    Apr 4 2025

    Whether it’s losing a loved one, going through heartbreak or missing an opportunity, we all grieve at some point in life. Many Muslims around the world are grieving the loss of innocence and holding unto Allah by a thread of faith. What’s the formula for rebuilding your life when the unimaginable happens?

  • Muslim, Feminist and Proud
    Mar 7 2025

    Is Islam really anti-feminist, or have we all just been lost in translation? 🤔 From the very beginning, women’s rights have been safeguarded in Islam—long before modern feminism was even a thing.

    In this episode of The HSM Tribecast, Wardah Abbas joins me as we dive into the real tea: Is Islam patriarchal? Is feminism, at its core, actually aligned with our deen? If both men and women are equal before Allah, where’s the conflict? Let’s break it down, challenge the myths, and maybe even change a few minds along the way. Tune in! 🎧✨
