Muslims and Holidays (tea is going to be spilled today)

Most people know who Shaun King is, but who is he REALLY? We had the honour of sitting down with Shaun and his wife Rae and discussed their life story, how they met, how he became an activist for humanity and how they ended up in our living room for this incredible podcast.

In this week's podcast episode, we decompress our thoughts about living in Malaysia and what it really did for our physical, mental and spiritual health and well-being.

In this podcast, we interview the creative mind and founder of the popular Muslim children's show Omar and Hana - Sinan Ismail. We discuss how the show came to life and what happened to new episodes as it has been years since a new episode has been released. We also discuss the dangers of screen time for kids and what he is doing to change that.

In this episode, we explain what we have been up to since the last season of our podcast. Including having our fourth baby (our miracle rainbow baby) as well as traveling to half a dozen countries and ultimately deciding on coming to Malaysia to jump start our new life.

In this episode, we discuss WHAT ultimately divides the ummah and how differences of opinion regarding things like niqab, music or even halal food - should be respected and understood by everyone.

On today's podcast, we discuss the hot topic of "should Muslim women be on social media" as it has been circulating on Muslim Tiktok and we wanted to throw in our two cents. 

We have all seen it - Muslims being portrayed as terrorists in the media and in movies, but why? What caused all of this to transpire? And how has it continued into 2023 with people hating on Muslims all across social media? Let's discuss! 

This is a hot topic - especially in the desi community! Does evil eye (aka NAZR) exist? Is it really true that you can get sick because you posted a picture of your family on social media and then someone wished the sickness upon you? Let's discuss! Grab your tea and let's dive into this topic because it is a controversial one in the Muslim community! 

Everyone knows that Muslims have two Eids to celebrate in the year - but what about the Muslims that choose to celebrate OTHER holidays too? Let's discuss if it's ok or not to have a Christmas tree in a Muslim home, or to go out Trick or Treating during Halloween! There might be some tea spilled in this episode, you will just have to listen to find out! 

Hey guys! We know we have been gone for nearly a year but we are BACK! Let's recap what has happened in our lives this past year - including the loss of our third baby, our countless pop up shops, and our village project in Syria. We are so happy to be back and can't wait to bring you more exciting episodes!
