Seemingly out of nowhere, the Arabs swept near east and rapidly conquered the region between Nile and the Oxus. In the process the world's two premier superpowers were brought to their knees. In this podcast we will look at the events leading to this and what followed!

Unfortunately this week's episode will have to be delayed until next week due to issues in the production process. Hopefully this won't happen again, I could have forced out an episode but it would have been incredibly rushed and the quality would be almost certainly sub-par. Essentially it is an issue of quantity vs quality and I hope you all are in support of my decision to favour quality over quantity. What I definitely do not want to do is to just publish an episode for the sake of doing so, my ultimate goal is for every second of every episode to be valuable to the listener whether it be as an informative or entertaining device. Please bear with me in these coming weeks, I promise that we will eventually return to a smoother, more reliable schedule.<br />

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: medium;">From verse 1 to verse 37. The site I linked is very resourceful with many different translations that you can browse through, furthermore if you click on "surah info" the site offers a wealth of information on the surah's background, some of which you should already be familiar with.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: medium;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: medium;">Below I have embedded a YouTube video containing recitation of aforementioned verses.<br />
The prophet would have ended his recitation at the point 9:12 which is the end of verse 37. The translation for verse 37 is as follows:</span><br />
<span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: medium;"><i>"And of His signs are the night and day and the sun and moon. Do not prostrate to the sun or to the moon, but prostate to Allah , who created them, if it should be Him that you worship."</i></span><br />
<span style="font-size: medium;"><i><br /></i></span>
<span style="font-size: medium;">This explains why the prophet used that verse as an opportunity to end his recitation to Utba, </span><span style="font-size: medium;">and why he ended by prostrating.</span></div>

Due to his promising talents, he soon became known by the nickname "Abu-al-Hakam", the father of wisdom.

The "Hatim" section, on the right hand side of the image, today is an open space and not really part of the Ka'aba structure. This is a remnant of Quraysh's renovation of the Ka'aba that we mentioned in this episode. Originally the Ka'aba was more rectangular, what today is the "Hatim" used to actually be part of the structure.</div>
