Faisal sits down with his older brother Omar: a designer, builder, and the mind behind Five Day Sprint.

They explore what it really means to believe in yourself, how a single teacher's words can change your life, and why true success comes from doing, building, and staying curious, not chasing titles or trends.

This conversation is about creativity, faith, and finding purpose in an age where technology moves faster than we do.

Watch this if you've ever felt stuck, lost your sense of passion, or questioned whether you're on the right path.

England legend and World Cup-winning all-rounder Moeen Ali sits down with us one year after retiring from international cricket. We go deep on motivation after retirement, training for franchise leagues, why he still works harder at 38, and how he balances love of the game with staying present for family. Mo opens up on legacy, fame (and why he avoids it), starting his own podcast Beard Before Wicket, and what he wants to pass on as a potential future England coach. We also talk parenting, screen addiction in kids, padel obsession, Liverpool's rough patch, India–Pakistan cricket dynamics, and being proudly Muslim and British in a tense moment for the UK.

From teenage "OG" creator to historian, Arabic teacher, and family man, Musa Adnan returns after six years for a real catch-up on growth, studying, and sincerity. We talk about choosing academia (BA + MA in History) while doubling down on Islamic studies and Arabic, why Arabic is the master key that unlocks every other science, and how teaching accelerates learning.

MARRIAGE & MONEY SUMMIT: https://fg.live

In this episode, Ustadh Abdul Ahad returns to continue our running series on character and manners: from the classical roots of "heedlessness of the righteous" to the modern problem of backbiting, when to ignore and when to forbid evil, how to deal with elders and youngsters, what ghayrah really means (and what it doesn't), and why even gifts can become a burden if you're not wise.

What you'll learn

👉 The original hadith-scholars' meaning of "heedlessness of the righteous" and how the term evolved 👉 A framework for ignoring vs. intervening: balancing preventing evil with protecting hearts 👉 Backbiting vs. narrating events for reconciliation (and why "I'd say it to his face" doesn't make it halal) 👉 Building thicker skin the right way: social intelligence and tailoring your delivery to people 👉 Adab with elders: don't sit before them, don't walk ahead of them, lower your voice 👉 Mercy and playfulness with children; overlooking the small stuff 👉 Ghayrah as protective jealousy for all of Allah's limits—not just over one's spouse 👉 When 'urf (custom) matters and when texts take precedence 👉 Gifting etiquette: how to increase love without burdening your brother or guest

Shaykh Muhammad Tim Humble joins Freshly Grounded to unpack one of the greatest tests of our time: our relationship with money and the dunya.

From the hadith of the two hungry wolves to the difference between having wealth and chasing it, Shaykh Tim explains how ambition, entrepreneurship, and seeking provision can either elevate us or quietly destroy our hearts.

He and Faisal explore:

👉 The fine line between working hard and worshipping hustle 👉 Why dreaming of wealth can harm your dīn 👉 How to balance rizq, tawakkul, and responsibility 👉 The reality of zuhd (detachment) in a modern world 👉How believers can live, earn, and build — without being owned by what they build

This is not a talk against success — it's a call to redefine it.

Nine years since his first appearance, Silverback AJ is back, older, wiser, and still lifetime natural. We go deep on what actually transforms a "skinny-fat" body, the truth about protein targets, why strength is the #1 progress metric, and how to set calories without obsessing over the scale. Ajmal breaks down training splits (bro split vs push/pull/legs), cardio vs steps, creatine and shilājit, and why most people stall because of… snacking. We also tackle the steroid question, the famous study everyone cites, and the Islamic line between looking after your body as an amānah and avoiding vanity. Fatherhood, discipline, legacy and practical steps you can start today.

Faisal sits down with Ilker Abak, a Muslim psychologist from Melbourne, to dive deep into the world of psychology, therapy, and emotional well-being. Together they unpack what clinical psychology actually is, why therapy carries so much stigma, and how emotions like anger, jealousy, and stress can be understood rather than suppressed.

Ilker shares powerful insights on:

👉 The difference between therapy and Islamic guidance, and where they overlap. 👉 Why identifying emotions is harder than most people think. 👉 The role of childhood in shaping adulthood and why your past doesn't have to define you. 👉 Anger, avoidance, and the triggers we often mislabel. 👉 Addiction, including the taboo around pornography, and how to break the destructive cycle. 👉 Marriage, parenting, and learning the skill of "fighting fair" in relationships.

Most importantly, Ilker highlights the need to demystify therapy, showing that it's not just about "telling someone how you feel" but about building real strategies for a balanced and meaningful life, all while staying rooted in faith.

Sam Burr, better known as Arabic with Sam, drops in for a heart-to-heart on language, sincerity, and building a mission that actually serves people. We get into his new program Arabic Reconnect, why he refuses "white guy surprises people in their language" content, and his blended method for learning Arabic: science for Qur'ān precision + play for real-world speaking.

We also talk Umrah with the family (and why the Ḥaram is more visual than you think), raising kids with British Sign Language, losing 9kg with sleep + black coffee + sane food, Somali life (yes, camel milk), and finding clarity as a creator.

Yohan joins Freshly Grounded to share the story of growing up in a Rastafarian-led, God-centred home in West London, stumbling through Catholic pews and Baptist choirs, then finding Islam via a co-worker who prayed at Heathrow before pulling shifts at Caffè Nero. We unpack what actually tipped him over the line to take shahādah, the lonely stretch many reverts don't talk about, and how fatherhood (now six kids!) and the loss of a brother reshaped his faith and priorities.

Imran ibn Mansur (formerly "Dawah Man") sits down with Faisal to unpack the rebrand, the regrets, and the mission he's now chasing.

He explains why he "killed" the Dawah Man persona, the context behind viral clips from the masjid, and what changed as he started working with 7–9 figure Muslim entrepreneurs.

We get into his "Victory Code" (7 pillars for building anything that lasts), the danger of the tongue for creators, platform nuance (Snapchat, social media), leadership, and how to run Muslim projects with real data, KPIs, and vision.

Imrān also addresses past tensions, why he took a video down, and what Righteous & Rich / The Cave actually do.

What we cover:

• Why he "killed" Dāwah Man (brand, audience, leverage)
• Viral masjid clip: the full story and what he learned
• Regret, reconciliation, and removing a video
• From street da'wah to serving CEOs & founders
• The "Victory Code"
• Building Muslim networks that move capital, talent, and impact
• Books shaping his thinking (Built to Last, Insanely Simple, Actions of the Heart)
