Dearborn, Michigan is home to one of the largest Muslim populations in America. In this two-part episode, we speak with special guest, Sayed Mohammad Baqer Qazwini, to get a nuanced view of the Islamic perspective on disabilities. Sayed Qazwini graduated from the University of Michigan with a Bachelor of Art in Sociology and is currently a scholar at the Islamic Institute of America, as well as an instructor and founder of the Al-Hujjah Islamic Seminary. 

Throughout the episode, we discuss how various Islamic laws apply to disabilities, accommodations mosques should offer, attitudes and mentalities towards disabilities, and attending the Islamic Pilgrimage with a disability.
