The Prophetic Tradition in Modern Life: Culture, Ethics, and the Concerns of Youth in the Diaspora | Dr. Anas Sarmini | Atabat Podcast
Episode Description:
In today’s world, many forces compete to shape culture—television, theater, the internet, blogs—all vying to define the values and norms of society. Yet, the Prophetic Tradition (Sunnah) offers a living, practical application of the Qur’an, providing a foundation for true societal behavior.
How does the Sunnah influence cultural formation and societal regulation? What cultural values can we derive from the Hadith? And how can these teachings guide our youth, especially in the diaspora, where challenges to morality and identity abound?
This episode delves into critical questions, including:
How does the Sunnah foster ethical development in the face of moral decay in the diaspora?
What role does Hadith play in instilling confidence, pride in one’s identity, and a sense of belonging among youth of the “third culture”?
How can we build a value-based framework inspired by Prophetic ethics for our children?
What is the responsibility of educational and religious institutions in preserving these values?
We also explore practical insights, such as:
Books and resources to teach Hadith from a value-based perspective for children and youth in the diaspora.
The impact of Hadith studies on developing a stronger connection to one’s homeland and heritage.
Strategies to re-engage youth with the Prophetic Tradition in a meaningful way.
Join Dr. Anas Sarmini, a distinguished researcher in Arabic linguistics, as he answers these questions and more, guided by Dr. Ali Al-Khouli’s thoughtful moderation.
