CAN MUSLIMS TRUST THEIR CHARITIES?

In recent times, we have have seen various online dramas unfold regarding the legitimacy or unsavoury practices of certain charities, which often leads the Muslim community to wonder: Can we trust our charities? How can Muslim charities uphold the values of amanah (trust) in handling funds? Do charities have the right governance and processes in place? Should charities be ‘Cancelled’ by the Muslim community? Join us this Monday as we speak to a critical insider from within the Muslim charity sphere, Ustadh Rehan Salim about the above and more.

It seems that Pornography is the pandemic nobody talks about, yet it's the one that has plagued individuals, marriages, and families all over the world for decades. Join us for a conversation with Dr. Omar Husain who dedicated his PhD to studying pornography in the Muslim community, and has a wealth of experience in understanding its causes, effects, and solutions. This will be an important one for parents, community activists, and Muslims from all walks of life.

Have you Ditched the Idea of Getting Hitched?

Marriage holds very little importance in modern society. For many, the whole process seems outdated and even the idea of marrying the wrong person puts many Muslims off from taking that big step.

Join us tonight with Ustadh Shabbir Hassan - Founder of The Nikah Co., who has conducted over 500 Nikkahs - as we delve into why Islam promotes marriage, why it is beneficial to society and why we need to dust off the cloudy lens through which we currently view marriage in today's times.
