Episode 3 - RESPECT AND MANNERS IN ISLAM
Manners in foundation stem from respect -- respect of Allah and all of His creation. The Messenger of Allah used to say: "The best amongst you are those who have the best manners and character. To treat someone with respect means to treat them with high regard, with honor." In Islam, respect is one of the foundations of faith, and one of the pillar stones of Akhlaq (the practice of virtue, morality and manners).
Keeping your word. Being on time. Being considerate. Behaving out of line.

Episode 1 - GUILT IN ISLAM
In Islam, it is expected that people will sin - it's inevitable, it's part of our design, it's a natural consequence of free will. God is merciful, so if He chooses he may pardon the sin completely. However this is not always easy for people to deal with.
So, how is it as Muslims that we deal with our Guilt and how do we overcome its overwhelming effects?

Episode 4 - GOSSIP IN ISLAM
Islam teaches that vain speech and talking about others are serious sins. One of the hallmarks of righteous behavior is good speech. A person who stays mindful of Allah (God) will want to refrain from sins of the tongue such as backbiting, slander, gossip, lying, swearing, cursing and vain talk. The Qur'an and Hadith warn against these sins of the tongue.
Religious scholars advise Muslims to think before speaking.

Episode 6 - TOLERANCE AND FORGIVENESS IN ISLAM
It is disheartening how seldom we are able to forgive each other and how often we are impetuously intolerant toward one another. Islam teaches us that the strongest of servants are those who not only have the strength to suppress their anger when they are tested but also possess an immeasurable capacity to forgive. Actually Islam may tolerate anything, but it teaches zero tolerance for injustice, oppression, and violation of the rights of other human beings.

Episode 2 - GENDERED RELATIONS AND THE FEMININE FORM IN ISLAM
So often has Islam been portrayed as an exclusively masculine, patriarchal faith that many have never suspected the central importance of the Feminine in Islam and would be astonished to realize that it has been there from the beginning. This is possibly one of the most contentious issues in Islam and society today.
Why is there a male obsession with feminine form and the need to cover it?
