A Roadmap for a Moral Society: Episode 8

Exploring Justice, Equity, Moderation, and Detachment: Roadmaps for a Moral Society | Episode 8

In this episode of ‘Roadmaps for a Moral Society’, contemplate the deep concepts of justice, equity, moderation, and detachment in the context of personal practice and societal growth. We continue our discussion from last week, we wrap up talking about justice and equity, and then embark on new terrain – exploring moderation, focusing on its importance in various spheres of life, including food, dress, and the balance of liberty and civilization. We also dive into the concept of detachment, shedding light on the often forgotten territory of emotional and intellectual decluttering. Our guest speaker, Mr Jilber Hakeem, helps demystify these complex topics, stressing their significance in personal growth and societal progress. They also highlight issues such as the inherent challenges in interpreting religious texts and the importance of aligning oneself with ‘the right and wrong of Revelation’ to achieve true happiness.
