Script written by Notion AI (Content Studio agent) — bridged explicitly from episode 25 (Ibn Rushd/Averroes), covers Musa ibn Maymun's flight from Almohad persecution, his rise as physician and communal leader in Fustat/Cairo, the Mishneh Torah, and especially the Guide for the Perplexed (Dalalat al-Ha'irin) — his via negativa theology, allegorical scriptural reading, and deep engagement with the same falsafa tradition (al-Farabi, Ibn Sina, Ibn Rushd) across religious lines. Explicitly framed as the shared Mediterranean intellectual world spanning Muslim and Jewish thought, not separate silos. As the closing episode of this 3-episode run, the script also ties together the reason/revelation/unveiling arc across al-Ghazali → Ibn Rushd → Maimonides before setting up the next bridge. Script length ~1,748 words — ran long again (finale scope), used as-is given coherence. +2. Audio generated via `edge-tts`, voice `en-US-AriaNeural` (matches established host voice across all episodes). +3. Uploaded to Ghost media API, published via Admin API in a single clean attempt — no duplicate-slug issue. + +## Bridge queued next +Episode 26 closes with two possible natural directions flagged for the next episode: (1) following Maimonides's legacy forward into later Jewish and Christian scholastic thought wrestling with Aristotle/revelation/divine attributes, or (2) returning to a more explicitly Sufi/mystical voice to contrast conceptual clarity with purification, presence, and love. Either is a valid next-episode seed — not pre-decided. + +## Series status +Falah Cast now at 8 consecutive clean episodes since resuming: 19 (Ibn Khaldun), 20 (Rumi), 21 (Sejarah Melayu), 22 (al-Farabi/Madinah), 23 (Ibn Ata'illah/Kitab al-Hikam), 24 (al-Ghazali), 25 (Ibn Rushd/Averroes), 26 (Maimonides). This closes the requested 3-episode run (24-26). + +Still open from prior sessions: the cloud-environment egress allow-list (`api.gumroad.com`, `git.falahos.my`, `iqra.falahos.my`) is still not fixed, so the scheduled daily/biweekly routines remain non-functional — all publishing continues to happen live, in-session, not via automation. Out of scope for this task per instruction.
