The Islamic Pod

In this Video: We talked about holding grudges. We discussed how this can take a toll on your own mind, body, and soul as well as how to begin the process of letting go of those grudges and forgiving those who make you feel like you need to hold a grudge.

In this Video: We talked about Backbiting. We discussed both being on the receiving end of backbiting as well as being the one who Backbites others. We further discussed how to handle it if things are being said against you but more importantly how to reduce and realize the dangers of backbiting others.

In this Video: We talked about hypocrisy. Within Islam there are two main ways of interpreting this. Hypocrisy of the faith, and hypocrisy of actions. We focused on the latter of actions. Hypocrisy of faith is at its core saying one is a muslim but internally believing otherwise, we’re leaving that topic for another time. We focused on the hypocrisy of actions, which is what the western definition for the word “hypocrisy” means.

In this Video: We talked about how we ourselves balance personal choices. This encompasses topics such as who we choose to hang out with, who we call our friends, what kind of events and places we choose to go to or attend, and the personal choices we make on a daily basis in High school and College.

In this Podcast: We talked about how many we qualify success in this Dunya. We dive into what does it really mean to gain something in this life and define that a positive thing. We also talked about how we can work Ibadah (worship) into daily tasks rather than fully separating religion as merely a part of our lives versus a way to live life.

In this Video: We talked about how many High school and College students face a dilemma when it comes to balancing ambition and the career with religion and faith. And this is something even we are currently figuring out for ourselves. But in this episode we talk about some methods we use to prioritize our Deen over the material world.

We talked about a few different types of Social Media including Instagram, TikTok, and Snapchat. Primarily we focused on its effects and how we navigate these apps as Young Muslims in America. Our main takeaway is that while none of us are perfect its, important to stay aware and cognizant of the place Social Media has in our lives.

In this video We talked about drinking, smoking, and drug usage and how that while muslim Highschooler's/college students grow up, they have to inevitably confront these realities of life in societies where it may be the norm.
