In a time of great trials and tribulations, injustices, misguidance, false ideologies and alluring temptations, the topic of enjoining what is right and prohibiting what is wrong has become a crucial topic. However, the Muslim community must learn the wisdom and approach in doing so, applying the Quranic verse ‘invite to the path of your Lord with wisdom and goodly advice’ (16:125).

This is a classic true story, which I originally delivered in 1997 and became a source of salvation and hope for all those who have gone too deep in sins and lost hope of a return. Again, by request I delivered it in the 2023 Light Upon Light UK Tour. It is about repentance and hope in Allah’s Mercy and Forgiveness, a real life event that I hope will give you comfort and inspiration, inshaAllah.

I thoroughly enjoyed conducting this interview with Sheikh Adnaan Menk, the nephew of Mufti Menk. Our conversation delved into the realms of business, economics, and finance, exploring his research thesis at Madina University which specifically addressed these topics, with a particular emphasis on cryptocurrency.

In this podcast, we discuss, why Mufti Menk uses jokes a lot in his lectures, Da’wah approaches, clarifying certain issues when being a public speaker, advice about hasty judgements, problems in social media comments and posts, the challenges of Muslim youth, Muslim women, family, parenting and Palestine.

A casual chat with my brother in Islam, Imam Omar Suleiman. This was recorded while we were on a tour together in the UK, the annual Light Upon Light Conference Tour 2024. We discuss his childhood, friendships, his late mother’s influence on him and Palestine, Imam Omar’s ethnic origin.

Established psychological studies and psychoanalysis suggests that the human nature yearns for an attachment to a trusted caregiver. The first we attach with is our mothers. This has lead to conclusions that people with an attachment to God are more likely to have a better mental health and longer survival expectancy. In this lecture we evaluate this connection through the Quranic approach and find out how our attachment to Allah and Quran plays a role in our inner peace and mental health.

Studies reveal that 70% of wealth is depleted by the first generation and 90% by the third. Many neglect the importance of a lasting legacy that pleases Allah, offering ongoing benefits and rewards after death—whether through ceaseless charity, imparting beneficial knowledge, or nurturing righteous descendants who pray for them. Unlike worldly legacies, the hereafter holds eternal significance. Islam emphasizes initiating good deeds, ensuring that even after being forgotten by the third generation, one's contributions remain valuable in the eyes of Allah. Join us to explore the significance of deeds that never go in vain, no matter how big or small.
