toughest thing due their individualistic culture and less social interactions with people. Of course, there is good standard of living and better opportunities, but I cannot sacrifice my social life, people, religion, and culture over European culture.

she is right "just because your great at something, doesnt mean you have to pursue it." Im glad someone said this, people need to wake up and be realistic with themselves. Same with, just because you like something, doesnt mean you will be good doing that.
