Why would a Uyghur activist visit Israel? And what does that reveal about the way Muslims navigate justice in today's political landscape?
In this episode, we are joined by a Uyghur activist to explore China's persecution of the Uyghur people, his controversial visit to Israel, and the difficult questions that arise when every side seeks to claim, or discredit, your cause.

Together, we discuss Xinjiang, Palestine, the silence of many Muslim governments, nationalism, the Ummah, and why standing for one oppressed people should never require abandoning another.

In this episode, we are joined by a leading businesswoman and marketer Sarah Su who has worked with some of the world's biggest companies to exploring the unexpected journey that led her to Islam. Together, we discuss growing up in an atheist culture, the search for meaning beyond professional success, life as a Muslim in China, and how Islam challenged everything she thought she knew about purpose, identity, and healing. After achieving the career so many aspire to, she discovered that success alone couldn't answer life's deepest questions.

What happens when, instead of searching for Islam, it feels like Islam finds you?

Why do so many Muslims feel intellectually insecure today?

In this episode, we are joined again by Ustadh Saad Yacoob to explore how the history of debate in the Muslim world, from the influence of Aristotle to the impact of colonialism, has shaped the way Muslims think, argue, and understand their faith today.
Together, we discuss righteousness, justice, revelation, the thought of Muhammad Iqbal, and why the modern culture of debate may reveal a deeper crisis: many Muslims have come to defend Islam on someone else's terms rather than their own.

Has modern debate brought Muslims closer to the truth? … or further away from it?

British Muslims are often spoken about as outsiders, immigrants, or a “problem” Britain must manage.But what if the history of Islam in Britain tells a much deeper story?In this episode of The Ansari Podcast, we sit down with Paul Williams of Blogging Theology to explore the untold history of British Muslims — from early Muslim presence in the UK, to the hundreds of thousands of Muslims who fought for the British Empire, to the postwar workers from Pakistan, India, Bangladesh, and other former colonies who helped rebuild modern Britain through factories, mills, transport, the NHS, small businesses, mosques, and working-class communities.We discuss Islam in the UK, British identity, post-Christian Britain, immigration, anti-Muslim panic, Tommy Robinson, Christian nationalism, the Pakistani grooming gangs scandal, poverty among UK Muslims, Palestine, Israel, Zionism, and whether Britain is facing a deeper spiritual crisis than it wants to admit.British Muslims did not build Britain alone. But Muslims helped build the Britain we know today.So why are so many treated as if they don’t belong?00:00 British Muslims Built Britain04:15 The Growing Muslim Problem10:58 DebtDoc X Provision Capital12:30 How Poor Are UK Muslims?22:50 Is the UK a dead Empire?27:30 UK History & The Immigrant problem today31:33 Become an Ansari!

Why is the Democratic establishment terrified of Abdul El-Sayed winning Michigan? What does a senator funded by individual donors do differently than one answering to lobbyists? How will a Muslim candidate survive the attacks awaiting him in the Senate? When you have $2.3M in foreign PAC money flooding a primary, can real grassroots politics still win? And what happens to progressive policy when you're facing both parties in Congress?

Join us for a conversation with Michigan's most controversial senatorial candidate. We break down why James Carville and Democratic insiders are actively working to keep him out. Abdul walks us through his entire platform: removing lobbyists, Medicare for All in Michigan, and actually representing working people instead of corporate interests. We dive into his controversial decision to campaign with Hasan Piker, the viral moment he called out Haley Stevens' funding on stage, what it means to be the first Muslim Senator in American history, and the unfiltered answer every voter needs to hear about how to actually win in a rigged system.

This isn't polished politics. This is what happens when a candidate refuses to play the game.

