Reflections on Mercy, Compassion, and Forgiveness in Ramadan

Assalamu alaikum. Welcome to the Zaytuna College Ramadan Podcast. During this blessed month, we invite you to join the faculty, staff, and guests of Zaytuna College as they reflect upon timeless reminders from the Qur’an and the Islamic tradition. 

Today’s episode is by Dr. Mona Hassan, an Associate Professor of Islamic Studies & History at Duke University in the departments of History and Religious Studies and the program of International Comparative Studies. 

According to a prophetic tradition, the gates of divine mercy open during the first third of the sacred month of Ramadan. In this episode, Dr. Hassan discusses the actions we can take to increase our share of mercy throughout these blessed days.
