    Ep. 54: I’m a Muslim American and I Don’t Feel Like Voting
    Oct 29 2024

    The political scene in America has been disturbing, distressing, and disheartening, and a lot of us don’t even feel the energy to vote. Mehak Jamil, a local activist and attorney from my hometown, talks about how important it is to vote in the upcoming election despite how hopeless it feels. She also talks about her efforts to found a political organization to advocate for Muslims, and how vital it is for Muslim communities to mobilize politically in the next few years so that our voices are heard in future elections.

    Ep. 49: Unlocking Your Heart with the Quran with Dr. Zainab Alwani
    Oct 1 2023
    Have you felt disconnected from the Quran lately, or want to develop a closer relationship with the text? Dr. Zainab Alwani is an expert on tadabbur, or contemplation, and she tells us how to open our locked hearts and let the Quran change our lives. Once a relationship with the Quran is created, you will never want to let go, and the way you see the world and treat others around you will change significantly. Dr. Zainab provides some practical tips for us to reach this type of relationship while also having a busy life with many distractions. Note: The four ayahs about tadabbur in the Quran that Dr. Zainab mentions are (4:82), (47:24), (23:68), & (38:29).
