“Mashallah this is perhaps the smartest Islamic podcast channel I am aware of. Brother Ghilan is a great example of how a Muslim scholar should be in the modern age. Doubled winged, that is, one wing in traditional Islamic sciences and another wing in modern sciences. As a Phd student at a leading American university, I look to him as a great role model. His topics and discussions are well informed and seeks answers to questions perplexing Muslims living in modern times. Of course he cannot answer all of these questions -if he or somebody else could then things would have been much easier for the ummah and we could have overcome the crisis overcoming us- but asking the right questions and having intelligent debates about them is the first step towards finding answers in the long run, which will be done collectively rather than by a single scholar. I pray that he keeps up with the great work he has been doing. I have one humble request. I wish Dr Ghilan shares all his recorded talks such as the videos he has on YouTube or Al Andalus book club here. This would make it easier for us to follow all his work. I know that that Al Andalus is subscription based but for non-subscribers it would be good to have access to its content even if this comes with a time lag. Not all of us can commit to subscribe for the regular program now but we will be happy to be able to listen his book discussions when we find free time.”
