In this episode of The Thinking Youth Podcast, we sit down with Ibtihal Abousaad. A key Organiser behind the campaign against Microsofts complicity. Microsoft recently announced that it will no longer supply cloud services to Israel’s cyberwarfare unit, the infamous Unit 8200. This significant move is the first time Microsoft has suspended services from Israel, due to mounting pressure over their complicity in Israel’s atrocities in Gaza.

In this episode of The Thinking Youth Podcast, we sit down with Shaykh Navaid Aziz, a Canadian Imam, scholar, and Director of Public Relations at the Islamic Information Society of Calgary and is with Yaqeen Institute. Known across the world for making classical Islamic knowledge accessible, Shaykh Navaid brings his experience as a community leader and teacher to help us understand money from an Islamic lens.

We talk about everything from building the ABCs of financial literacy, saving, budgeting, and investing, to understanding why the Sahabah like Uthman ibn Affan (RA) were wealthy and how they used their money for the Ummah. Shaykh Navaid also shares how Islamic finance can fight inequality, how to escape the modern rat race, and why money should always be a tool, not the ultimate goal.

If you’ve ever wondered whether wealth is a good or bad thing in Islam, how to avoid riba without falling behind, or what financial habits you need to build as a young Muslim, this conversation will give you both practical steps and spiritual perspective; including amazing duas that you don't want to miss!

The Ummah was afflicted by 2 occupations in 1948, the occupation of Palestine and the occupation of East Turkestan. Yet, the Ummah speaks very little about the Uyghur cause for their homeland, and the two causes have very clear parallels that we often overlook. How come we don't speak about the Uyghurs in the same framing as Palestine? We invited Guzelya Marisova, an Uyghur author and activist, to help us answer this question.
