"Haven't they seen how we have diminished the earth from its edges?" This week's sacred text message focuses on this extraordinary verse from the 13th chapter of the Quran entitled Ra'd or Thunder. Though the geological realities of the verse are obvious for us today, the early masters of Quranic exegesis interpreted the diminishment of the earth as the passing of the great men and women of knowledge and piety. Listen to Shaykh Hamza as he delves deeper into this exposition with a eulogy on one of the greatest scholars and hidden gems of our time.
