Are Non-Practicing Muslims Doing Islām Better Than Those That Do?

About this episode

This episode discusses the controversial notion that non-practicing Muslims may be perceived as practicing Islam better than those who actively engage in religious practices.

﷽ Welcome to Episode 46 of the Middle Ground Podcast. In this episode I want to discuss a new (and disturbing) trend I’ve noticed in the social media landscape, namely Muslims making videos in which they claim the non-practicing Muslims are somehow actually “doing Islām more” than those who do. Can this be true? You can listen to the audio podcast or watch the video below. Imam’s Corner is a reader-supported publication.
