About this episode
Faisal and Hamza Tzortzis discuss modern challenges for Muslims, the impact of AI, and living with intention.
Faisal sits down with Hamza Tzortzis for one of those conversations that starts with "bro you lost weight?"… and ends up deep in ḥikmah, the algorithm, tadabbur, and why modern Muslims are quietly outsourcing their brains to AI. Hamza breaks down: why "1/3 food, 1/3 water, 1/3 air" is a limit, not a target how hunger can be reframed as your body repairing itself his "B + C + D" framework for living with intention (and keeping everything Allāh-centric) why short-form content can't be your whole dā'wah strategy how the algorithm reshapes your morals without you noticing why natural beauty and Qur'anic beauty are antidotes to ego + modernity why "scientific miracles in the Qur'an" can be a trap, and the more robust approach he built (and wrote a whole PhD on) what Sapience Institute is doing behind the scenes, and the launch of Sapience Academy to train 10,000 intellectual ambassadors by 2030 If you've ever felt like the internet is making everyone louder, harsher, and dumber… this one will recalibrate you. 👉 GET TICKETS TO LIVE TOUR: https://fg.live 👉HIGH-LEVEL SOFTWARE: https://buy.stripe.com/aFa7sLcUR5dUdcHeKScMM0H 👉 Faisal's parenting seminar: https://parenting.faisal.live 👉…
