Whenever a guest appears, the audience is interested in hearing about their personal story or more about the successes of their endeavours. Instead, when the guest uses the first 10–15 minutes of the episode to speak about the timeless lessons she had gained from her youth during the time with her parents, particularly her father, it is no surprise as to the mass amount of love, support, and courage millions of Muslims around the world find through her. Today's guest is Dalia Mogahed, a renowned speaker and researcher related to Muslim communities in the U.S. She also co-authored the book "Who Speaks for Islam? What a Billion Muslims Really Think" with John L. Esposito. The book is based on extensive surveys conducted by Gallup, providing insights into the views of Muslims worldwide. Dalia accentuates humility, as she can express the significance of topics including the hijab, time, and what Islam means to her, using accounts from her own life. The people around you can shape one's life for the better or worse; be kind to everyone, and sacrifice for the sake of goodness.

It's incredible how destiny can affect people's lives through everyday interactions.

Comedians evolve and improve with experience, gaining confidence and a unique point of view over time. The UK has a higher appreciation for comedy and Canadian comedians often find success there. The longevity of a comedian's career depends on their energy, point of view, and ability to adapt their style as they age.

The Palestine/Israel conflict has generated much discussion surrounding the origin of the conflict, the argument over land dispossession, and whether the events that have taken place against the Palestinians constitute genocide under international law. Jonathan Randall, a comedian, writer, and podcaster, joins the episode to offer his perspective on the conflict. Being Jewish, Jonathan can understand the position that allows the state of Israel to use such tactics against oppressed people while also establishing the clear difference between those who are Jewish and people who follow the Zionist ideology. An articulate speaker, passionate about the atrocities committed against marginalized people, Jonathan offers a unique perspective as a Jewish person himself. It is important to note that Jonathan is not the sole spokesperson for all Jewish people and their beliefs on the conflict. However, he can provide a more nuanced lens regarding the beliefs of his people on both sides of the conflict and how such a conflict does not end overnight. It requires a collective effort from society to practice the art of healing, which can transcend the conversation and create a space for Palestinians and Jews in Israel to commence the action of peace, unity, and justified resolution.
Social media has been one of the very few available ways for Palestinians to tell their stories, first hand, under the Israeli occupation. But, censorship and account suspensions threaten that venue. As the war on Gaza escalates, social media companies have tightened their grip further. This is mixed with rapid spread of disinformation and conflicting narratives, like those about the Al-Ahli hospital deadly blast in Gaza. So, how far is disinformation and censorship steering the conflict?
The episode features a panel discussion surrounding the current events between Palestine and Israel after October 7th, 2023. The death of innocent civilians on both sides has created narratives that are ridiculous, inhumane, and intolerable. Palestinians are subject to the largest air-open prison in the world. Apartheid, settler colonialism, and other systemic factors continue their oppression. Having this discussion allows people to understand the implications that hinder Palestinians from being free. The one-sided view of this issue by head states and the media is appalling, plus the censorship tactics given to silence those who speak about the truth is sad. The WAYS Podcast offers an episode where people can learn, cry, and gain insight into the lives of individuals who only care about their self-interest in the suffering of another marginalized group, Palestinians.

Basma's intelligence shines as she articulates Islamic references when addressing how it empowers women when others consider it is limiting.
Is it possible to achieve your dream? What should you do after years of sacrifice, turmoil and plight with no results? Do you give up? Returning to your old ways?

In the first of two episodes, Osama and Mohammed interview Dart Adams. A renowned author, journalist, A&R Consultant and Twitter icon. A historian in music, culture, entertainment and history. Dart Adam's fixation on trying to preserve, present and encapsulate the significance of Boston to the world. Dart does not talk about Boston. Instead, he lives it, informing others about the historical figures that not only had their start in Boston but revealing how their connection to the city made it integral to their development as historical figures. In this episode, he speaks about his love for Boston, the Celtics and his connection to the legendary group New Edition.

A sequel to a memorable episode, Osama and Mohammed delve deeper into the idea of whether money truly buys one happiness. Extracting from personal experiences and observations of their peers and society collectively helps differentiate the positive and negative connotations that ascribe to this ideology. One might agree with their sentiment while others may think it's blasphemous: regardless, what does money mean to you? Is happiness a commodity?
The virtues that accumulate only through Ramadan are endless, a month when the human mind becomes free. The soul becomes nourished through hours of prayers, worship, and remembrance of God while fasting. Family is essential for realizing gaps within relationships that become stronger as people let go of selfish tendencies for the goal of unity. The Muslim community shines brighter than the Moon on a warm night as people from different cultures share food, memories, laugh and join together in prayer for the goal of Jannah (Heaven). Osama & Mohammed speak on how Ramadan is the ultimate cleanser for one's interpersonal system and how to hold onto it as one tries to become the better version of themselves after the most beautiful month of the year. Hence, every Muslim will always have the bittersweet feeling of never wanting to let Ramadan go. Because for such a month to leave is akin to the most refined version of yourself also departing. May we all become better people to our families, community and the world, Inshallah.
