Episode Details

I have been thinking about fathers recently: what do they do? What is their function?  How are they effectively?  Today, I dive into the Biblical and Qur'anic Jacob/Yaqub and explore how the Qur'an understands fathers, especially in terms of their spiritual and mentorship role.  Jacob/Yaqub is open about his emotions, complains to God, and encourages his sons to have belief or hope.
