In this powerful episode, we sit down with Zul-Qarnain — the man who made headlines after interrupting Kendrick Lamar’s Super Bowl halftime show in a bold protest against the ongoing wars and genocide in Palestine and Sudan. Zul-Qarnain shares an unfiltered, emotional account of that day: the motivation behind his public act, what happened behind the scenes, and how it sparked global conversations around justice and human rights.

We also explore his tireless work beyond that moment. He opens up about his charity initiatives aimed at supporting war-affected families, his dawah efforts through The Open Book platform, and how he's using media to reframe narratives about Islam. Zul-Qarnain also walks us through his deeply personal reversion story to Islam — from spiritual searching to the conviction that led him to faith.
