The Open Road of Islam | Islam at Crossroads - Ep 06 | Arq-e-Gulab - 056

In this episode, we explore Islam’s powerful affirmation of human dignity, freedom, and moral responsibility. Muhammad Asad contrasts the burden of "original sin" in Christianity and the world-denying mysticism of other faiths with Islam’s open road—where every soul begins pure, and redemption is personal, not inherited. Islam neither idolizes worldly life nor despises it; instead, it offers a clear path that integrates spiritual striving with earthly responsibility. This episode delves into how Islam empowers individuals to develop their unique potential while building a just and moral society grounded in divine purpose.
