Social Media consumption for humanity, in the beginning, felt like candy, not too sweet or sour, perfect in its taste. Eventually, it became a little dry, evolving into a drug in the form of Sweetarts that we consume to escape the realism of reality. Why so? Does a world that doesn’t exist; only virtually feel more refreshing than the physical world created by The Creator? Let alone, for this reason, we as humans are losers, often trying to live or project a lifestyle with no positive affluence as time continues in the medium of the internet age. Sarah Elnaffer, a titan in blogging, specialized in fashion, food, education, and motivation. Over time, real-life events and reflections have come to a better understanding and perspective about Social Media and the weight that her voice carries to her audience virtually and family in reality. It is a duality that humans were not ready for; be you, be happy and be positive is the pathway. Osama and Mohammed try to discover depths of solutions

Still, in the blessed month of Ramadan, introspective reflections exceed external matters. What are you thankful for? Do you realize how fortunate you are?

What is your life like? I don’t need the answer; I’m trying to maintain; my inner-peace within a rampant society; GOD, PLEASE KEEP ME SANE!

WAYS Episode 61: Are You Dealing With Anxiety? Ft Snoop

Well, are you?

Does anyone in your family know?

Are you tired of others identifying your symptoms with outrageous claims?

Have you gone to your doctor?

Snoop joins Osama & Mohammed for a discussion based on the complexity of anxiety and what comes with it. Many people who have it, especially young adults, often go through adulthood to internally create miscommunications with themselves and their loved ones. Snoop’s words are poetic yet insightful, offering a portal into her universe that most rarely have seen. She informs Osama & Mohammed about the weight of every decision that comes with having anxiety. A place that few can relate to; she offers wisdom on ways to deal with it, resources to reach out to and most importantly: LOVE, LOVE & LOVE for those who feel like they can’t do anything no matter what they do.

For Muslims around the world, the holy month of Ramadan is a glorious feeling! It is the month where Muslims complete an obligatory fast for thirty days. No food and yes, no water are apart of the conditions prescribed on us as part of fasting. Most people deem the concept as ‘unfit,’ ‘concerning,’ or ‘too much.’ It is the ultimate of blessings; a significant amount of dhikr becomes a snack, reciting Quran alongside the family becomes the meal, watching scholars give Tafseer on different subjects replenishes the soul. Essentially fasting during Ramadan is the perfect spiritual cleansing for us as human beings. Osama & Mohammed talk with Sheikh Ousama Alshurafa, Chief Marketing Officer for Manzil and the founder of The Muslim Hub, where he gives Muslims spiritual advice worldwide. He offers insights into how one should prepare for Ramadan, utilize the time during the whole month to reek all of its benefits, and advise how to keep the momentum after the month is over.

What an episode! Osama & Mohammed created this platform to speak, learn, evolve into LEADERS that’ll change the world with ease. Through conversations with beautiful people, we’ve allowed ourselves to become curious, aware, knowledgeable and thankful for the fruits of people’s labour. Benny is the CEO of Napizum, the magazine created to unify all ART platforms from creators whose voices are often lost or ignored due to societal norms. Benny is a photographer, capturing darkness while transforming into the light we arrogantly expect as humans. He’s a creative director, taking a vision from an artist and bridging different industries to function as one, giving us medicine from sacred camera lenses, a breath of life, which invigorates our minds! A concept that he continues to feed. Three individuals, different stories, cultures, and perspectives share a sentimental value about one’s purpose in life. To know what I’m talking about, you’ll have to listen and dream.

Mental Health is a timeless discussion for reasons we often neglect due to ignorance or lack of understanding; our choice to ignore the conversations leads to the demise of loved ones you didn’t realize that we’re going through it the entire time.
