Description
What does it mean to live a meaningful life in a world increasingly shaped by material concerns? And how does an awareness of the afterlife influence the way we understand purpose, responsibility and the human condition?
In this special conversation, Shaykh Muhammad al-Yaqoubi explores the relationship between the material and spiritual dimensions of existence, drawing on the rich wisdom of the Islamic tradition.
Reflecting on faith, mortality, the soul and the search for meaning, the discussion invites audiences to consider life not as an isolated journey, but as part of a larger spiritual reality that extends beyond the visible world.
