Boys In The Cave

Shaykh Dr Asim Yusuf joins Boys in the Cave for a deep dive into Imam al Ghazali’s Ihya Ulum al Din, how to read it in our time, and how its spiritual psychology maps onto modern clinical insights. We cover decontextualizing and recontextualizing sacred texts, the metaphysics of eating, marriage and companionship, contentment in a consumer world, and why spirituality is the ruh of the religion. What you will learn • Why an Ihya commentary speaks to today’s seekers, and how to apply it, context first, then decontextualize, then recontextualize • Metaphysics of eating, turning sunlight into worship, tasbih into ibadah • Reading Book of Marriage through Book of Companionship for modern couples • A common good economy, contentment as a cure for hyper capitalism • Where Islamic and secular psychologies meet, origin, nature, purpose of the human • Why spirituality is not a niche, it is the breath of the deen If this episode benefits you, like, comment, and share.
