What role has sound played throughout Islamic history, not merely as art, but as a bridge between the human and the Divine? How have Muslim mystics understood music and listening (samā’) as a pathway to presence, awakening, and communion with God? In this illuminating talk, we journey into the heart of Islamic spirituality, where the act of listening becomes a sacred practice, and sound becomes a vehicle for transcendence.Drawing from classical Sufi texts and philosophical insights, Dr. Ali Hussain guides us through the subtle landscapes of inner hearing and divine resonance.

Discover how sound and music have functioned not only as cultural expressions but as deeply rooted metaphysical experiences in the Islamic tradition. Whether you’re a seeker, a scholar, or simply curious about the spiritual dimensions of sound, this book discussion promises to enrich your understanding of the Sacred through the art of listening.
