• From Hollywood to Islam - A Jewish Women's Spiritual Journey
    Feb 27 2026

    In this episode of WISE Women with Daisy Khan with host Dr. Daisy Khan, Sheikha Maryam Kabeer, author of Journey Through 10,000 Veils, shares the extraordinary story of her lifelong spiritual unfolding - a journey that began in Hollywood and led her across continents in search of divine truth. Raised in a liberal Jewish family in California, she describes sensing from early childhood that her life carried a deeper spiritual purpose. Even as a young actress trained in theater, she felt that standing before audiences was less about performance and more about witnessing the beauty and light within others. That early sensitivity to the soul became the foundation for everything that followed.

  • What Ramadan Actually Means (Not What You Think)
    Feb 20 2026
    In this episode of WISE Women with Daisy Khan with host Dr. Daisy Khan, Imam Feisal Abdul Rauf explains why Muslims fast and what Ramadan is meant to transform within the human being. The ninth month of the Islamic lunar calendar marks the first revelation of the Quran, when the command to read changed history. Fasting disciplines appetite, strengthens will, sharpens self-awareness, and builds empathy for those who live with hunger daily. It is also deeply communal. Public iftars, tarawih prayers, and acts of multiplied charity reshape entire neighborhoods. The Prophet warned that many fast and gain nothing but hunger and thirst. Intention is everything. Ramadan is not about food. It is about freedom from what controls you. Listen to WISE Women with Daisy Khan because every story matters. The qualities that sustain us through difficulty often become the very gifts we offer to the world.

  • FGM Is Un-Islamic : What Communities Must Do to End It
    Feb 6 2026
    A single question about faith and harm sent Dr. Daisy Khan into a years-long investigation of female genital mutilation. She discovered a hard truth that many still resist. FGM is not required by Islam and it violates the very principles the Quran was revealed to protect.In this episode of WISE Women with Daisy Khan, survivor and social activist Mariya Taher joins host Daisy Khan to separate culture from faith and to name the harm with clarity. Together, they trace how a cultural practice wrapped itself in religious language and why that confusion still costs girls their bodies, dignity, and trust. Daisy explains what Islamic sources actually say about the human body as a sacred trust and why FGM fails every core objective of Islamic law, including protection of life, mind, family, and faith. Mariya shares her journey from anonymous survivor to policy advocate, helping change laws in places such as Massachusetts. Listeners hear what religious clarity, survivor leadership, and local action can do to end FGM in every community.Listen to WISE Women with Daisy Khan and share this episode with someone who influences your community.

  • Dalia Mogahed Mapping the American Muslim Experience | Episode 1 | Muslim Women Series
    Feb 3 2026
    A Black History Month book report changed everything. A Madison, Wisconsin, public school student discovered Malcolm X was Muslim and realized Islam predated her Egyptian family in America. That revelation transformed Dalia Mogahed into one of the most influential Muslim voices in the country.In this episode of WISE Women with Daisy Khan with host Daisy Khan, Dalia Mogahed shares research that challenges what Americans believe about Muslim women. She spent six years interviewing 50,000 Muslims across 35 countries for Gallup's largest study ever. Most Muslim women worldwide say their faith liberates them, they want equal rights, and the path runs through Islam, not around it. Muslim voter registration jumped 60% to 85% in nine years, the fastest civic engagement growth of any American community. Yet women vote less than men despite breaking glass ceilings. Dalia discusses Mamdani's 300% youth turnout surge and what ISPU surveys reveal about voter apathy. One answer dominates: no one represents my actual concerns.Listen to WISE Women with Daisy Khan because every story matters.

  • A Muslim strategist, a Jewish organizer, and the millennial mayor they propelled into office.
    Jan 12 2026

    Twenty-five years after 9/11 devastated New York and brought backlash against Muslims, Arabs, and South Asians, New Yorkers elected Zohran Mamdani as the 112th mayor of the largest city in America. He's the youngest mayor in over a century, the first Muslim mayor, born in Africa to South Asian parents. He took his oath on two Qur'ans underground in the historic Old City Hall subway station, with Senator Bernie Sanders administering the oath and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez delivering opening remarks. This wasn't just a political victory. This was a movement that mobilized 104,000 volunteers for a city race.

  • Mary in Islam and Christianity: The Woman Both Faiths Honor
    Dec 19 2025
    Mary is mentioned more in the Quran than in the Bible. There's an entire chapter named for her in Islamic scripture. Both Christians and Muslims revere her as the ultimate example of purity, devotion, and surrender to God. Yet most people don't know the full scope of her story or how deeply she connects these two faiths.In this episode of WISE Women with Daisy Khan, Dr. Daisy Khan sits down with Camille Helminski, author of The Way of Mary and co-director of The Threshold Society. Camille spent years researching Mary's life across Christian, Islamic, and Jewish traditions. Together, they explore the gaps most people never learn. Mary's mother Hannah was praying in a garden for a child. Three-year-old Mary was raised in the temple under Zachariah's guardianship. The angel's announcement. Birth by a palm tree with dates falling and a stream appearing beneath her. Jesus speaking from the cradle as his first miracle to defend his mother.They discuss Mary Magdalene, wrongly labeled a fallen woman by the Pope until 1969 despite being the first witness to resurrection. They examine Mary's appearances at Fatima, Portugal, where the town name itself honors Prophet Muhammad's daughter. Learn why the Negus of Abyssinia protected early Muslims after hearing Quranic verses about Mary and Jesus. Discover the significance of 33 across all Abrahamic traditions and why Muslims recite 33 times after prayer because of Fatima.This conversation reveals Mary as more than a religious figure. She becomes a bridge between faiths, a model of strength through suffering, and proof that unity exists when we actually know each other's stories.This is WISE Women with Daisy Khan – because every story matters.
