What Islam Means to Me with Aysha Iqbal
Is Islam a religion of hate, intolerance and fundamentalism? Definately not according to Aysha Iqbal, a former BBC/ITV news anchor who has been studying the faith for over two decades.
In this video, Aysha shares her insight into the spiritual aspect of Islam and the valuable lessons she has learnt from the Quran through her study of a religious scripture that is growing in worldwide popularity despite large scale negative coverage in the mainstream media.
Aysha who was raised in a Pakistani Muslim family feels that as a second generation Muslim, the Islam that she was taught in her community was heavily mixed with culture which diluted the pure teachings of her faith and its deeper spiritual teachings of equality, unity, peace and humility and purpose.
Aysha shares how a deep spiritual journey into the Quran has given her a clearer insight on how to live as a woman of both the east and the west and gives her timeless principles and guidance on to live and conduct herself in ever changing times. She says that Islam and the timeless teachings of the Quran are her anchor in a society that is rapidly changing and shifting in multiple ideological directions during times of unprecedented change.
