  • A Pharmacy student living an expat life in USA, Omar Yassin Ft Ahad

    As December unfolds, we're back with another podcast episode where Ahad's microphone ventures into Arizona, USA. In this engaging conversation, Ahad dives into the fascinating journey of a young pharmaceutical doctor, Omar, as he shares his experience transitioning into expat life in the United States. Driven by a profound passion for science, Omar follows his father's footsteps into pharmacology but charts a different path by aiming for an industry role over academia.

Now navigating student life in the USA, Omar adeptly handles the responsibilities of single living, balancing chores, academics, and building new connections. Reflecting on his religious background, Omar expresses gratitude for his father's guidance and the freedom to make personal choices. As he delves deeper into understanding his parents' efforts in maintaining a balanced family structure, Omar develops a profound appreciation for family values, recognizing their unique significance in the cultural landscape of the United States.

  • Is it really about Israel vs Palestine?

    Friday has arrived, and Ahad and Mudassir are once again engaged in a conversation, this time centered around a highly sensitive topic. They are digging into the global implications on mental health stemming from the ongoing situation in Palestine and Israel. The duo finds themselves grappling with the question of whether it is imperative for individuals to care deeply about this issue, given that they already have their own personal challenges to contend with. The conflict in these two nations, which seems uncontrollable, has led to a collective preoccupation with determining right from wrong, often at the expense of addressing how it fuels tribalism and sparks unwarranted anger on both sides, thereby contributing to heightened global tensions. It's important to note that their focus is not on taking sides but rather on empathizing with the human emotions that are deeply affected by the distressing state of affairs.

  • How to know you are making a morally sound decision?

    Ahad and Mudassir, the co-host duo, are tackling the complex challenge of maintaining moral consistency in today's intricate world. They acknowledge the difficulties of this task, given the nuanced nature of contemporary life where every decision is scrutinized, and not all choices are well-received. They highlight the example of the COVID-19 pandemic when morally consistent decisions were hard to determine. On one hand, there was an argument for a potentially immoral strategy, such as allowing older COVID-19 patients to succumb to the virus for economic and environmental reasons. However, this conflicted with humanitarian principles and raised ethical questions about valuing human life and the importance of empathy. Achieving moral consistency in today's world demands careful consideration of the consequences of our choices, a deep grasp of ethical principles, and unwavering commitment to our values, even when faced with tough decisions.
