Episode Details

In this episode, I share a reading from my novel A Strange New Land: Decree—a literary speculative story rooted in Islamic concepts of memory, repentance, and return.This passage reflects on a vision of Hell shaped by consumerism: a place where desire never ends, where people are surrounded by endless wanting but no true nourishment.Alongside the reading, I speak about: • how consumer culture affects the soul • the spiritual foundation behind this story • and some of my own reflections on desire, meaning, and healingA Strange New Land is not a theological text, but a contemplative work of literary fiction inspired by Islamic ideas of destiny, conscience, and redemption.Thank you for listening and being part of this new direction of the channel—where story becomes a space for reflection, not performance.📖 Learn more about the book: https://www.aishahalam.com/astrangene...📩 Join my newsletter for a free chapter of A Strange New Land: https://sendfox.com/lp/m2nd07
