In this episode of the BeQuran Podcast, Ali and Fatima explore a lecture by Sayed Mohammed Baqer al-Qazwini that dives deep into the core of Tawheed the oneness of God.

What’s the real difference between Al-Wahid and Al-Ahad? Is it just semantics, or does it impact how we understand God's essence, His relationship to creation, and divine self-sufficiency?

We break down complex theological concepts using practical analogies—like the table parts example and discuss the Quranic story of Prophet Isa (as) creating a bird from clay, plus a rare hadith during the minor occultation of Imam Mahdi (aj).

If you’ve ever pondered the deeper meaning of “God is One,” this episode is for you.

In Episode 12 of the BeQuran Podcast, hosts Ali and Fatima confront one of the most difficult theological questions: If God is all-powerful and all-good, why is there evil in the world?

This episode dives deep into:

• The concept of dualism and why Islam rejects the idea of two competing divine forces
• How the Qur’an frames suffering as part of divine wisdom, not chaos
• Analogies that help us understand pain: bitter medicine, testing in school, and the full story beyond one page
• Why trusting in Allah’s justice goes beyond what we can see in this life
• How trials and tests are opportunities for growth, not signs of divine absence

Join us as we unpack the emotional and intellectual dimensions of this question and explore how belief in Tawhid offers clarity in times of hardship.

In Episode 11 of the BeQuran Podcast, hosts Ali and Fatima explore the profound concept of Tawhid — the Oneness of God — through five powerful intellectual and philosophical arguments.

Based on insights from the lecture by Sayed Mohammed Baqer al-Qazwini, this episode explains:

• Why the universe’s consistent order points to a single Creator
• The absence of any true rival to God — no prophets, scriptures, or signs from another deity
• Why God’s perfection rules out the need for another being
• The logical contradiction of having multiple, limited or dependent gods
• How divine unity affirms God’s eternal, independent, and indivisible nature

Join us as we reflect on how the Qur’an, reason, and natural signs all point toward the clear truth: there is only One God.

In Episode 10, hosts Ali and Fatima explore one of the most compelling arguments for the existence of God — the Argument of Design, also known as the Teleological Argument.

Drawing from Islamic scholarship, Qur’anic verses, and philosophical reasoning, this episode discusses:

• The law of cause and effect and the necessity of a First Cause
• The concept of infinite regress and why logic demands a beginning
• Fine-tuning in the universe — from atmospheric precision to cosmic constants
• How Islamic thought engages with science, intellect (ʿaql), and probability to point toward an Intelligent Creator

Featuring insights from lectures by Sayed Mohammed Baqer al-Qazwini, this episode is a powerful reflection on the signs of Allah in creation.
