Brothers Ya’koob and Abdulrahman Al Refaie declare themselves proudly as the Kuwaiti hip hop group Sons of Yusuf. They are both shaking and Shayking the World with their recently released first album, effortlessly blend American hiphop and Arab music singing in both Arabic and English, sampling khaleeji drums as well as lines from iconic Kuwaiti plays like Bye Bye London, and referencing Muslim and Arab cultural and historical figures. They go from stories of their grandfather the pearl diver to tales of modern microaggressions and full blown racism in the aftermath of the gulf war in the US. The result is music that speaks to a truly global audience, particularly those who have grown up between cultures and didn’t have music that spoke to every facet of their identity. Sally speaks to Abdulrahman about their new album, making their mark and changing the world through music. Track Listing: - HALA هلا (We Dem Boyz Arabia Remix) - A Night in Córdoba (feat.

Ramadan is not only the month of fasting but also the month of giving, with the reward for charity and good deeds multiplied during this time. It’s during this time that the Prophet Muhammad peace and blessings be upon him encouraged us to give more generously. In fact we are taught that in being generous, this is the way that we are increased in prosperity. In a hadith, “Allah says, ‘Spend, O son of Adam, and I shall spend on you.’” The Prophet peace be upon him said: “When a man dies, his deeds come to an end except for three things, including Sadaqah Jariyah, or charity that continues on after his passing. There are many forms of charity, and people are encouraged to give what they can. The blessings in giving cannot be underestimated, with many psychological benefits as well. Studies show that giving money gave people more joy and happiness than spending it on themselves, with a similar effect arising out of performing acts of kindness. Just as importantly, giving also promotes cooperation and social connection, with a ripple effect where you are more likely to receive in return. Even more powerfully, when we give, it evokes empathy and gratitude. Sally spoke to Historian and educator Idris Mears, the founder of Book Quarter at Alserkal Cultural Foundation about the importance of generosity in Ramadan and why it’s particularly important this year.

Author of Table Tales: The Global Nomad Cuisine of Abu Dhabi, Hanan Sayed Worrell loves to bring people together to tell their stories over food, and the lockdown hasn’t stopped her from doing just that. During the pandemic she launched “The Distant Social Dinner Society” where guests get together for a dinner party over zoom, with the concept evolving in Ramadan to become Iftar from Afar. She created this in collaboration with NYU Abu Dhabi Professor Jonathan Shannon, and they actually modeled the idea on Boccaccio’s Decameron, in which ten Florentines fled to the hills to escape the ravages of the plague in 1348, each of them telling stories over the course of their 10 day “sheltering in place,” and in the same way, the Table Tales Distant Social Dinner Society consists of ten diners sharing a virtual meal, telling stories of and about food and community. Sally was guest at this week’s Iftar from Afar, along with a diverse group of people who were invited to break bread virtually, including Asma Sedeeq Al Mutawa, the founder of the Multaqa Cultural Salon, CNN’s John Defterios, and two professors from the American University of Sharjah who are originally from China, Professors Shaojin Chai and Yuting Wang, who is the author of Between Islam and the American Dream: An Immigrant Muslim Community in Post-9/11 America.

Ramadan is the time of year that more that 1.8 billion of the world’s population look forward to every year, a time when family, friends and even strangers come together to share food, stories and experiences.

Of course this year it will be very different, with much of the world still under lockdown as we come to grips with the pandemic.
