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. Celene Ibrahim, a teacher at Groton School's Department of Religious Studies and Philosophy.
In this episode, Dr. Ibrahim follows the story of Zulekha, wife of the Egyptian viceroy, who commits a series of moral errors and only rectifies her mistake when the social situation requires it. Her story teaches us the importance of pursuing redemption, forgiveness, or a change in course.
