In this episode of After Maghrib, we sit down with Sayed Zafar Abbas to explore the provocative and pressing question of religious pluralism through a Shi‘i theological lens. Is Islam’s finality compatible with the salvation of others? Can divine justice accommodate those who never encountered the Imamate? We navigate tensions between exclusivism, inclusivism, and pluralism—drawing from Qur’anic verses, classical scholars like al-‘Allama al-Hilli, and contemporary thought. From metaphysics to modernity, we ask whether the Shia tradition has something unique to offer today’s interfaith world. A conversation for seekers, skeptics, and everyone in between.

Through heat, exhaustion, and hardship, their unwavering spirit carried them to their destination: the holy city of Karbala, arriving on the joyous occasion of his Wiladat. A story of resilience, brotherhood, and purpose you won’t want to miss.
