﷽
Welcome to Episode Twenty of the Middle Ground Podcast. I am joined again by my brother Dawud Aleman. In this episode we discuss the increasingly toxic world we live in and the consequences as a society of being completely divorced from how our food and medicine is produced. As usual, we discuss all topics in light of the Qur’ān and statements from the Prophet, ﷺ.
This episode can also be found on YouTube as we are now live streaming all of our episodes there as well.
Other references in this episode:
* Sūrah al-Baqarah v. 11: “When they are told, ‘Do not spread corruption in the land,’ they reply, ‘We are only peace-makers!’”
* Sūrah al-Insān v. 8: “[They] and give food—despite their desire for it—to the poor, the orphan, and the captive.”
* Ṣaḥīḥ Muslim no. 2939: a ḥadīth which reminds us of the Dajjāl and the fake nature of food today.
* For more on how we developed into siloed communities, cut off from our food production, read Carolyn Steel’s very good Hungry City: How Food Shapes Our Lives.
* Dr. Rima Laibow – the Medical Director of the Natural Solutions Foundation – her talk on the Codex Alimentarius and its history and impact on our food and health systems.
