In this episode of Re-Sight Islam, the final episode of Season1, Qasim and Salaam examine the life and the influence of the Prophet Mohammed's beloved wife, Ayesha.  Respected by the Prophet for her intelleigence, judgement and understanding of His teachings, she stands as a model of piety, truthfulness and strength for modern women throughout the world.  In telling her story, Qasim and Salaam are joined by Qasim's wife, Ayesha, to lend some authenticity that Salaam's falsetto could never accomplish!
 
Parental Advisory:  This episode deals with sensitive issues that may necessitate parental discretion and further discussion as we address topics of child marriage, adultery, rape and sexual abuse
 
This episode looks at why Islam requires PROOF and corroboration by truthful witnesses to accuse someone (man or woman) of unchaste behavior.  Qasim and Salaam take a deep dive into the relevance of Ayesha's life in an era of #metoo, victim shaming and false allegations of wrong doing.  Additionally, they take some time to set the record straight on the actual age of Ayesha when she was wed.
Qasim and Salaam address the importance of a well planned bathroom break on long trips, coffee's true origin and how Hajib was first meant to be embraced by men. They will help you see that there is no double standard when it comes to modesty and chastity, why there needs to be a face palm emoji in podcasts and explain why women always maintain bodily autonomy.
The team closes out this first successful season with a peek at what is planned for Season 2 (which should be launching in the next few weeks)!
Have a listen, and let's break bread together!
