The Muslim Podcaster

We’re often told that Ramadan is about personal spirituality, seclusion, and self-improvement—but history tells a different story. The Battle of Badr, the Conquest of Makkah, and the liberation of Jerusalem all happened in Ramadan. It was a month that galvanised the Ummah, not one where Muslims disconnected from their responsibilities.

So how did we go from a month of victory to a month of fatigue and passivity? Why are we encouraged to switch off from the struggles of the Ummah during this blessed month? And how do we revive the true spirit of Ramadan—a time of act...

Trump has proposed that the US should “own” Gaza and that Palestinians should be forcibly resettled in Jordan and Egypt. Meanwhile, “Israel” is accelerating its annexation of the West Bank, attacks on Al-Aqsa are escalating, and Saudi normalisation with “Israel” is still on the table. I’m joined by Muttaqi Ismail, an American Muslim and host of the Islamic History Podcast, to get his take on Trump’s remarks and what these developments mean for Palestine and the wider region. 🔥 Tune in now for a hard-hitting discussion. 🎙

Join us as we separate fact from fiction and challenge the status quo.

Welcome to the first episode of “The Muslim Podcaster Reacts” series!
 
In this episode, I’m joined by JK as we dive into the BBC’s interview with HTS leader Al-Jolani. From loaded questions about the Caliphate to blatant bias against Islamic governance, we expose the double standards and hypocrisy of Western narratives. Listen as we break down the interview and uncover the truth about Islam’s approach to governance, minorities, and justice.

In this episode, I’m joined by JK and Abdul Ahad to dive into the recent seismic shift in Syria—the fall of Bashar Al Assad and the Syrian rebels taking control. While some celebrate this as a long-overdue victory against tyranny, others argue it’s a devastating blow to the Palestinian cause, with the real beneficiaries being “Israel” and America.

We tackle two burning questions fueling the fierce debate within the Ummah: Have the Syrian rebels betrayed Gaza by weakening the so-called axis of resistance? And is Assad’s downfall truly a victory for the Ummah, or a carefully...

In this episode, Brother Abdul Ahad from Canada joins me as we delve into the ICC’s arrest warrant for Netanyahu and Gallant.

We also address the recent riots in Amsterdam following the Ajax vs. Maccabi Tel Aviv match and examine how the media and the Western narrative have shaped this incident. Instead of revealing the full context, they’ve spun it as an anti-Semitic, anti-Israeli issue, por...

In this episode, I’m joined by Muttaqi Ismail, host of the Islamic History Podcast. As the US presidential election looms, we explore whether American Muslims face a dilemma in choosing between parties entangled in the ongoing genocide in Gaza. Are the Democrats – led by Kamala Harris – about to face a backlash for their complicity? Or does the alternative mean endorsing Trump, despite his legacy of anti-Islamic policies? Together, we unpack whether this election offers hope for Gaza or simply extends America’s history of hollow promises. Join us as we confront these tough choices and examine what’s truly at stake f...

In this episode, I’m joined by co-hosts JK and Khairul as we reflect on the year since October 7th.

We explore how these fabrications were weaponised to fuel an ongoing genocide in Gaza, which has now expanded to Lebanon. We also examine the response of the Ummah to the atrocities and assess what has been achieved in the face of such overwhelming oppression. Tune in for a critical review of October 7th and the...

In this episode, I'm joined by Rash and JK as we unpack "Israel's" recent military operations in the West Bank, where specific refugee camps were targeted, civilian infrastructure destroyed, and large parts of the population left without necessities such as water. With 80% of Jenin's residents affected, these tactics mirror those used in Gaza. But why is "Israel" carrying out such ruthless attacks in the West Bank, where Hamas has no presence and no hostages are being held? Could this be part of a larger plan to complete the takeover of historic Palestine, first initiated in 1948? We also explore the collaboration...

In Episode 92, I am joined by Hema Luqman to delve into the profound and often misunderstood concept of dua, particularly in the context of the ongoing genocide in Gaza. As ten months have passed and the bloodshed continues, many Muslims are grappling with questions about the effectiveness of their prayers: Why hasn't the genocide stopped? Is Allah (SWT) not hearing our pleas? We explore these difficult questions, especially in light of the Prophet’s (saw) teaching that dua is the weapon of the believer.

In this episode, we explain what dua truly is and its purpose and clarify it...

In Episode 91, we dive into the recent UK riots with special guest Muttaqi Ismail, host of the Islamic History Podcast. What began as a reaction to the tragic deaths of three young girls quickly spiralled into far-right, anti-Islam, and anti-migration unrest. We explore various angles—who sparked these riots? Why did they escalate, and who stands to gain from the chaos? Together, we uncover the deeper issues of Islamophobia, far-right ideologies, and the historical tensions that fuel this unrest.
