The Muslim Podcaster

In this episode, I’m joined by co-hosts Rash and JK as we dive into the recent re-election of Donald Trump as US president and its implications for Gaza and the West Bank. Given Trump’s track record and his history of actions supporting “Israel,” we discuss what his win could mean for the region moving forward. We also address the recent riots in Amsterdam following the Ajax vs. Maccabi Tel Aviv match and examine how the media and the Western narrative have shaped this incident. Instead of revealing the full context, they’ve spun it as an anti-Semitic, anti-Israeli issue, portraying the Israelis as victims while the true story tells something starkly different. Join us for a discussion on the real implications of these events and the narratives being crafted in the West.

In this episode, I’m joined by Muttaqi Ismail, host of the Islamic History Podcast. As the US presidential election looms, we explore whether American Muslims face a dilemma in choosing between parties entangled in the ongoing genocide in Gaza. Are the Democrats – led by Kamala Harris – about to face a backlash for their complicity? Or does the alternative mean endorsing Trump, despite his legacy of anti-Islamic policies? Together, we unpack whether this election offers hope for Gaza or simply extends America’s history of hollow promises. Join us as we confront these tough choices and examine what’s truly at stake for Muslims and beyond.

In this episode, I’m joined by co-hosts JK and Khairul as we reflect on the year since October 7th. We revisit the lies that were spread on that day—claims of 40 beheaded babies, mass rape, and more—used as propaganda to justify "Israel’s" brutal actions. We explore how these fabrications were weaponised to fuel an ongoing genocide in Gaza, which has now expanded to Lebanon. We also examine the response of the Ummah to the atrocities and assess what has been achieved in the face of such overwhelming oppression. Tune in for a critical review of October 7th and the following devastating year.

In this episode, I'm joined by Rash and JK as we unpack "Israel's" recent military operations in the West Bank, where specific refugee camps were targeted, civilian infrastructure destroyed, and large parts of the population left without necessities such as water. With 80% of Jenin's residents affected, these tactics mirror those used in Gaza. But why is "Israel" carrying out such ruthless attacks in the West Bank, where Hamas has no presence and no hostages are being held? Could this be part of a larger plan to complete the takeover of historic Palestine, first initiated in 1948? We also explore the collaboration between the Zionists and so-called Muslim regimes in the region, as well as the increasing frequency of settler violence against Palestinians. Join us for this crucial conversation on the future of the Middle East.

In Episode 92, I am joined by Hema Luqman to delve into the profound and often misunderstood concept of dua, particularly in the context of the ongoing genocide in Gaza. As ten months have passed and the bloodshed continues, many Muslims are grappling with questions about the effectiveness of their prayers: Why hasn't the genocide stopped? Is Allah (SWT) not hearing our pleas? We explore these difficult questions, especially in light of the Prophet’s (saw) teaching that dua is the weapon of the believer.

In this episode, we explain what dua truly is and its purpose and clarify its significance as an action. We confront the misconception that dua is a direct method of change, examining the principles of cause and effect within the universal laws of Allah (SWT). Join us as we unpack why dua alone may not bring about the change we seek and what our role as Muslims entails in the face of such profound challenges.

In Episode 91, we dive into the recent UK riots with special guest Muttaqi Ismail, host of the Islamic History Podcast. What began as a reaction to the tragic deaths of three young girls quickly spiralled into far-right, anti-Islam, and anti-migration unrest. We explore various angles—who sparked these riots? Why did they escalate, and who stands to gain from the chaos? Together, we uncover the deeper issues of Islamophobia, far-right ideologies, and the historical tensions that fuel this unrest. We also tackle the surprising and controversial responses from online personalities like Andrew Tate, Sneako, and Myron Gaines, who have weighed in with their own views on race and migration. This is a must-listen episode that challenges the mainstream narrative and digs into the tough questions others avoid.

Prepare for a provocative and unfiltered discussion in ep 90, featuring the outspoken Maulana Sikander Iqbal, host of the Voice of Truth podcast., as we delve into Nigel Farage's controversial claims that young British Muslims despise British values and that nearly half support Hamas. We question the very notion of "British values" and whether Muslims can—or should—conform to them. Is the push for "British Islam" a calculated attempt to dilute the faith? Maulana Sikander pulls no punches as he exposes the dangers of this agenda. We also tackle the real causes behind the recent UK riots, questioning whether they were simply violent outbursts or a response to the relentless demonisation of Islam. As the West becomes increasingly hostile, we confront a radical question: Should Muslims abandon the West altogether? This explosive episode is sure to challenge your views and spark fierce debate. Don’t miss it.
