Mommying While Muslim

 Fahd Al Binali of IQRA Network joins us today to discuss his role in creating the platform to teach Quran and Islamic studies without children hating either or both. His specific interest in gearing education toward Western audiences is especially important because it focuses on application of these principles in students’ lives. This requires innovatively training and treating instructors in an organized way with accountability on all sides. IQRA fosters the relationship between teachers and students instead of the fear and dread that a lot of us experienced when learning Quran. We certainly didn’t have teachers with such integral preparation to engage Muslim American kids in our childhoods.  Uzma’s experience with the platform has been exemplary and her son is busily memorizing Juz ‘Amma, angry at her for not doing so herself. IQRA’s created a monster! Listen to this episode for a free course offered by IQRA Network to one blessed listener, and the first person to get the code word to us via DM or email at [email protected] will win.  Tune in at 6pm EST on Apple podcasts, Stitcher, Amazon Music, or click on link in bio to hear this episode.

 @browndages co-founder Instisar Bashir joins us today to describe the product she created with her husband in order to provide POC with options to cover up their wounds with products that actually blend in with their skin. For too long, we’ve had to explain the mainstream bandaids when people can clearly see them on our darker skin when it’s really not relevant to discussions at hand. Can we just cover them up and move on already? Heal in silence!  Find out how this mompreneur created Browndages with NO EXPERIENCE in creating such a product and ended up on Shark Tank. There they won the support of no less than 3 Sharks, including Mark Cuban, who committed his NBA franchise to wearing only Browndages. This is a terrific example of how to support Black owned businesses AND to learn how to pursue our mompassions.  Tune in at 6pm EST on Apple podcasts, Stitcher, Amazon Music, or click on link in bio to hear this episode.

Jenny Triplett is a multimompreneur, author, and podcaster who joins us today to share her POV on surviving marriage, also the title of her podcast! Jenny and her husband Rufus give us tips online and in their programs, and she shares how she survived her own marriage and kept the spark alive through love and loss.
We take a curve down the dowry lane based on a recent post that generated a lot of conversation @rufusandjenny, but we bring it back. Her take on the Islamic marriage is conservative, so apply what works for you as we have. Feminists, take a deep breath. There is learning here for all of us, especially because the Black Muslim experience is different in key ways that many Muslims of immigrant heritage do not consider. Sit back and validate experiences.
Find out how couples can keep the spark alive in the bedroom through their decades together. It’s not all communication, but there are exercises we need to do outside of family logistics. This is the real meat of the episode, so don’t miss it!
Tune in at 6pm EST on Apple podcasts, Stitcher, Amazon Music or go to our website to listen right off the landing page.

​WOW! Let us apologize for the echo on this episode. However, we think it’s tolerable. Our DMs have been popping through the year with questions about yoni or vaginal steaming, so we needed to find a practitioner who knows more about this.
Chantal Blake joins us from Dakkar, crossing the sea just to teach us about the globally ancient science of yoni steaming, a technique that addresses common issues women encounter daily. Heavy periods, infertility, sexual issues, watch out! Steaming may be the key to plumper, healthier vulva and uterus. In addition, let’s talk herbs, hot and cold foods, and diet as it relates to overall women's health.
Of course, none of this episode is medical advice, but it is information about female reproductive and sexual wellness that we deserve to know is out there as an option when maybe we’ve hit a wall with everything else. Ask a doctor you trust, or check out our links in Shownotes for certified vaginal steaming practitioners near you.
Tune in at 6pm EST on Apple podcasts, Stitcher, Amazon Music or check out our website for easiest listening.

We kick off this podcast episode by apologizing to the Michigan Spartans! IFYKYK. Dr. Sadaf Lodhi OB/GYN sets us straight REAL fast on this episode! She is not only a practicing doctor to women, she is also host of The Muslim Sex Podcast and a certified Sex Coach. 
THEN we start talking about the good stuff to launch our “Muslim Moms Aren't Nuns” series this February. What are the silent conversations Muslims are having with themselves about sex, or what are the stories we make up about sex because we aren’t comfortable admitting what we don’t know? Where our sex baggage comes from boils down a lot to where our thoughts originate, and on our ability to separate THOUGHTS from FACTS. Let’s figure out where some of those thoughts are born and how to stop bearing them forward. 
What are the keys to raising our kids to have a healthy understanding of sex without making it sound too good to miss? Tune in at 6pm EST on Apple podcasts, Stitcher, Amazon Music or check out our website to listen to our episodes.
