Islam wants us to believe with the entirety of our hearts through reason, logic, and questions. It is not from the Islamic tradition to shun those that question their faith. Rather, it is a welcomed feat. How do we construct our belief in God? Should we question our faith? How do I know if Islam is the truth? In this episode, Nihal met with Shaykh Hamza Karamali of Basira Education in Istanbul. They spoke about the above topics, as well as how the modern era challenges the ability of many people to believe in Islam, and how we can go about filling in those gaps. Our guest spoke about how belief is nurtured in the Muslim community, how materialism causes us to confuse the "how" of something with the "why," how intellect, debate, and reason lead to belief, and more.
