A short episode about Muti’ah Badruddeen’s novel, Rekiya and Z, discussing the following:
- Muslim Nigerian and West African portrayals in literature
- Flawed Muslim characters and their faith
- Organic portrayals of polygamy rather than emotionally charged, blatantly agenda driven ones
Assalamu alaykum and yay! I listen to your podcast sporadically and I’m always so glad to see new episodes, especially this one, because I’ve been interested in Rekiya and Z. Black and/or African Muslim stories are still so rare. Can’t wait to listen!
