Soul Bytes Ep 1: Feeling the Ramad
<p>In the first episode of our new, more laid-back and freeform series, Soul Bytes, we reflect on our spiritual struggles and mindset shift during what was the busiest Ramadan ever for us. We explore how our relationship with tawakkul ebbs and flows and the constant rat-race against the limited time we had for Ibadah and our responsibilities.</p>

Episode 10: Jihad al-Nafs (The Struggle of the Self)
<p>As we enter Ramadan, our thoughts are occupied with how we can improve ourselves to get closer to God. How can we learn about "the self" to understand our relationship with God? We explore these concepts in this episode. First, we break down the term Jihad al-Nafs and explore an Islamic philosopher's (Mulla Sadra) perspective on this matter. Then, we delve into our struggles when engaging in Jihad al-Nafs, what we have learned over time and the importance of centering the Muslim community in our actions.</p>

Episode 9: Islam and AI
<p>AI is almost all we talk about in our major, Cognitive Science, so we decided to explore it in this episode. First, we give a debriefing on the basics of AI and it’s history such as what it means for AI to be intelligent. Then we entertain potential sci-fi possibilities such as transhumanism and The Singularity. And as always, we integrate the Islamic perspective on AI, exploring its ethicality and the potential impacts it can have on our Muslim community.</p>
