Buried Seeds Still Bloom | حتى البذرة المدفونة تزهر
"They tried to bury the truth along with him. But some seeds refuse to stay buried." After the death of Soleiman Faqiri, his family was left with unimaginable grief and unanswered questions. But instead of letting his injustice be buried, his family turned their grief into a relentless pursuit of justice. They chose to fight for truth, for justice, and for the dignity every human deserves. In this episode, we explore how faith in Allah, patience in the face of injustice, and love for family can turn sorrow into something powerful. Because even when seeds are buried deep beneath the soil,…

The Sorrow That Bore Fruit | الحُزْنُ الَّذِي أَثْمَرَ
Ala’a never imagined that the ground she would be asked to plant in would be sorrow. After her brother was taken from her through gun violence, sorrow could have swallowed everything. The shock. The anger. The questions that never get answers. But instead of allowing his story to end in tragedy, Ala’a chose to carry it forward. In honor of her brother — his smile, his softness, the way he loved — Ala’a planted something in his name. Smile for Sache was born not out of strategy, but out of longing. A refusal to let his light disappear. A promise that his joy would continue to move through…

But this story is not simply about constructing a space. It is about walking the golden path. The path of seeking knowledge, embodying it, and using it to transform lives. At its core, this episode asks: When knowledge is placed in your hands, what will you build with…

Chapter II, Page IV: The Lonely Matchmaker
Ten years after building one of the world’s most successful Muslim marriage apps, Shahzad Younas faces an uncomfortable truth: he helped millions find love, but not himself. In this episode, we take Muzz — and the man behind Muzz — to court, sitting with the questions that have followed him quietly for a decade. The Muzz CEO steps out from behind the success stories to confront the cost of ambition, loneliness at the top, and a truth he can no longer avoid. Now, the matchmaker is back in the search.

Chapter II, Page V: Our Serendipity
This episode reflects on Qadr and the way Allah guides people through separate journeys before bringing them together. Hiba and Zayd move through their own challenges, learning patience, responsibility, and trust without knowing how their paths will eventually align. Rather than coincidence, their story shows intention: growth before union, faith before love. It is a reminder that Allah prepares hearts long before He joins them, and that what is written will arrive only when the time is right. This episode is brought to you by Muzz Thank you Muzz for believing in these stories and for…

What does it really mean to wait for love, for connection, for a du‘ā you’ve been waiting for to happen? In this episode your certified lover girl, Cadar, invites you into The Waiting Room, that quiet, in-between space where hope meets surrender.

Lovember: Chapter Two [Season Premiere]
Dear listeners This season, we return to the first love story, Adam & Hawa. Not a tale of fleeting romance, but of divine purpose. A bond written by Allah, blessed in Paradise, tested on Earth and built on sukūn (tranquility), raḥmah (mercy) and unity of the soul. The book design is meant to reflect our search for meaning in what’s written for us, the prayers we hold, the dreams we chase, and the heartbreaks that shape us. Each page, blank or filled, is a reminder that Allah’s story for us unfolds in perfect time and wisdom. This is our Ode to them, & to the sacred love Allah continues to…

Between Despair & Dawn
Dreams marked the beginning of revelation — and in Islam, they remain a sacred thread to the unseen. In this episode, we explore the spiritual power of dreams with Ustadh Arif (Abu Muhammad), a dream interpreter who’s helped countless Muslims find meaning in the messages they receive at night. We also follow Syeda’s powerful journey — a vivid dream that changed everything, told and interpreted live for the first time. Some dreams fade by morning.But some? They stay with us — and if we listen, they just might lead us home. ✨Community Spotlight: Say Somaali✨ In this episode, we’re highlighting…

The Weight of Watching Eyes
In today’s episode, we sit down with Sayema - a Muslim psychotherapist - for a deeply-personal story about the unseen costs of having our lives be too visible online. What began as a mission to offer healing and service turned into a slow, quiet unraveling under the weight of envy, burnout, and the spiritual harm of evil-eye. Sayema’s story is raw, reflective, and shows her ultimately-redemptive journey of what happens when the healer via psychotherapy becomes the afflicted; and finds the cure not in the algorithm, but in the Quran, and from Al-Shifa, The One Who Heals. - Your Chance to…

The Cure
We know that Allah SWT has not sent down any disease, but that he also sent its cure. And that cure is His book, His words, His guidance. But are we utilising it? In this episode we are joined by Umm Muhammad, who talks to us about the prophetic tradition of Ruqyah - how to revive it and practice it, and how to protect oneself against the trials that we have discussed in the season so far. Allah SWT does not burden a soul beyond what it can bear, and this conversation reminds us to return to Him and fear only Him, because he is As-Shifa, our ultimate protector and source of healing.…

Go back and Fetch - Part 2
In the second part of Aliatou's journey, the forces she once sought to control now dominate her life, leaving her spiritually lost and broken.

This episode explores Aliatou’s painful struggle to reclaim her soul, to return to Islam, and to seek Allah's mercy. It’s a story of repentance, healing, and the profound transformation that comes with reconnecting to the Divine. This episode is a…

Go back and Fetch - Part 1
There’s a world just beyond the veil, where shadows linger and whispers echo, where a flicker of doubt or fear can pull us into places we’d never thought we’d go. For Aliatou, the allure of this world wasn’t born of fear, but of curiosity—a desire to reconnect with her ancestral roots. In her search for deeper meaning, seeking to understand the traditions of her ancestors, she taps into something ancient and powerful. But as she ventures into the unknown, the line between the curiosity for her heritage and the dangerous forces she invited into her life begins to blur. Part 1 of Aliatou’s…

What happens in the moments after we leave this world? What does it truly mean to return to our Creator? In this episode, we take you on a journey through the unseen reality of death—not the supernatural unknown, but the inevitable path every soul will take. We sit with someone who prepares bodies for burial, uncovering the sacred and intimate process of washing, shrouding, and saying farewell. Through reflection and deep conversation, we explore what it means to die, what it means to be remembered, and what awaits us beyond this life. This is more than an episode—it’s a reminder. La ilaha…
