History Speaks EP 15 | Animals in the Qur’an | Roshan Iqbal with Sarra Tlili
In this episode of History Speaks, Dr. Roshan Iqbal speaks with Dr.
Sarra Tlili, author of Animals in the Qur’an, a groundbreaking
work—translated into Arabic—that has reshaped scholarship on Islam,
ethics, and the environment. Together, they explore her thesis that
the Qur’an is theocentric and not an anthropocentric text and what
this means for how we understand creation and ourselves. This episode
is dedicated, with Dr. Tlili’s permission, to the life and legacy of
Jane Goodall.
