Niqaabi's Tell All | Part Two

Welcome, Friends. Storytelling has the power to not only create connections but provide universal truths about ourselves and the world. When listening to this podcast, I ask that you honor these stories and the rawness, transparency, and vulnerability that they invoke. Invite them with an open heart and you will see that all stories share a universal message. I pray that each anecdote leaves you inspired to share as the Prophet (ﷺ) said, "It is also charity to utter a good word.” But more importantly, I pray that you allow yourself to find comfort in the good, wisdom in the hardship, and the courage to trust Allah.

S4 EP8 | The Forgotten People - Part 2

There’s no doubt that faith is a journey and fighting to protect one’s faith is an honorable struggle. But what happens when you embark on a journey without a guide - or even worse, a guide who has gone astray? 
This week’s episode sheds light on the grim reality of what happens when our vulnerable youth find comfort in the arms of strangers with ill intentions. Our guest Sara vulnerably shares her story of being groomed and radicalized in her early teens and how it turned her life upside down upside down forever.

Nothing prepares you for seeing your homeland being torn apart. Sudan, a country once brimming with life, vibrant with dreams and hopes for the future of the land and the future of the people, is currently being ravaged by war and a genocide that is being ignored by the international community. The women of Sudan have risen up to lead the fight for revolution and liberation. In this episode, we hear from two such women - they are on the ground in Sudan, in the midst of war, fighting for the truth, and for their homeland.

S4 EP5 | Sudan's Collective Grief Is Never Ending

It is common knowledge that France has always made it very hard for muslim women to wear the hijab, and this season of Fighting for faith would be missing something if it didn’t have our French sisters.
