From Medicine to Mission: How Dr. Sabeel Ahmed Built a Global Da'wah Movement | Episode 19
What makes someone leave behind a career in medicine to dedicate their life to dawah?
In this inspiring episode, we sit down with Dr. Sabeel Ahmed, a leading da'ee and visionary behind GainPeace, to explore his journey from medical school to full-time Islamic outreach.
Dr. Sabeel shares the pivotal moment that transformed his life: watching a lecture by Sheikh Ahmad Deedat as a teenager, which ignited his passion for Islam and showed him that dawah was not just a choice — it was a mission.
We discuss:
- How one video changed his life forever and gave him certainty in Islam.
- Why he left medicine to pursue dawah full-time.
- The importance of joining existing organizations (like ICNA) before starting your own.
- The rise of GainPeace and how it grew from local to global impact.
- The role of social media in spreading the message of Islam worldwide.
- Advice for young Muslims: how to find your mission, align with the ummah's needs, and choose the path of dawah responsibly.
This is more than a personal story — it's a reminder that Islam needs dedicated voices today.
