About this episode

A discussion on the significance of the Awaited Imam during Ramadan and the implications of doubts about his existence.

As we approach the Nights of Qadr, we sit down with Sadiq Damani for a powerful and thought-provoking discussion on the centrality of the Awaited Imam in our understanding of Ramadan. Moving beyond surface-level ritual, we explore how Laylatul Qadr, the Qur’an, and divine decree are inseparable from the living Imam of our time. Why are doubts emerging about his existence? How do classical scholars rationally prove his birth and ongoing presence? And most importantly — what does this mean for us the morning after Qadr? A deep dive into conviction, responsibility, and reconnecting with the Imam’s mission.
