Have Muslims Become Orientalists? w/ Sh.Numan Attique | Ruh Revival

Assalamu alaikum and welcome back to Episode 4 of Ruh Revival, a podcast brought to you by the McMaster MSA! In this episode we are joined by Sheikh Numan Attique, dawah and shariah alim and imam of the Muslim Association of Hamilton. Sh. Numan helps us explore a difficult question: have Muslims become Orientalists? When we pit Islam against ‘the West’, do we discredit our own beliefs and tradition? How do we protect our iman while deeply invested in secular educational institutions? Is it dangerous to study social sciences and humanities? Join us in this episode as we explore these topics and more inshaAllah!
