The Adnan Husain Show

Full Audio of You Tube Livestream Office Hours program!!
Adnan is joined by two comrades and scholars of the history and theory of Guerrilla War, Profs Justin Podur and Alex Aviňa, both friends of the show. This era of anticolonial and anti-imperial resistance has witnessed many developments in insurgency, guerrilla, and asymmetrical war from Gaza, Southern Lebanon, to Yemen and Iran among the Axis of Resistance. This important conversation gives us an opportunity to learn about some of the main features of People's War politically and tactically from the roots in communist and revolutionary struggles to anticolonial resistance and what innovations and lessons can be learned since the Genocide and resistance and their implications for liberation and geopolitics of our time. Read your Mao, get your Che on! Join us with your comments and questions, Fri August 6, 3pm ET.
Please support our fundraiser for my online course for students in Gaza: Guerrilla History: Anticolonial Resistance History, Theory, Practice for materials, supplies and equipment for creative expression and sharing of their historical research. Please be generous again as you have in supporting this course:

"The All-Encompassing" or al-Muheet is a less discussed of the Qur'anic divine attributes because many traditions/hadith of the devotional "99 Names" and subsequent Sufi commentaries do not include it. Al-Tilimsani, following the incidence of divine names as they appear in the Qur'an, dedicates a discussion of al-Muheet. Adnan and Marc engage in an exploration of the meanings and experiences of encompassing and return to the question of the divine-human relationship and the "jamali" and "jalali" distinction we've been considering in recent names emphasizing divine lordship. What is the relationship between the "Avenging" attribute al-Muntaqim and the ontological, universal "Mercy" of al-Rahman in the experience of "The All-Encompassing", al-Muheet? A phenomenological perspective bears particular fruit as we conclude with al-tlimimsani's quotation of the great North African Sufi Master Abu Madyan, "Whoever speaks of dates without tasting their sweetness in his mouth has not spoken of dates!" His final exhortation in his discussion of al-Muheet is: "So understand this, and you will understand the deepest meanings of the final end through your own tasting and state, not trhough transmitted reports and hearsay!" As ever, we reflect on how the name, the sufi commentaries on the name, might together bring insight to a deeper consideration of our own contemporary material conditions and instrospections spiritually, psychologically, and phenomenologically.
We look forward to your comments!

The series The Karbabal Paradigm and Anti-Imperialist Resistance for Muharram addresses the important ideas that helped transform modern Shi'i devotional practice and theology into a revolutionary anti-imperialist force. Often called the ideologist of the Islamic Revolution in 1979, Dr. Shariati's writings and teachings are a fundamental source of anti-imperialist thought from the Global South. In particular he articulated a non-secular but radical and liberatory project that is at the heart of the Axis of Resistance's use of Shi'i values, rituals, and sacred histories as tools of struggle. You could say this episode will begin to delve into the historical reinterpretation of Shariati that gave birth to Shi'i liberation theology. Join me for Day 2/3 of Muharram on this series.

In this 7th episode of the Names of God series, Adnan and Marc reflect on al-Malik, the King or Owner, another name or attribute that raises the questions of lordship and servanthood in their intimate, non-dualistic interrelationship and the language of hierarchy in the context of spiritual development and psychological health for humans. Because al-Tlimsani discusses the appearance of al-Malik in the context of its Qur'anic appearance in the opening surah, al-fatiha, as "Master of the Day of Judgment," we discussed the eschatological meanings of the "afterlife" from an experiential understanding in juxtaposition to conventional understandings in Islamicate (and broadly monotheistic) theology. al-Ghazali's definition of "kingship" as being free from need opens up ways of understanding spiritual self-sufficiency or sovereignty in our daily life as a practical absorption of this name spiritually. In a wide ranging conversation about different dimensions of al-Malik, we explore the spiritual, the metaphysical, the political, and the social in contemporary life from both conceptual and experiential approaches for what it means to be human.
