the worst part of this podcast is that it ends
As a non-Muslim, this is an absolutely incredible watch. Thank you KJ and Shahril.
As a Christian from Singapore, I truly appreciate this episode as I have learnt so much from this. Thank you Dr Afifi🙏 and a shout out to KJ and Shahril 🙏
This is a rare discussion pertaining to Imam al-Ghazali. Indeed he is a gem for the ummah
Am a Tunisian 🇹🇳 .... Just discovered u guys channel... Since you guys are former politicians in Malaysia I would like to see u guys talk about capitalism and liberalism ... In my head is the true enemy of our ummah ... We Muslims didn't define the true desease that hit our community and the world ... I would love to see you guys take this subject and put it in the table with ur quests .... Am happy that i saw you guys and i admire your work
Please invite, Prof Muhd. Naquib Al Attas and his son Dr. Ali Tawfiq Al-Attas
Prof SMN al-Attas susah la sikit nak dapat. Dr Syed Ali Tawfik ok. KJ dan SH bersedialah mana tahu kalau kena teguran pedas 😂
Wow, illuminating talk and really enjoy listening to dr afifi
I had the honor of serving him before. He is not just a knowledgeable figure but also someone who exudes warmth and approachability. He's the kind of person you can have deep conversations with over a cup of tea, and his humility shines through in every interaction
As a religious student myself I wonder how KJ and Bro. Shahril handle this discussion, they both really knowledgeable and gave really good questions. I also ashamed myself cause not studying harder. Kudos, to KJ and Bro. Shahril
Next , Syed Muhiyuddin Al Attas, Sheikh Abdal Hakim Murad, Prof Zainy Uthman, Sheikh Hamzah Yusuf, Dr Ali Ataie, Syeikh Yasir Qadhi, Hassan Spiker, Dr Fahmy Zarkasy, Dr Adi Setia, Sami Hamdi, Dr Shoib Malik, Dr Ramon Harvey etc
Sheikh Hamza Yusuf best tu
Daniel Haqiqatjou and Mohammed Hijab
Nazirudin Mohd Nasir Mufti of Singapore an Oxford Fellow Ustaz Mizi Wahid
Hear hear
Dr Yasir Qadhi is the best one for me. His lectures on Seerah of the Prophet Muhammad SAW is arguably the most comprehensive, insightful and the finest for English speakers worldwide. Also he came from Sheikhul Islam Ibn Taymiyyah paradigm which is considered an antithesis to Hujjatul Islam Imam Al Ghazali. It will be an interesting take on what his approach will be if he was invited to be in this podcast.

