He introduces us to the archetypes of masculinity: king, magician, warrior and lover, and their shadow forms, detailing their characteristics and core aspects. Armed to the teeth with pop culture references, Hussain breaks this all down for us, leaving us with a blueprint for rebuilding masculinity.

They talk about the perception of sex in Muslim communities, looking at the existing taboo and the harm it perpetuates, and where it originated. Habeeb and Dr Wafaa both stress the importance of sex education, how it's lacking, and how important it is to address it. They highlight some of the things that we, as a community, are doing wrong, and how these contribute to a detrimental cycle that only hurts us in the long run. The conversation touches on Habeeb's book 'A Taste of Honey', the perceived separation between sensuality and spirituality, and the paramountcy of communication,  opening the door on this all-too-important topic and taking those first steps towards shedding the taboo. Dr Wafaa is a gynaecologist, counsellor and therapist. She is an expert in psychosexual & relationship therapy, whilst also being a GMC licensed medical doctor with extensive clinical experience in sexual medicine. Habeeb Akande is an alumnus of Al Azhar University in Cairo. He is a British-born writer, sex educator and historian of Nigerian descent. He is also the author of A Taste of Honey, which looks at Sexuality and erotology in Islam, amongst several other books around this subject matter.  -- The Muslim Vibe has launched a new podcast!

He invites sisters Hafsa and Naima, and brothers Hamza, Hashim and Ibrahim to share their experiences of being both Black and Muslim. They discuss the idea of the "Black Muslim" identity, where it started and where it's headed, how it's transformed over time. Drawing from this, they look at the "Black Muslim" narrative and how, despite it's rising popularity, it remains underrepresented, and the impact that this has. They look at this identity, sharing what it means for each of them, sharing their personal experiences and how they each "came in" to this identity, and what its come to mean for them. The conversation winds to a close as they discuss the default experiences that come part and parcel with being black and Muslim, what they mean, and what the takeaway should be. -- Want to hear more?

Sahar is running to be a Plaid Cymru Senedd Member - a member of the Welsh parliament - and in this discussion, we gain some more insight into her reasons and motivations, as well as some of her thoughts and beliefs. She speaks on institutionalised Islamophobia and its effects, how it trickles down into the daily norm, the normalised toxicity of politics, the harmful rhetoric that is more and more widespread, and how being visibly Muslim and wearing the niqab plays into her political and personal identity. Should she be successful, she would be the first niqabi member of a European parliament, and in this conversation she shares why this is long overdue. As she explains, struggle is a catalyst in crossing these boundaries, and now is more paramount a time than ever to rise up and be heard. -- Get in touch with us and share your thoughts!

They speak to Dr Suriyah Bi, PhD, on the topic of equality, but from a new perspective. Dr Bi does share her stories on how she has been personally affected by discrimination, but she also shares with us the facts on the gap Muslims are trying to bridge from an academic point of view. Combining her life experiences with her line of research, Suriyah delves into the topic of inequality, touching on social mobility, islamophobia, positive discrimination and more. The discussion addresses how the minority communities play their roles as well, as Suriyah speaks on how she's found more support externally, and how she's, witnessed in some instances, a mentality that does not value education for women. The conversation takes us through many twists and turns as they begin to unpack the heavy subject that is equality and diversity, or a lack of, thereof. -- Want to hear more from Dr Suriyah?

Please consider supporting us here at The Muslim Vibe, just £10 per month would go such a long way: https://themuslimvibe.com/support -- This week our host Salim invites Naima, Hafsa, Nabil, and LaYinka onto the podcast to discuss the Black Muslim Festival. The festival, held virtually for all of October, was started by Naima B Robert in the wake of the upsurge that the Black Lives Matter (BLM) movement has seen over the summer. The idea has been to invite guests from all backgrounds, from poetry to comedy to entrepreneurship, to come together in this festival to celebrate Black Muslims. Our guests discuss this topic in the context of the BLM movement, touching on what it means to celebrate our identity and why it’s important to do so. The conversation also addresses the All Lives Matter (ALM) movement, internalised prejudice, and just the general discomfort that can come from tackling these issues head-on. Our guests invite you to embrace this discomfort, to let it show you areas to focus on within yourself. They encourage everyone to attend some of the events, and hopefully we’ll all be better for it. — To learn more about the Black Muslim Festival, visit https://themuslimvibe.com/western-muslim-culture/upcoming-online-festival-to-celebrate-black-muslim-heritage-for-black-history-month-a-chance-to-learn-celebrate-and-give Want to hear more from Nabil?

The conversation focuses not only on the impact of divorce on the couple, but on children as well, and how it becomes paramount for the adults to maintain a healthy relationship post-divorce for the sake of the children.
