In this episode of the BeQuran Podcast, Ali and Fatima uncover the long and painful history of Shia oppression, focusing on the region of Parachinar in Pakistan — a place often overlooked in both global and Muslim media.

With insights from Dr. Sayyed Ammar Nakshawani, they explore how historical neglect, sectarian manipulation, and political agendas have shaped a reality of violence and silence. From British colonialism to modern-day media bias, from Taliban influence to grassroots resilience — this episode connects the dots between past injustices and the struggles still unfolding today.

Through it all, one truth remains clear: true Islamic values call for universal justice, not selective empathy.
