What does it mean to build a Medina, and why are collective institutions so central to a strong and vibrant communal life? In this episode, we delve into the idea of a Medina and how establishing collective institutions can strengthen and sustain a thriving community. The discussion also reflects on the profound significance of the Qur’anic message, emphasising Islam’s deep concern for the world around us and its call for believers to live lives of purpose, impact, and meaningful contribution. Joining me for this conversation is Dr Sohail Hanif, CEO of the National Zakat Foundation and lecturer at Cambridge Muslim College, whose work focuses on Islamic law, theology, and communal development.
