Grandparenting & Faith Part 2– Faith, Family, and Cartoons – A Conversation with Zia Ahmed
Welcome back to The Modern Grandparenting Podcast. In this episode, we’re joined by Zia Ahmed — founder and editor of the Australasian Muslim Times and a respected Islamic community leader based in Western Sydney.
Zia comes from a long line of strong family and community connections — his great-grandfather lived to the remarkable age of 103. Continuing that legacy, Zia has spent decades fostering a vibrant, faith-driven community. His weekly gatherings bring people together to study, reflect, and act on shared values. He’s also one of the key figures behind a beloved community festival that’s been running for 40 years and now draws over 20,000 attendees.
Beyond his public work, Zia is a devoted grandfather who cherishes the simple joys of time spent with his grandchildren — especially watching cartoons together.
In this episode, Zia shares insights on the importance of intergenerational relationships, the role of faith in modern grandparenting, and how small moments can build lasting bonds.
