Summary: In this episode, the birds will be discussing the topic of Islam's relation to nihilism. They first discuss the common misconception of 'annihilation' within Islamic texts and how this leads to the misunderstanding of Islam's relation to the concept of 'nihilism'. They then discuss the dual concepts of 'fana' and 'baqa' and how they differ from notions of extinction or a 'will to nothingness' as referenced by Schopenhauer. Finally, the birds briefly touch on The Conference of the Birds and how such works are embedded with themes of hopelessness and brokenheartedness and their relation to Islamic conceptions of ascension.
