Ritual Practice in Early Islam: Fasting by Dr. Khalil Andani

This is an academic talk about how Muslim ritual practices evolved during the lifetime of the Prophet Muhammad based on changing socio-political and inter-religious contexts. The lecture specifically covers changed in fasting rituals and prayer direction (qibla) in the early period. The speaker then discusses how Sunni and Shii Ismaili approaches to post-Quranic law, interpretation and guidance drastically differ.
