Why do I feel depressed? What if I dont have any hope in the future anymore? How do I feel joy again? What if I have suffered trauma or great loss? All of these are questions many of us go through and ask ourselves at some point in life. How do you love Allah when you’re exhausted, anxious, or don’t even want to be in this world anymore?What if you pray, fast, and do “everything right”, yet still struggle with mental health, emptiness, and a lack of meaning?In this deeply honest and necessary conversation, Br. Saad Yacoob explains what it actually means to love Allah above everything else, and why this is the one thing Muslims are afraid to fully commit to, and something Western civilization is structurally incapable of sustaining. #mentalhealth #podcast #emotionalhealing #allah #islamicreminder *JOIN OUR YOUTUBE MEMBERSHIP*OR*Support Us @* https://www.ansaripodcast.com/OR*Patreon:* https://www.patreon.com/c/theansaripodcast/membership*Join The Cosmos Club Newsletter:* https://www.ansaripodcast.com/cosmos-club#MentalHealth #Spirituality #MeaningOfLife #Psychology #Depression #Faith #Individualism #Hope*Ayubi Collective*FREE 10-Part Masterclass “How to Build Your Own Multi-Billion Dollar Business”https://www.ayubi.com/ansari*Apex Capital:* https://www.investwithapex.com*Provision Capital:* https://www.provisioncapital.com*Humaniti:* https://donor.muslimi.com/page/Humaniti-emergency-Ansari00:00 The Importance of Grief07:50 We Have Mistaken Joy for Love13:36 How to Love again22:00 Why the West Can't Love27:40 Allah is not your teddy bear36:52 How do We Make Allah Real?43:27 You Love Allah but Can't Get out of Bed?51:09 Is Modern Life killing us?01:04:20 What if You're Miserable?01:07:08 What if You Don’t Want to Live?01:09:44 How Do You Find Meaning in Life?01:13:28 What is the Hope for Tomorrow?01:20:23 Final Thoughts*Listen on All Audio Platforms:* https://tr.ee/JeX-ILYSyj*Follow The Ansari Podcast**Instagram:* https://instagram.com/ansaripodcast*TikTok:* https://tiktok.com/@theansaripodcast*Twitter/X:* https://twitter.com/ansaripodcast

Dr. Ali Hussain comes back for another deep, thought provoking and historically grounded conversation on the rich tradition of music, instruments, and melodic recitation in Islam, and how colonialism, cultural rupture, and fear-based theology severed Muslims from their own artistic heritage. Dr. Ali claims that Music is not a modern innovation in Islam it is a spiritual tradition rooted in the Prophetic era that we have nearly lost. Dr. Ali Hussain truly believes that music is not haram, that music halal and a necessary part of our tradition. We explore how the Qur’an itself is meant to be experienced melodiously, why art and beauty are central to worship, and how music once played a vital role in spiritual refinement, remembrance, and communal identity.*JOIN OUR YOUTUBE MEMBERSHIP*OR*Support Us @* https://www.ansaripodcast.com/OR*Patreon:* https://www.patreon.com/c/theansaripodcast/membership*Join The Cosmos Club Newsletter:* https://www.ansaripodcast.com/cosmos-club*Ayubi Collective*FREE 10-Part Masterclass “How to Build Your Own Multi-Billion Dollar Business”https://www.ayubi.com/ansari*Provision Capital:* https://www.provisioncapital.com*Humaniti:* https://donor.muslimi.com/page/Humaniti-emergency-Ansari00:00 Why is Music Halal?05:16 Music & The Prophet PBUH08:47 The Spirit of Melody in the Quran13:52 Musical Tradition Came from the Prophets?20:57 Why Do People Say Music is Haram?27:04 Does Music Distance You from God?40:21 Using Art as Worship50:24 Why do Humans Need Beauty?54:26 Graffiti and Jazz as Sacred Art?56:22 Speed round Questions#music #haram #islamichistory #muslimpodcast #islamicpodcast*Listen on All Audio Platforms:* https://tr.ee/JeX-ILYSyj*Follow The Ansari Podcast**Instagram:* https://instagram.com/ansaripodcast*TikTok:* https://tiktok.com/@theansaripodcast*Twitter/X:* https://twitter.com/ansaripodcast
