Two months on, the ceasefire is often described as progress—but life on the ground tells a different story. In this episode of the Narrative House Podcast, we look past official statements and headlines to examine what the ceasefire actually delivered, who it benefits, and why violence, pressure, and control never truly stopped.

Our guest breaks down the events that led to the deal, the repeated violations that followed, and the broader regional dynamics shaping what comes next. This is a grounded, honest conversation about why pauses in war are not the same as justice—and why the struggle, for many, is far from over.

In this episode of the Narrative House Podcast, we sit with a Palestinian community leader and youth mentor who reflects on faith, family and resistance through deeply personal experience. He shares the story of his grandmother, born in pre-’48 Jerusalem, whose displacement during the Nakba and lifelong devotion to Allah shaped his own understanding of character and iman. The conversation moves through the often-ignored British role in Palestine, the rise of Zionist militias and the limitations of narratives presented in films like Palestine ’36.

We explore his founding of Yasin Youth and how immersive trips to Makkah and Madinah, alongside youth centres, sports programmes, mentoring and counselling, have transformed the lives of young Muslims in the UK. He explains the real challenges facing today’s youth and why empathy, presence and prophetic character are essential to guiding them.

Raised Catholic. The media made him an islamophobe at 16. Studying Islam and Islamic history to dismantle it led him embracing Islam. Now Pablo is studying Islamic history to dismantle the lies we’ve been fed about Islam, the Muslim Golden Age, and the legacy of civilizations like Al-Andalus. In this powerful episode, we uncover the truth the West wants you to forget — and why it matters more than ever.

A once-great civilization could never have imagined the decline that would lead to 23 months of unrelenting brutality in Gaza. But the road to this catastrophe wasn’t paved in days — it was laid over a century of erosion. From the shuttering of the Gates of Ijtihad to the fall of the Caliphate, from the colonial rewriting of Muslim identity to the rise of nationalist idols replacing divine unity — this is the anatomy of an ummah dismembered.

In this explosive episode of the Narrative House Podcast, Dr. Khaled Al Owaisi returns to trace the arc of the Muslim world’s collapse to learn lessons and perhaps, find the first spark of something new.

Modi’s embrace of Israel is a not new chapter in India's history but a continuity emerging from a Hindutva mindset to build a capitalist nation. In his book Hostile Homelands, Azad Essa uncovers how this secret alliance began during Nehru's India soon after independence while overtly supporting Palestine. Abdullah Andalusi sits down with him to explore how ties between the two countries go back decades, rooted in military deals, shared tactics of repression, and rising ethno-nationalism from Kashmir to Gaza.
