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.
