Qissa wa 'Ibar (lecture series)

A lesson series by Omar Abdelkafy, given during the blessed month he calls the month of mercy. Each episode takes one story from the Qur'an or from a sound hadith, tells it, and then draws the lessons from it. The first episode sets out his method: the Qur'anic story is told for its lesson, not for the names, places or dates of its people.
