Description

Season 2 - Episode 28 - The Best of Planners - We've all done it.  We think we are in control of our destiny - we have our own plan all laid out, scheduled down to the last minute, and then... life happens and the plan we had goes right out the window.  But sometimes - sometimes - we need to step aside and let someone with a better plan take the lead.
In this episode, Qasim and Salaam bring the second season to a close as they close in on the Meccan plot to kill Muhammad and the Prophet's escape and migration to Medina and into the welcoming arms of his followers.  You will hear how placing your trust in God, especially when you are not sure of your options, is often the best path to take.
Find out: What you do when assassins are, literally, at your door?  How do you hide behind a spider's web?  Why is Salaam so excited about the "Prancing Pony"?  What is Qasim's definition of a "Muslim Buzz Kill"?  What was the song to welcome the Prophet when he finally joined his people? To find out the answers to these questions, download and take a listen!
*** Special Bonus Track - at the end of today's podcast is an excellent version of the song that welcomed the Prophet to Medina.  We have shared the lyrics here and you can listen to it separately on YouTube by following this link.
Tala Al Badru Alayna
-sung by Yusuf Islam
Tala'al-Badru 'alayna,
min thaniyyatil-Wada'
wajaba al-shukru 'alayna,
ma da'a lillahi da'
O the White Moon rose over us
From the Valley of Wada'
And we owe it to show gratefulness
Where the call is to Allah
Ayyuha al-mab'uthu fina
ji'ta bi-al-amri al-muta'
Ji'ta sharrafta al-Madinah
marhaban ya khayra da'
O you who were raised amongst us
coming with a work to be obeyed
You have brought to this city nobleness
Welcome! best call to God's way
Tala'al-Badru 'alayna,
min thaniyyatil-Wada'
wajaba al-shukru 'alayna,
ma da'a lillahi da'

Welcome to Re-Sight Islam, a weekly podcast presented by The Religion News Foundation. I am your host Salaam Bhatti. In this podcast we shed light on a world that politicians, pundits and preachers ignore. Here we take a second look at Islam. A look without the taboos of asking the ‘wrong question,’ but instead a frank dialogue that opens minds and fosters understanding through stories and interviews. So, join me as we have some fun learning about what unites us as we Re-Sight Islam.
