    Sh. Yaser Birjas sat down to answer the questions y'all have sent in. If you want your questions answered by Sh. Yaser please fill out this form: https://happypeoplepod.com/contactus

    People think that women are oppressed by wearing hijab, is this true?

    How can I start wearing hijab?

    Are women who wear hijab less Muslim?

    Why are women cursed if they don't satisfy their husbands, but men aren't cursed if they don't satisfy their wives?

    Why is it so hard to find a good Muslim man for a husband? Especially if you are a convert/divorced/over the age of 22?

  • Episode 18 - Dedicating His Life To Making Connections - Sajjad Shah

    Sajjad Shaw is the man behind the viral instagram account: muslimsoftheworld1 and marketing director of Minder, a muslim marriage app. He was a CPA who left the corporate world behind to focus on telling stories, connecting people, and helping people find partners in a digital age where we are as isolated as we are linked. The driving mission of his life seems to be connection, but while talking to him I could see his connection isn’t with the trappings and pitfalls of this world, but with connecting people and striving for something greater than what this world provides.
