New to Islam? You're welcome here.
You can listen, read along, and ask basic questions during the live. You don't need to buy a book or know anything about Islam to join.
Questions about reading along
- Is Meadows of the Righteous the Quran?
- No. It is a collection of hadith, reports of what Prophet Muhammad said and did, with Quran passages alongside them. The Quran is Islam's scripture, believed by Muslims to be God's revelation.
- Where are we reading today?
- Ask me for the chapter or hadith number in the live. Page numbers can differ between the printed book and PDF.
- Which Quran should I choose?
- To recognise the book from my earlier lives, choose The Clear Quran in English and Arabic. For my article quotations, I normally use M. A. S. Abdel Haleem. You can also start with the free online reader before choosing a print edition.

Stories of the Prophets - Mufti Menk
I highly recommend this playlist. Mufti Menk is a great storyteller...
His stories of the prophets, from Adam to Muhammad, peace be upon them, are some of the most inspiring to listen to.
There are so many lessons about Islam, handling difficulties, and keeping faith. You can simply listen along.
This isn't a full biography of Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him. For a fuller account of his life, I recommend the playlist below.
I also highly recommend this playlist for a more detailed look at the life of Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him...
It explores his childhood as an orphan, his family, the first revelation, how people treated him, and his journey from Mecca to Medina.
The AI visuals are imagined scenes, not real footage. They help you picture life without the electricity, running taps, and air conditioning we take for granted today. For me, that context brings a deeper respect and understanding of who he was and what he lived through.
