Amaliah Surah Al-Kahf Playlist - Recitation II

Fri, 23 Apr 2021 12:33:53 GMT

Asalamualaikum and welcome to the Amaliah Surah Kahf playlist. Here you will find a series of recitations by Muslim women from around the world in an attempt to document, archive and celebrate the legacy of Muslim women reciting. We also hope this playlist encourages you to read and recite Surah Kahf on Fridays as the Prophet Muhammad (saw) said that “Whoever recites Surat al-Kahf on Friday will have a light between this Friday and the next”

The Quran has 7 different dialectical styles, and this series reflects some of them.

Our second reciter is Farah Elbakkali from Morocco. Farah has participated in many national and international Qur’ran competitions, including the Mohammed VI competition for the Memorisation and Recitation of the Holy Qur’an where she was awarded first place. You may notice that Farah’s recitation style is different to the last recitation we featured in the playlist. This is because Farah is reciting in the Warsh style, a method of recitation which is more common to countries in North Africa.

Thank you to all of those who submitted to our open call and to Ustada Rumaysa for her guidance during this project. To keep up to date with our work at Amaliah, you can find us on amaliah.com, @amaliah_com on Instagram and @amaliah_tweets on Twitter.

Fri, 30 Oct 2020 10:50:09 GMT

This week, Selina, Nafisa and Sara sit down for another 'Overrated/Underrated' session, and it works like this - the girls are challenged to each bring two subjects they'd like to unpack and debate as being either overrated or underrated and then leave it for our listeners to do the same!

This episode, we're talking about why the energy for Khabib can be problematic, the issue with projecting your opinion on fiqh, why we're now reading children's books instead, and Sara says goodbye to Amaliah...

And how are Muslim women getting ready for sex and intimacy?- In this episode of #smalltalkpodcast, Sara's talking all the taboos - porn, masturbation and the inhibition of female sexual pleasure with none other than @villageauntie, Angelica Lindsey-Ali.-Angelica is a U.S based certified sexual health educator and community scholar whose work over the span of 20 years has sought to challenge and unlock conversations around sex from a faith based perspective, catering to female pleasure.-Conversations on sex are often shrouded in taboos amongst the Muslim community, which may be a result of some clear parameters about what cannot take place between two Muslims before marriage, but what impact are misplaced taboos having on the development of a healthy sex life for Muslim couples, and more specifically how is it inhibiting the development of female pleasure?-Against the backdrop of Amaliah's Sex Ed Survey, Sara and Angelica discuss sex and female pleasure in the context of Islam as a sex positive religion.-If you enjoyed this episode and want to support our production visit amaliah.com/support-An Amaliah PodcastHosted and Produced by Sara Amin - Music by @iamryanlittle - Soundcloud, Apple Music and Spotify
