Ashura has occurred - now what? In this week’s episode, we’re joined by Br. Muntazir Jaffer, student of the Islamic seminaries. We reflect on the profound lessons learned from the day of Ashura, drawing deep connections between Imam Hussain's (as) sacrifice and the parallel teachings of the Holy Quran. We discuss how to implement Islam as a constant guiding force in our daily lives, ensuring that our actions and decisions are rooted in our faith. By exploring the ways in which Imam Hussain exemplified making the right decisions in Karbala through his unwavering connection to Allah (swt), our guest provides practical advice on how listeners can strengthen their own relationship with Allah (swt) through the Quran and emulate the virtues of Imam Hussain (as) in their own lives.

The mother of grief. The protector of Hussain (as). The student with no teacher. The one who fulfilled the task set by Ali (as) and Fatima (as). In this heart-wrenching episode, Sayed Abdullah al-Nakeeb returns to uncover the reality and secrets of Lady Zainab (as) and the magnitude of her role - before, during and after the Battle of Karbala. We understand Sayeda Zainab (as) in a lens unexplored before on our podcast, in the build up to the Day of Ashura - a day synonymous with martyrdom, sacrifice and faith.

What led Yazid to the undeniably atrocity that occured in Karbala and how were his acts even justified. Ahmed and Sayed Ali reflect on the story of Karbala as we enter this Holy Month and we should all reflect on our acts during these nights of Mourning.
