Introduction

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 Imam Dawood Yasin who is Director of Student Life & Instructor of Experiential Learning at Zaytuna College.

"And mention when your Lord said to the angels, 'Indeed, I will make upon the earth a successive steward (khalifa)' " (2:30). Who are these successive stewards and how does God address them? In this episode, Imam Dawood examines the Qur’anic injunction of stewardship and upon whom it falls.