Islam is spreading across East Asia — and the rise of Muslims in China, Taiwan, Japan, and Korea could reshape the future of the Muslim world. As China becomes a global superpower and the West declines in influence, Muslim immigrants, converts, and native East Asian Muslims may become one of the most important religious communities in a Chinese-dominated world order.In this episode of The Ansari Podcast, we sit down with Imam Abdullah Cheng, a Taiwanese Muslim imam and computer scientist from a convert background, to explore the future of Islam in China, Taiwan, Japan, and East Asia. We discuss the history of Islam in China, the difference between Uyghur Muslims and Hui Muslims, Hui Muslim cuisine and culture, Islam in Taiwan, dawah in China, Korea, and Japan, and why more East Asians are becoming interested in Islam.We also explore the rise of Islam in Japan, Japan’s masculinity crisis, declining birthrates, loneliness, mental health, marriage collapse, and how Islam offers answers to young men and women searching for meaning. From anime and Eastern storytelling to Islamic dawah, Muslim identity, Chinese atheism, communism, and the treatment of Muslims in China, this conversation reveals why East Asia may become one of the most important frontiers for Islam in the 21st century.JOIN OUR WEBSITE MEMBERSHIP! @ https://ansaripodcast.com*The Debt Clinic*: https://www.mydebtclinic.com/ansari*Provision Capital:* https://www.provisioncapital.com00:00 What is Life Like For Muslims in Taiwan?05:02 The History of Islam in China08:20 Ad09:51 The Difference Between Uyghur and Hui Muslims12:42 Hui Muslim Cuisine and Culture21:35 The Future of Islam in China32:37 Muslims Becoming the Irish of China34:44 How Dawah is Done in China, Korea, and Japan37:24 Rise of Islam in Japan39:56 The Masculinity and Mental Health Crisis in Japan48:57 Why is Islam Rising Quickly in Japan vs Taiwan51:32 How Muslims Could Use The Power of Anime01:03:00 Ad01:03:30 What is Actually Happening to Muslims in China?01:09:54 Chinese Atheist Communists Worse than Western Powers?01:16:18 Final Thoughts#China #Japan #muslim #podcast #chinesemuslim #japanesemuslim #chinesefood #japaneseculture #islam #dawah *Listen on All Audio Platforms:* https://tr.ee/JeX-ILYSyj*Follow The Ansari Podcast**Instagram:* https://instagram.com/ansaripodcast*TikTok:* https://tiktok.com/@theansaripodcast*Twitter/X:* https://twitter.com/ansaripodcast

Mufti Hussain Kamani is one of the most respected Islamic scholars in America, a qualified Mufti and jurist authorized to issue fatwa, and the former Director of Qalam Seminary joins Ansari on The Ansari Podcast for a powerful conversation on Dajjal, the Antichrist, Surah Al-Kahf, anger, fitna, materialism, and how Muslims can protect their iman in the end times.The world feels angrier, more distracted, more divided, and more spiritually numb than ever before. Is this just the result of politics, social media, trauma, and modern life — or are we watching the stage quietly being set for the greatest deception mankind will ever face? Mufti Kamani explains why rage keeps rising, what happens when the intellect shuts down, how heedlessness destroys the heart, and why the warnings of the Quran and Sunnah feel so urgent in the age we are living through right now.In this deep-dive episode, Mufti Kamani breaks down the Islamic framework for understanding anger, the spiritual danger of ghaflah, the lessons of Surah Al-Kahf, the San Diego tragedy, the moral corruption of the “Epstein class,” and how runaway materialism, distraction, and dunya-worship are preparing people for the fitnah of Dajjal. We also discuss tazkiyah, purification of the heart, optimism in chaotic times, how to stay spiritually awake, and what it means to live with purpose when the modern world is designed to make you forget Allah.Mufti Kamani also opens up about why he left Qalam Seminary after more than a decade, what he is building next, his message to current and former Qalam students, and what it means to serve the Muslim Ummah in a time of confusion, corruption, and spiritual warfare.This conversation is about faith, anger, fear, deception, purpose, and survival — for every Muslim trying to keep their heart alive in the modern age.JOIN OUR WEBSITE MEMBERSHIP! @ https://ansaripodcast.com*Join The Cosmos Club Newsletter:* https://www.ansaripodcast.com/cosmos-club*The Debt Clinic*: https://www.mydebtclinic.com/ansari*Provision Capital:* https://www.provisioncapital.com00:00 Join Our Community!01:20 Dajjal is Near, the World is Full of Anger07:56 We're Being Attacked from All Sides14:36 What if you have too much anger?16:06 Ad18:07 The Deception of the Antichrist25:22 How Vulnerable are We to the AntiChrist?30:52 What's the Point if the AntiChrist is Coming soon?43:00 Ad43:45 What Does the Quran Say About Surviving?59:43 Purification of the Heart in Era of the Epstein Class01:07:56 How to Be Optimistic in This Chaotic World01:21:54 Why Mufti Kamani Left Qalam Seminary01:33:22 A Message to Qalam Students01:36:28 Member Questions!01:38:19 Speed Round Questions01:44:52 Outro#dajjal #antichrist #muftikamani #qalam #podcast #anger*Listen on All Audio Platforms:* https://tr.ee/JeX-ILYSyj*Follow The Ansari Podcast**Instagram:* https://instagram.com/ansaripodcast*TikTok:* https://tiktok.com/@theansaripodcast*Twitter/X:* https://twitter.com/ansaripodcast
