Welcome to the first episode of the Edraak Podcast! In this episode, Dr. Ali Salman and Noor Natusha Nusaiba introduce the Edraak series and the thinking behind its expansion into Edraak Weekly and Edraak Monthly.

The conversation unpacks Edraak’s core vision: developing a deeper and more nuanced understanding of the Muslim world by moving beyond conflict-centric and security-focused narratives. The hosts explain the structure of Edraak Weekly, which tracks key developments across four zones of the Muslim world, and Edraak Monthly, which will feature long-form analysis, podcasts, and book reviews.

This episode also situates Edraak within the broader mission of the Islam and Liberty Network, focused on advancing informed conversations around religious, economic, and political freedoms in Muslim societies.
