Boonaa Mohammed x Sh. Belal Assaad

We explore how 'Doublethink', cognitive dissonance, and manipulative language influence our beliefs and behaviour, and how the Quran guides us towards critical thinking, repentance and righteousness.

We explore the Islamic framework for men and women, their rights and responsibilities, qawwāmah, obedience within ma'rūf, and how these roles work together within the boundaries set by Allah.

We explore the preservation and authenticity of Hadith, why the Sunnah is essential to understanding the Quran, and how astronomical data and early manuscripts provide compelling evidence for the historical accuracy of Hadith.

We break down exactly how Islam's system of primary and secondary sources works, why the Quran and Sunnah are inseparable pillars, and why the modern "Quran-only" movement collapses under basic Islamic and linguistic scrutiny.

In this video, we explore why Muslim youth are drawn to hadith rejection and Qur'an only ideologies, tracing the pattern back to broken hearts and harsh treatment within religious communities, before turning to examples from the Prophet's ﷺ life that model compassion over harshness, and laying out why the sunnah is essential to properly understanding and practicing Islam.

In this podcast, we discuss a framework for building harmonious families through Islamic teachings, psychology and empathy.

This lecture explores the story of Khawla bint Tha'labah (RA), whose plea against her husband's use of Zihar (a pre-Islamic practice of declaring a wife like one's mother to abandon her) led to the revelation of Surah Al-Mujadila, establishing divine laws protecting women's rights and prohibiting such abusive, exclusionary language.

We follow the remarkable journey of Salman al-Farisi as he sacrifices comfort, status, and freedom in his relentless search for the truth, ultimately finding Islam and becoming one of the Prophet Muhammad's ﷺ closest companions.

In this lecture, we explore how to remain steadfast when faith is mocked, understanding why believers face ridicule, how the Quran reframes these trials, and how to respond with dignity, patience, and unwavering trust in Allah.

In this video, I sat with my dear brother Boonaa Mohammed to share some of my lifelong journey with the Quran and how it became my greatest source of guidance, comfort and healing through both life's joys and its deepest trials.
