The Shape of Faith

College Days, Deep Partnership and the Oneness of God: Reminiscing and Growing with Saara Hafeez and Samir Malik

Episode Summary

"It was when I got to college that things started to seem a lot less shiny when it came to the faith." "I was disengaged, unaware, aloof- all those things with regards to other faiths. Maybe privileged is the right word. I was privileged to be in an environment where faith wasn't a discussion point." "Growing up, you could only access Islam through Arabic...We've chosen to look beyond the Arabic and look into the English so that we can actually understand what's in the faith and try to bring it home a little more." "The pull has always been strong to God." "We do not preoccupy ourselves with material things because that means you're worshipping material things...We only worship God." "One thing that I really like is the coherence and the harmony of faith and science." Art Direction and Design by Molly Keene Music by Yakov Fleischmann
