MISK Women

Left or Right? The Straight Path Please is a religion podcast hosted by MISK Women. It has 14 episodes, with the latest published July 2020.

This podcast is based on a series of face-to-face and online lectures presented to Muslim women with the goal of developing competence in understanding and navigating our way through the social, cultural and political challenges of our contemporary times.By looking at the world through the Straight Path metaphor, we engage with contemporary right wing (status quo) and left wing (conflict theory) ideologies to understand, analyse and critique them from their origins and development into their current forms. We take a critical approach to BOTH conservative and Marxist-based theories, with a particular focus on neo-conservatism, neo-colonialism, feminism and gender-related issues, the impact these ideologies are having on Muslim women and societies today and how to overcome the many challenges we face personally, in our families and in the wider community.We also present a complementary podcast on textual competency - Imam al-Ghazali's Beginning of Guidance (Bidayat al-Hidayat) for Musl
