The Shaded Youth Podcast

On this very special episode, we have a dear friend that I've been thinking of having on for a while now, Gazi Ohi! Gazi is currently pursuing a master's in public health with the intention of going to medical school after, and alhamdulillah he's one of the most unique brothers I know (take that how you will Ohi 😁). On this week's episode, we talk about his experience with his childhood Qur'an teacher, the drive for wanting to be a doctor, and some funny stories from his MSA days 😉  

Hope you all enjoy!

On this episode, we have on Sheikh Abdullah Ayaz Mullanee from Canada, and we discuss a subject matter that pertains to an enormous part of our society these days- Mature Content and P*rn addiction. InshaAllah we can all benefit from frank and honest conversations like this.  

A brief bio of Sh. Abdullah: 

"After high school, he enrolled in the seven-year Alim program at Darul Uloom Zakariyya. During his stay there, he was taken under the wing of Mawlana Abdul Quddoos al-Qasmi. Under his guidance, he received additional training in Arabic literature, translation, and oration. He was the editor-in-chief for al-Nur magazine and a regular contributor and editor for various publications. He graduated in 2015, while maintaining one of the highest scores throughout his seven-year course.  He is passionately involved in several initiatives around Toronto and is regularly invited to speak at youth and community based events."
