The MSA Take

SEASON FOUR FINALE!!!

Join our hosts Hiba and Eeman as they embark on a deep dive through the fictional works of New York Times bestselling Author S.K. ALI! We must know that the narratives that we absorb shape our IDENTITY and WORLDVIEWS. And so what does it mean for a Muslim to venture into the world of storytelling, where each and every line may just alter the trajectory of a reader's life? And to perhaps, take up authorship yourself? :O

Do NOT miss this final PODCAST with our esteemed guest S.K. Ali! Out now on Youtube, Spotify and RSS

S4 EP7: EXPLORING NASEEHA

In this episode, our sisters Hiba and Eeman explore the intricacies of Naseeha and how it reflects growing isolation in our communities today. How do we feel when we receive advice? And how do we behave when giving it? Why is Naseeha essential in building close-knit communities? When we forget to ground our communities in the Qur'an and Sunnah, insecurities prey on us and seek to distort the blessed practices, like that of Naseeha. Amidst all the daily hubbub, join us in reflecting upon the deep, inextricable link that our communal (and individual) well-being yearns for.

S4 EP6: FACETS OF THE PROPHET ﷺ Our Brothers Zakariya and Omar delve into a deep, insightful discussion over the dimensions of our Beloved Prophet ﷺ Who was he around his Family, his Companions or against his enemies? Did the Prophet ﷺ treat everyone the same or did he vary his dealings with calculated grace and humility? How did his ﷺ character initiate such an expansive influence throughout his immediate and wider circles? Learn how to better yourself in any situation by attempting to emulate actions powered by one thought—"what would the Prophet ﷺ have done?"

Join our sisters Hiba and Eeman as they dive into the Test of Freedom with Sister Ramia Abdo Sultan! The modern world has eschewed the true meaning of “freedom,” and it is our prerogative to understand freedom through the lens of Islam. How can we be unapologetically muslim in a secular context? How can this narrative of defining freedom shift in the university and wider context? Come and find out today!

S4 EP4: WHY YOU ARE WRONG ABOUT SUCCESS w/ Faraz Nomani

Tune in to understand success as a Muslim, from someone who has been in your shoes!

Join our inspiring sisters Hiba & Eeman as we explore what it truly means to succeed as Muslims 🌙🧕🏽 From worldly goals to spiritual growth, from delving into the meaning of success, and determining which metrics truly measure it. Have you truly failed if you do not live up to the standards of society, or yourself? Does success include the dunya AND the deen? How can we attain and work towards a true notion of success? Explore these powerful questions through the lens of Islam in this heart-filled episode
