So this unintentionally turned out to be an Eid special haha. On this week's episode, we have the one and only WayofLifeSQ! He's an incredible social media personality that has amassed over a hundred thousand followers on Instagram and is currently making his way to dominate the Youtube game as well, and even making headway on TikTok! Viewers of his gravitate towards his content due to his energetic persona and raw delivery. Of course, what comes with that is controversy at times. We talk about all of that and if you're interested in the world of content creation in general, you'll love this episode!

Learning a new language can be pretty daunting, especially when you go at it from a more academic standpoint. Many of us may have lost that sense of wonder we once had for different cultures and now don't really have that yearning anymore to tap into a new language. Although everyone can agree that this is one of the most beautiful steps you can take for positive personal development, few of us take that leap. Especially for Muslims, learning Arabic opens up a whole new world of understanding the Qur'an, the word of Allah SWT.  Interview with Hanan and Al-Andalus Institute: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aJ7FQtxYy2I  If you want to check out Al-Andalus Institute, you can find them here: https://www.andalusinstitute.com/studentreferral "The Journey of a thousand miles begins with one step."

The past few weeks have been full of stories from victims of abuse calling out their abusers. Especially in the South Asian community, there's been a massive influx of names being called out for these heinous acts. As men and particularly as brown men, what's our job in this? It's clear we need to do better. But how?

It's been months since we've last uploaded, but we're back!...Kinda. You'll notice some few changes, most obvious being that Iffad isn't a co-host anymore. Much love to him still and we hope you continue to support him on his personal endeavors ❤️.   On this episode, we brought on a friend of the show, Helal Chowdhury! We talk about some of our stories back in high school, bridging the gap between a British and American identity, then delve into some spirituality, talking about aspects of our journey to God. Overall, this was a fairly casual and lax episode without much structure. Hope you guys enjoy!

Happiness is something everyone sort of strives for, but never really understands what to do to get there. Or is there even such a thing as true happiness? A lot of us are living day to day wondering about this question, without going for concrete ways to gain it. We don't have all the answers, but our choices and ideas are what will determine if we're happy or not. Or will we ever be?  Tune in for more conversations like this every Friday at 6pm!

Insecurities; We all live with them. They come in the form of physical "imperfections," shortcomings in character, lack of material success, etc. They affect the self esteem and overall mental health of all of us. It's not always easy to stop overthinking or simply "get out of your head," but a sign of progress is doing just that. A part of the human experience is being able to grow stronger day by day, and that doesn't always have to be alone. Your mind is your most important tool so it's crucial that it gets treated right.

This was a more relaxed, unstructured episode in comparison to some of the previous weeks. We had a great time catching up with him. #jokes #rants #friends  Join us every Friday at 6pm for more discussions like this!   ********************************************************************

In life, the relationships you build, maintain, and choose to break are crucial factors that make up who you end up becoming. You're the person that ultimately chooses for yourself which paths to go forth on, but as the saying goes, "You're the average of the five people you spend the most with." Choosing who those people are is an important aspect of your life you may want to consistently reconsider. Loving another person and making them your companion is one of the most beautiful experiences of our existence. But, be sure to share yourself to only those that deserve you. You are you, but your friends add to the make up of you. And it's imperative you choose the right ones.
