What should reverts do about Arabic?

Do they have to learn it or not?

Can someone be a practicing muslim and not know Arabic?

In this episode, I speak about whether or not muslims have to learn Arabic and some of the benefits that learning Arabic can provide for muslims.

Saying the shahada (the declaration of faith) to enter islam and become a muslim is often the easiest part for many reverts.

It’s staying on the path and remaining firm in Islam where many of us struggle.

In this episode, I speak about some of the ways in which muslims can remain firm in their religion and continue to practice their faith.

What does Islam say about recreation and leisure?

Is it allowed?

Can a muslim play sports, have hobbies or interests?

Can someone truly be an upright, practicing muslim and still take part in recreational activities?

In this episode I speak about recreation and leisure from an Islamic perspective.

Upon accepting Islam, many reverts might want to learn more about their faith, but aren’t sure where to start or what to start learning about. They might also be encouraged to learn by other muslims but aren’t shown exactly how to do this.

And without proper guidance in this issue, a muslim might go on for years without learning anything or could even go astray.


So upon accepting Islam, what should new muslims learn about?

Are there some things that you have to or don’t have to know?

And do all muslims have to learn?

In this episode I speak about what things new muslims should learn about.

What should a revert do regarding their non-muslim friends they knew before Islam?

How should they interact with them?

Should they just wash their hands of them and abandon them?

Or should they continue to accompany them and socialize with them?

In this episode I speak about how to interact with non-muslim friends.

Dealing with non-muslim relatives can sometimes be the most difficult things new muslims have to cope with and if Allah’s guidance isn’t followed in this regard, it can often lead to more harm than good.

Who are relatives in Islam? And how should a muslim interact with them? And what if they aren’t muslim?

In this episode I speak about how to interact with relatives in Islam and how a muslim should interact with them if they aren't muslim.

How should a new muslim deal with their non-muslim parents?

Should they treat them well or treat them badly?

Should they cut them off or should they stay in contact?

If they do stay in contact with them, then how can reverts deal with the harms they might face?

And can they still love their non-muslim parents and relatives?

In this episode I speak about the status of parents in Islam and how a muslim should interact with their non-muslim parents.

When some people accept Islam, they might be quick to get involved in ‘dawah’ - ‘propagation’ and inviting others to Islam and encouraging people to follow them in their new way of life.

They also might start having religious discussions and debates with their friends, family, colleagues and other people they meet.

This can sometimes result in the new muslim being bombarded with questions they can’t answer or even escalate to arguments and confrontations.

And because the revert strongly believes that Islam is the truth and they want to defend it and not be ‘defeated’ in argument or remain silent when asked questions, they might be tempted to say things about Islam, without actually knowing whether it’s true or not or to say things they aren’t sure about.

In this episode I speak about what a muslim should do when they're asked questions they don't know the answer to.

This is an introduction to who I am and what this podcast is about.
