In the first have, we are visited by elite fitness trainer Siddiqu Muhammad. We hear about his motivations as a trainer and the importance of how to approach food and training the correct way. Ma-sha-Allah, the brother uses some principles from the Sunnah (way of the Prophet p.b.u.h.) in his regimen.

Then in the second half, we are joined by Peter Alter of the Chicago History Museum (formerly known as the Chicago Historical Society). We learn about many interesting quirks in Chicago's history, and about the role of immigrants in shaping the city. There's also a new project in the works recording the oral history of Muslims in Chicago.

In this edition of Radio Islam we open the episode with a quick reflection on Dr. Bambade Shakoor-Abdullah's impact on Chicago's activist community and how that impact was visible in the diversity of people present at her Janaza (funeral) prayer.

We get the show going with Radio Islam Host Tariq El-Amin and Assistant Producer "The Impressive One" Ibrahim Baig offering their thoughts on the results of the special Senate election in Alabama, where Republican--Roy Moore was narrowly defeated by Democrat--Doug Jones.

In the second half of the show, we talk with Margari Aziza Hill, Co-founder & Co-Director of Muslim Anti-Racism Collaborative (ARC). We talk with Margari about the mission of Muslim ARC, the intersections of Race and Religion, how Muslim ARC educates for liberation and some of the challenges in their work. Margari also shares some of their current initiatives and talks about how Muslim ARC has made itself part of the Physical community of Detroit with its Muslim ARC House.

You can find out more about Muslim ARC at www.muslimarc.org and support their Muslim ARC House at http://detroit.muslimarc.org/

In this edition of Radio Islam we reflect on the passing of 69th anniversary of International Human Rights day by talking with Dr. Aminah Al-Deen (DePaul University)and Bakary Tandia (Abolition Institute Co-founder)& Minister Lynda Holiday Lawrence (Board Member of Abolition Institute) about today's fight for Human Rights in Libya & Mauritania, where slavery still exists.

CNN recently released a report showing "Open Air" slave markets in Libya. Regarding Mauritania, it is the last nation in the world to outlaw slavery, doing so in 1981. Even still, 10% of its 4.4 million citizens are estimated to be enslaved.
