Episode 191. The Ups and Downs of Life Throughout life moments of both extreme happiness and extreme sadness will become apparent. The times when we go through the "downs" of life, it is easy to question yourself, those around you, and, God forbid, even God. This episode of Faith in Focus will discuss the ways in which humans have dealt with these moments and how Islam teaches to deal either of them.

Episode 4. We will explore the clashes between culture and religion which lead to misconceptions about Islam and women’s rights. We’ll distinguish between the culture/politics of Islamic Republics and the true religious teachings of Islam as set out in the Holy Quran by comparing the oppressive laws of some countries in the name of Sharia Law, with the actual rights bestowed upon women in the Holy Qur’an by Allah Almighty. We’ll mention how in many cases, law itself evolves from religion and morality. Through doing so we’ll seek to combat the critiques of those who describe religious doctrine as outdated and instead prove that the Holy Qur’an is a scripture for all times.

Episode 69. Theory of Knowledge. Part I How Do We Know? The main question in Theory of Knowledge is “How do we know?” and thus we naturally spend some time talking about the nature of knowledge. In the first part of this series, we ask ourselves: What is knowledge? How does knowledge differ from belief? What is the difference between knowledge, information and wisdom? More importantly, what are the ways of knowing? In Theory of Knowledge, there are four ways of knowing, which we would like to explore here perception, language, reason and emotion. If we take any one thing that claim to know and we ask ourselves how we know it, we could potentially trace it back to one of these four sources: either we saw it, heard it or we read it, we reasoned through it or we have an instinctive feeling that it is true. Of course, none of these ways are infallible and are in many ways a double edged in that they can be a source and an obstacle to it. In the first of this series, we take a look at each of these knowledge tools and consider the extent to which they can be relied on to make sense of the world.
