  • Relationships Before Islam

    Relationships Before Islam
    May 24 2023
    What happens when someone becomes muslim whilst they’re in a relationship with someone; such as being married, having a long term partner, or having a boyfriend or girlfriend?

    This person could be someone they love very dearly and care for. They may have been with eachother for many years, or even have children together.

    Does it mean that because one of them has become muslim and the other hasn’t, that eveything comes to an end?

    The relationship’s over and they have to seperate or divorce?

    Or can they still be together, living their lives as they did before?

    This episode is based on Ibn Qayyim’s work ‘Ahkam Ahl al-Dhimma’ as well as religious verdicts of contemporary scholars.

    I'm muslim, what next?
    Oct 6 2022
    Once someone becomes muslim, what should they do next?

    Are there things they should do straight away, such as praying, changing their name or taking a shower or bath?

    Should they start dressing up in a certain way or prepare to move to a muslim country?

    Are there things that are more important to do than others?

    In this episode I speak about what someone should do once they've entered Islam.

  • Funerals of Non-Muslim Relatives

    Funerals of Non-Muslim Relatives
    Aug 25 2022
    What if a non-muslim relative dies, such as a parent, child, sibling, uncle or aunt?

    Can a muslim attend their funeral?

    What about the funeral procession, the burial, cremation or visiting the grave afterwards?

    This episode is specifically regarding the funerals of non-muslim relatives and not other non-muslims (who aren’t relatives).

    Following the funeral processions of non-muslim relatives, burying them or attending their burial are all matters that the great scholars of Islam have differed concerning.

    This episode presents the evidences of the scholars who hold that it is allowed for a muslim to follow the funeral processions of non-muslim relatives, bury them or attend their burial.

    There are also many muslim scholars who hold that all of these things are prohibited because they are all considered to be ‘honoring and revering’ non-muslims (إكرام) and manifestations of having allegiance to non-muslims and showing loyalty to them (موالاة) which Allah the most high has forbidden.

    May Allah protect all the scholars of Islam and show mercy to those who have passed away.

  • Overcoming Bad Habits

    Overcoming Bad Habits
    Aug 3 2022
    Alcohol and other drug addictions, adultery and premarital relations, watching pornography, theft, violence, bad character traits like lying and backbiting as well as sicknesses of the heart like arrogance and envy can all be common practices for people before Islam and become serious demons to fight against when they become muslim.

    And many of us may strive to cut these bad habits out of our lives, and are even able to stop doing them for a while, but sooner or later, we end up going back to them.

    We know what we’re doing is wrong, but just can’t seem to stop doing it.

    In this episode I speak about some of the ways in which we can overcome the bad habits we have and the sins we commit.

  • Loneliness

    Loneliness
    Apr 6 2022
    Loneliness is something that many, if not all reverts feel at some point in their journey as a muslim.

    Without muslim family members or friends around to support them, they can often feel alone and isolated, which can sometimes make practicing their faith that much more of a challenge.

    In this episode, I speak about being lonely as a revert during religious festivals such as Ramadan and Eid and some of the ways reverts can deal with it.
