This podcast is brought to you by Ulmadi Institute, an open platform for critical Muslim scholarship.

The aim of this talk is to demonstrate that human beings have an innate capacity for divine recognition, moral awareness, and meaning making.

And to demonstrate that Muslim chaplaincy is best understood as a practice of facilitating remembrance, zikr, restoring ontological alignment and enabling individuals to interpret their lived experiences as meaningful within a sacred cosmology.

Therefore, we as human beings are all potentially able to find answers to our existential questions.

So how? By developing a theological model rooted in Qur'anic and Islamic thought, it draws on following important concepts.

The Fetrah, that's the primordial disposition, Al-Ast Covenant, the primordial covenant, and the divine names and attributes, the Al-Asma al-Husna.

So why can't we just use the secular model? In contemporary institutional contexts, hospitals, prisons, universities, and the military, Muslim chaplaincy has emerged as a vital domain of pastoral and spiritual care.