The best episode in Kindred Stories so far. Dr Afifi is very much technical and knowledgable. Learn so much, not a typical discussion. We need another part of this.
Man I appreciate this kind of deep dive. A true researcher who is a Malay Muslim teaching in Oxford. This is the type of person we can aspire to be. Even when dealing with Christianity and Non-muslim issues he does it respectfully without malice.
Brilliant islamic scholars. Malaysian should be proud of him.
This is one of the best introductions to this podcast. I truly learned so much from Dr Afifi's discussion. Thanks for sharing
Dr Afifi worldview is rarely discussed in Malaysia. Enjoy his thoughts
Love love love this episode! This man exudes kindness and shines with knowledge and wisdom, the kind of Muslim leader we so badly need in Malaysia
Fantastic, this is the kind of ulama that Malaysia and the Muslim world need. Knowledgeable, rational and kind personality with great world view. Not the ustaz and lebais who spew hate that are way too many in Malaysia for the last no of years creating division in our society.
Wonderful episode from the team. Would really like to see Kindred Stories engage with Singapore's Mufti, Dr Nazirudin.
eye opening for all of us. muslim n non muslim. Thank You to KJ n Shahril, we need more speaker like Dr Afifi. we the ummah need this kind of knowledge. Prof Naquib Al-Attas please.
I believe Prof Naquib Al-Attas is no longer taking invitation to speak in public because of his old age. As the Malay says sudah amat uzur. However, his son Prof Tawfik Al Attas is the most suitable candidate to be invited as he is considered the heir of his father's intellectual works.
Alhamdulillah Wow what an amazing episode and what an amazing guest. Subhanallah.
Dr Afifi gave significant insights and serious reminders on how Muslims should first look inward towards improving ourselves in knowledge, the sciences, business, economics, character, politics and leadership in order for us to be self sufficient so that we can enlighten the world through the beauty of Islam.
We need to change the way we interpret, embrace and practise Islam. Great job KJ, Shahril & your wonderful team. Hope this goes viral around the world. Amin. In sya-Allah.🤲🏼🤲🏼🤲🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Love tis episod ,,Dato Dr afifi should come to preach the plp about Islam ..the whole episod i enjoy and try to learn in a peace tune and listening to him in a way of spreading the love of real islam . The msia definately need Dato helps and go futher beyond the clear the image and misunderstanding of plp toward the islam . tks for the real quality information and lesson to me as humble minority malaysian . Peace and love
I just love this intellectual discourse and the knowledge shared brought tears to my eyes. Please have many more of these scholars in KS.
1:53:12 i dont know why i am watering listening to Prophet Muhammad PBUH sirah history
❤❤
This episode is mind-blowing not only due to the giant host but also great critical questions from the hosts. This is by far the best podcast ever that I have watched and very illuminating.
Berat pada segmen awal tapi segmen kedua dan ketiga bagus, malah ada bahagian yang sangat menyentuh sanubari.
I love the topic. Malaysians need this kind of thought .
Please invite Dato Ayob Khan probably in Keluar Sekejap to discuss regarding extremism in Malaysia
Terima Kasih KJ dan Shahril..saya lama follow Dr melalui talk beliau di YT, kemudian mula follow KS..Now KJ dan Shahril bawakan Dr semula depan mata saya..Gem for the ummah..
"the best jeehad is to speak truth to power"
"It is haram to oppress other religion what more if its a zimi"
A standing ovation to great scholar Dr. Afifi
In Dato’ Dr. Afifi al-Akiti I can see a Muslim and Islam. His advice must be heeded, esp by our politicians,.... "don't play with this heady mix of religion & nationalistic populism". Without politicians stoking fires, people generally will be able to get along and live in peace. Like we did during the decades of Nusantara Islam.
Listen to Dato’ Dr Afifi al-Akiti are 1000 times worthier than listening to RPK mumbling merapu kerapu about Malaysia's Politic.
RPK is an expert political analyst, he got excellent informers inside government and outside government, thats how he can "merapu" all the things that we hear as illogical
Merapu dalam club ke?
And that useless self taught Azhar Idrus…
@@azmeeraziz6474a puny mind like you should never procreate…
@@arifhakimi4131Kelakarnya. RPK? 😂
This is one of the best podcasts I’ve ever listened to. Thank you.
probably the best episode of Kindred Stories so far.
Thanks for inviting Dato Dr Afifi al-Akiti for this episode, it was a very knowledgeable conversation and more fascinating when included Imam al-Ghazali as references for the certain arguments, honestly I just knew Imam al-Ghazali as important figure for Islam but don't know much about his contribution for Islam world, but after heard the conversation actually other religions also benefited from him, many things actually we don't know about Imam al-Ghazali, and also thanks for KS team for provided the subtitles if not I thought I will be lost because of the jargon words
Best episode so far ..... Kagum malaysia ada cendiakawan mcm dr.afifi
dr. afifi ckp laju hehe.. i'm glad KJ & shahril pitch in to slow him down at times..
Yes, there have been comparative studies that explore the similarities and differences between Aquinas' Thomistic thought and certain aspects of Islamic theology and philosophy, particularly regarding metaphysics, ethics, and natural law. Overall, while Aquinas' primary focus was within the Christian tradition, his engagement with Aristotelian philosophy, which had roots in Islamic scholarship, has led to some intersections with Islamic thought
Mantap ustazz
MasyaAllah ! What a wonderful podcast! I can listening to him forever, what a great wonderful knowledgeable man.
An amazing guest! Great Scholar. I’m in awe!Always look up to him since 2015
Hoping for KS to invite Dr. Muhammad Salah or Dr. Yasir Qadhi as they are coming to Malaysia in the near future InsyaAllah!
This is amazing guys. To both Muslims and non Muslims. Love the points on bridging and fighting with values on the higher ground. Definitely the difference between Islam and Muslims
This has been such an amazing episode for me. It was so moving and beautiful to learn and relearn the beauty that Islam brings to the ummah. It has spark my interest to learn about imam Ghazali.
Congratulations KS for bringing a great guest & a scholar in the like of Dato' Dr Afifi. Well done KJ, SH & Team KS.
What an excellent episode! ❤
Love the podcast, thank you for your effort. Please invite Profesor Emeritus Tan Sri Dato Dzulkifli bin Abdul Razak, i always love to hear he talks about qalb leadership.. Everyone should get access to his insight, inshaAllah will benefit us all.
Kudos to the KS team for this episode. The best episode to date. I thoroughly enjoyed the discussion. Points brought up for discussion by KJ and Shahril is what that has been lingering on my mind. Dr Afifi is a superb scholar and you both are wonderful hosts! I love this episode

Heard about Dr Afifi in Mehdi Hassan video debating about Islam in oxford, only now i know he's a malaysian. Great episode
Interesting. What was the debate specifically about?
@@ilhamyiqbal3053You can click on the link below, the video is just a cut of the debate . If you cant click, just search 'mehdi Hassan' and 'islam is religion of peace'. Please do watch, it was interesting speech.

You can search 'mehdi Hassan' and 'Islam is a peaceful religion'. The video is just a cut of the debate. Please watch, it was an interesting topic and speech😊
Why my comment always gone😢
@@ilhamyiqbal3053
Try searching "Mehdi Hassan'" and Islam is a religion of peace. Do watch it, It's just a cut of the debate, but it was an interesting and inspiring speech.
insightful sharing
This perhaps ranks as one of the top episodes of BOTH Keluar Sekejap and Kindred Stories combined! Such an enlightening episode this one and I learned so much. Kindred Stories has proven to be such a deeply inspiring podcast for me as a Muslim - very different from the Islam we see in the public space in Malaysia, due to the actions of opportunists and/or penunggang agama.
On a different note - Dr Afifi’s reference to SH being sidekick - I now can’t remove the imagery of Scooby Doo and Scrappy Doo on KS. 😂
Other Malaysian guests - Syed Tawfiq Ali Al-Attas and Fynn Jamal please. 🙏🏽
This is my first episode of Kindred Stories. Tho i may yet to watch the others, im quite fond on this podcast concept. Ur both interviewing Islamic Scholars from all all over the world.
Gotta admit, never knew Dr Afifi before. In only 2 hours, he manage to change my views & way of thinking on certain issues that lingers orund out life today. Alhamdulillah. Looking forward to read his books, insyaAllah
Again, congrat KJ & SH.
Love this discourse!!
A really gud episode
Just love this, very insightful.
Hoping for KS to invite Dr. Khairuddin Aljunied too
wahh invite more scholars in malaysia pls!!!!
