A believer abstains from food and drink in the daylight hours to commit themselves to Allah. We draw closer to him through worships and good deeds and this is a month of charity. Muslims give more in this month than any other time in the year, hoping that our sincerity reaches Allah and in the process he overlooks our failings.</p><p><br></p><p>But in many ways Ramadan stands as a denunciation of capitalism, the insatiable wants, greed, selfishness and gluttony. It teaches us to focus on what is important – family, ummah, justice and of course our own salvation. This is the argument of Imam Tom Facchine, who joins us today. Imam Tom Facchine is research director at Yaqeen institution.</p><p><br></p><p>You can find Yaqeen Institute here:</p><p>X: https://x.com/yaqeeninstitute</p><p>IG: https://www.instagram.com/yaqeeninstitute?</p><p><br></p><p>To donate to Baitul Maal's Critical Aid campaign, please visit Donate at http://btml.us/thinkingmuslim - Please do remember that charity never reduces our risk and gives Barakah to our wealth.</p><p><br></p><p>Let me remind all viewers that to help us continue to engage critical thought at this time, Please consider becoming a Member: https://www.thinkingmuslim.com/members</p><p><br></p><p>You can also support The Thinking Muslim through a one-time donation: https://www.thinkingmuslim.com/Donate</p><p><br></p><p>Listen to the audio version of the podcast:</p><p>Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/7vXiAjVFnhNI3T9Gkw636a</p><p><br></p><p>Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/the-thinking-muslim/id1471798762</p><p><br></p><p>Sign up to Muhammad Jalal's newsletter: https://jalalayn.substack.com</p><p><br></p><p>Purchase our Thinking Muslim mug: https://www.thinkingmuslim.com/merch</p><p><br></p><p>Find us on:</p><p><br></p><p>Squarespace: https://www.thinkingmuslim.com/membership</p><p><br></p><p>Patron. https://www.patreon.com/TheThinkingMuslim</p><p><br></p><p>Twitter: https://twitter.com/thinking_muslim</p><p><br></p><p>Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/The-Thinking-Muslim-Podcast-105790781361490</p><p><br></p><p>Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thinkingmuslimpodcast/</p><p><br></p><p>Telegram: https://t.me/thinkingmuslim</p><p><br></p><p>BlueSky: https://bsky.app/profile/thinkingmuslim.bsky.social</p><p><br></p><p>Host: https://twitter.com/jalalayn</p><p><br></p><p>Host IG: https://www.instagram.com/jalalayns/</p><p><br></p><p>Website Archive: https://www.thinkingmuslim.com</p>","author_name":"Muhammad Jalal"}
