The Aida Azlin Show

My guest for today is someone whom you probably would have watched on YouTube before, or your parents might have sent a link to his video before, or you might even have followed his reversion process to Islam. He's none other than Daud Kim, a very popular Korean Muslim YouTuber, who's well known for his videos of sharing what it's like to be a Muslim in Korea. Fun fact, he was also the first ever TAAS guest whom I interviewed (so this is a special one!) and my conversation with him truly reminded me how important it is to stay curious and to keep learning about the Deen. We spoke about how Islam helped him overcome depression, his first experience with Solah, we spoke about the marriage proposals he has received lol, and so many other things! I can't wait for you guys to listen in. (This episode is proudly brought to you by http://aaplus.co/)

Joining me today is a super inspiring couple, hailing all the way from Granada, Spain: Imam Bashir and his wife, Sister Alia Diaz. I wanted them on my the show because their story is just so beautiful: both their parents were reverts who left their hometowns in Spain to make the migration or the Hijrah to Granada to be a part of a small Muslim community. That is also where Alia and Imam Bashir met, and their "halal" love story is one that is so pure and precious! I won't spoil it for you guys, but from Imam Bashir being the youngest Imam of Granada at 18, to Alia's contagious energy and her love for Arabic, and how they've travelled the world together with their family - you are bound to learn SO MANY things from them, I PROMISE!  (This episode is brought to you by https://aaplus.co/ )

Joining me today is Najwa Latif, the popular, well-beloved, singer-songwriter from Malaysia. Najwa, or Wawa, as some of us affectionately call her, is such a sweetheart, and there's a certain sense of calmness and humility that she exudes, which made it easy for me to fall in love with her. Having been a recording artist ever since she was 16, one could definitely tell how mature she is, even for her age. In this episode, Najwa shares more about how she started singing, how her amazing parents encouraged and motivated her and her sisters to pursue both music and academics, we even played a very "competitive" game in the middle of the episode and of course, how can I not ask her to sing in this episode too right?

Joining me today is the CEO of Safinah Institute, author of the best selling book, "The Art of Letting God", everyone's fav Ustaz - Ustaz Mizi Wahid! Ustaz Mizi and I go a long way back: he was my Kadi during my wedding, and it is not an exaggeration when I say that Ustaz Mizi's classes at Safinah are the #1 reason why I fell back in love with the Deen. In this episode, we spoke about so many things - from how he juggles his multiple roles, as a dad, a husband, a CEO, a writer, a podcaster etc etc, we spoke his beautiful daughter Hana, if MLM is haram, what he thinks of the term "celebrity Ustaz", how he became the man he is today and so much more!

Joining me this episode, is the adorable, the vivacious, and the charming Iman Azman. Iman is a mom, a writer, and one of the most authentic content creator out there - and in this episode, we spoke about so many things under the sun, such as what topic will be her TED talk about, if she ever had one, on how she's trying to not make any grand proclamations on anything this year, on loneliness, and even on Meghan Markle! This is honestly one of the most entertaining, most random, yet insightful conversations I've had in a while. (This episode is proudly sponsored by http://aaplus.co/ )

Joining me is the beautiful, the brave, the ball of energy that is Siu Lim - she's a single mom of 4, a Certified Pilates Instructor, a Content Creator and also a Lululemon Ambassador.  This episode was an emotional one for me as I listened through Siu Lim's story on her reversion to Islam, her experience with polygamy, her eventual divorce but also how all of this shaped the strong woman that she is today. By the end of it, my respect for Siu Lim increased a million fold and made me love her even more. (This episode is brought to you by aaplus.co)

I felt like the honorary 4th CQ sister in this episode as I sat down with Yana, Farah and Azrina Khairuddin in their beautiful CQ HQ in Shah Alam to talk about their 10-year journey of running a modest wear fashion business, the importance of minding our own business, bullying, which brand they would love to be sponsored by, who'd survive in Mars, and A LOT OF OTHER THINGS IN BETWEEN! This one made me laugh so much, I hope you guys will like it too! PS: This episode is proudly brought to you by aaplus.co

I sat down with Aiman Azlan on this episode and spoke about so many topics, ranging from light-hearted themes to more deeper issues and I learned so much from him. Aiman is incredibly inspiring, super positive and just all-round major good vibes kinda guy who has been creating quality content and serving his community for 8 years, so it was extremely humbling to hear and learn from his experiences. I hope you guys will love this one as much as I do! PS: This episode is proudly brought to you by aaplus.co.

Joining me in this inaugural episode is Asma' Nasaruddin, who is such a joy to be around with! She's one of my favourite people on the internet and she's also one of the few content creators who I believe truly shares because she genuinely cares for her community. On this episode, you'll get a chance to listen in to our super candid conversation on faith, fashion, love, her relationship with the Quran, the new business that she's working on, and so much more in between!
