ʿAqīdah (Creed) Should Lead to Compassion
About this episode
In this episode, Imam Marc Manley discusses the importance of ʿaqīdah in shaping character and shares a personal anecdote from a hospital visit.
﷽ Welcome to Episode 45 of the Middle Ground Podcast. For this episode I’m sharing an excerpt from my Saturday class on ʿaqīdah , otherwise known as “creed”; i.e., the things we Muslims must believe in and things we must reject . But the study of ʿaqīdah is much more than a list of do’s and don’ts. It should ultimately impact our character as well. I share a anecdote of a lesson I recently learned while visiting my 92-year-old father in the hospital. Imam’s Corner is a reader-supported publication.
