Isnad Academy Podcast

In this episode, I sit with Mln. Ebrahim Moosa from the Palestine Information Network for a frank conversation on the current escalation in the region and what it means for the wider Ummah.

This is the full, raw recording as it was captured. It is not edited for tone, platform sensitivities, or soundbites. The aim is clarity: identifying the aggressor-victim framing, resisting oversimplification, and keeping our moral compass anchored while the timeline shifts fast.

We also speak about:

• How public confusion is forming and why it is understandable
• The danger of making any state a barometer for Palestine
• Holding political clarity without collapsing into theological confusion
• Justice, consistency, and the responsibility of speech in crisis
• Ramadan: worship, dua, and meaningful action without escapism

Listen with care, verify claims, and keep your heart anchored to Allah in a moment designed to disorient.

In this powerful and timely conversation, Shaykh Irshaad Sedick sits down with Mawlānā Ebrahim Moosa of the Palestine Information Network to reflect on the newly declared ceasefire after two years of genocide in Gaza.

Together they unpack:

• What this “ceasefire” really means — and what it doesn’t.
• How the people of Gaza remain unbroken despite unimaginable loss.
• The hypocrisy of global politics and the ongoing battle of narratives.
• The moral duty of Muslims worldwide to pursue justice and accountability.
• The urgent need for the Ummah to build its own power, platforms, and institutions.

This is not the end of the story — it’s the beginning of our reckoning.

Listen as two South African scholars and activists discuss faith, resistance, and the future of the struggle for Palestine.

In this gripping and urgent conversation, M. Irshaad Sedick sits down with analyst and political commentator Sami Hamdi for an unflinching look at the Gaza genocide, global power games, and the silence of Muslim leaders. This isn’t about headlines, it’s about what’s happening behind closed doors, and what we, as the Umma, must do about it.

From Iran and Trump’s foreign policy to the betrayal of Palestine by those sworn to defend it, Sami exposes hard truths with clarity and conviction. He explains why the ICJ case matters, how South Africa stood tall when others remained seated, and what real action, not just emotion, looks like.

This is not just a video. It’s a wake-up call. If you believe in justice, if you believe in dignity, if you believe in the power of the people, watch this. Share it. And be part of the Umma in motion.

In this heartfelt and inspiring episode, we sit down with Mawlana Sedick Bailey, a 78-year-old scholar and the oldest graduate of the late Mawlana Taha Karaan (may Allah have mercy on him). Mawlana Bailey shares his remarkable journey of seeking knowledge across decades, reflecting on what it means to be a lifelong learner in service of faith and community.

We discuss:

• His early days of study and what drew him to sacred knowledge

• The impact and legacy of his teacher, Mln Taha Karaan

• How he continues to learn and grow even in his late seventies

• The role of humility, patience, and purpose in the pursuit of ‘ilm

Whether you’re a young student or a seasoned teacher, Mawlana Bailey’s story is a powerful reminder: it is never too late to learn, and the path of knowledge is lifelong.
