180: Dawah Bros, Debate Culture & the Muslim Intellectual Crisis w. Ustadh Saad Yacoob

Why do so many Muslims feel intellectually insecure today?

In this episode, we are joined again by Ustadh Saad Yacoob to explore how the history of debate in the Muslim world, from the influence of Aristotle to the impact of colonialism, has shaped the way Muslims think, argue, and understand their faith today.
Together, we discuss righteousness, justice, revelation, the thought of Muhammad Iqbal, and why the modern culture of debate may reveal a deeper crisis: many Muslims have come to defend Islam on someone else's terms rather than their own.

Has modern debate brought Muslims closer to the truth? … or further away from it?
