Juz’ 9 with Dr. Jihad Saafir | Qur’an 30 for 30 Season 3

Of the many lessons in juz 9 of the Holy Qur’an, one crucial one is that we come to an understanding about the nature of revelation: it is only through understanding and accepting revelation that we find purpose, understanding, and the essence of life itself. Belief, like fasting, protects and shelters us from the trials of life. Dr. Jihad Saafir joins Sh. Abdullah Oduro and Dr. Omar Suleiman to reflect on these themes found in Surahs Al-Araf and Al-Anfal.
