Podcast appearances and mentions of Dalia Mogahed

Can one sincere act change your entire standing before Allah?In this episode of Quran Conversations, Dalia Mogahed is joined by Imam Mohamed Magid to reflect on verses 112–113 of Surah TaHa.After discussing accountability and the consequences of wrongdoing, these verses shift our attention to hope. Allah reassures believers that no righteous deed will ever be lost, overlooked, or diminished. Even the smallest act of goodness—done with sincerity and faith—can carry immense weight with Allah.The conversation explores Allah's generosity in multiplying good deeds, the hidden rewards behind everyday acts of service, and the countless opportunities Allah places in our lives to draw closer to Him. Dalia and Imam Magid also reflect on the Qur'an as a living miracle, the significance of its Arabic language, and why the Qur'an uses diverse methods of guidance, warning, stories, and reminders to awaken the human heart.In this episode, you will learn:

What if the thing you're trying hardest to hide is already completely known to Allah?In this episode of Quran Conversations, Dalia Mogahed is joined by Imam Muhammad Magid to reflect on verses 110–111 of Surah TaHa.These verses shift our attention to two profound realities: Allah's infinite knowledge and humanity's complete humility before Him on the Day of Judgment. Allah knows what came before us, what lies ahead of us, and everything in between—while our own knowledge remains limited and incomplete.Together, Dalia and Imam Magid explore what it means to be truly known by Allah, the power of naming and understanding our experiences, and why the Day of Judgment is ultimately a day of complete exposure, accountability, and justice.In this episode, you will learn:

What happens when every illusion of power disappears?In this episode of Quran Conversations, Dalia Mogahed is joined by her teacher, Imam Muhammad Magid, for a reflection on verses 108–109 of Surah TaHa.These verses continue the Qur'an's powerful depiction of the Day of Judgment—a day when every human being who has ever lived will stand before Allah. No one will be able to ignore the summons. No one will be able to resist, delay, negotiate, or escape.As the Qur'an describes humanity following the caller without deviation, Dalia and Imam Magid explore what it means to live in a world where we often ignore Allah's call, yet are heading toward a day when responding will no longer be optional. They reflect on the complete silence of that gathering, the collapse of worldly status, and the profound significance of Allah describing Himself as Ar-Rahman in a scene of overwhelming judgment and power.In this episode, you will learn:

Why do some hearts surrender to the truth while others resist it, even when they recognise it?In this episode of Quran Conversations, we are joined by Ustadh Fahd Yasin. Ustadh Fahd Yasin has been studying Quranic/Classical Arabic for the past decade. He has received ijazas (certifications) in Tajwid and grammar, and he is certified in Quranic Arabic linguistics. His current interests are in Quranic Analysis, Arabic Grammar, Rhetoric, Tazkiyah, and Tafsir. He has been a Quranic Arabic instructor at Fawakih Institute for the past 5 years. Ustadh Fahd Yasin is passionate about spreading Quranic linguistics to all of his students and everyone he meets! He wishes for everyone to experience the Light of the Quran and taste of the Quran's Secrets, Nuances, and Linguistic Subtleties.Dalia Mogahed and Ustadh Fahd Yasin reflect on Surah TaHa, ayah 105, exploring the destruction of the mountains on the Day of Judgment and the deeper meanings hidden within the Qur'an's precise language.What begins as a linguistic discussion unfolds into something far more personal: a reflection on certainty, ego, accountability, and the condition of the human heart. Why did the Qur'an choose mountains as its symbol? Why did the Quraysh feel so threatened by the Qur'an? And what separates the people who surrender to truth from those who fight against it?This episode explores how the Qur'an challenges the very things we rely on for stability and security, reminding us that even the mountains will one day disappear like dust.In this episode, you will learn:

What happens when everything you ignored becomes impossible to deny?In this episode of Quran Conversations, Dalia Mogahed is joined by Talha Ghannam. Talha is a Mathematics and Economics graduate, Islamic scholar, entrepreneur and community activist. He studied under leading scholars in the UK, Syria and Egypt, completed a seven-year Alimiyah course, and now focuses on purification of the heart and the Quran.

A vivid, unsettling glimpse into the Day of Judgment.These verses don't just describe an event. They immerse you in it. Through sound, imagery, and subtle language, the Qur'an pulls you into a moment where control disappears, illusions collapse, and reality is fully exposed.This is not a distant scene. It is a mirror of what we are becoming.In this episode, you will learn:

What is the Qur'an really asking from you, and what happens when you turn away from it?In this episode of Quran Conversations, Dalia Mogahed and Mohammed Magid reflect on verses 99–101 of Surah TaHa. A moment where the story pauses, and the Qur'an speaks directly to you.After the powerful narrative of Musa (peace be upon him), these verses shift from storytelling to meaning. They reveal why these stories are told, what they demand from us, and the consequences of ignoring their message.This is where the Qur'an stops being history, and becomes a mirror.In this episode, you will learn:

What does it take to truly break free from false idols—whether they are people, ideas, or desires?In this episode of Quran Conversations, Dalia Mogahed and Mohammed Magid reflect on verses 97–98 of Surah TaHa. A powerful turning point where Prophet Musa (peace be upon him) confronts As-Samiri and dismantles the illusion of the golden calf.This moment goes beyond punishment. It exposes the reality of false devotion, the psychology of influence, and the path to spiritual liberation. From social isolation as consequence, to the public destruction of the idol, the Qur'an offers a profound blueprint for breaking free from manipulation, materialism, and misplaced worship.In this episode, you will learn:

What happens when two righteous leaders respond differently to the same crisis?In this episode of Qur'an Conversations, Dalia Mogahed and Sheikh Mohammed Majed reflect on Ayah 94 of Surah TaHa—a powerful moment where Prophet Musa (peace be upon him) confronts his brother Harun after the people fall into worship of the golden calf.This interaction reveals something deeply human: frustration, grief, restraint, and the weight of leadership. It also offers timeless lessons about obedience, accountability, and navigating conflict without tearing communities apart.In this episode, you will learn:

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. You never know that one or multiple efforts to leave an everlasting impression can accumulate in the success, dream, and vision of a beloved speaker, researcher, author, and mother a generation later.

Muslims have long been central in America's political discourse, policy debates and popular culture. Yet most Americans say they don't even know a Muslim and more than 80% of media coverage of Islam and Muslims in the United States is negative. This week's episode discusses the myriad ways in which Muslims contribute to economic development, medicine, philanthropy, arts, entertainment, sports, and education in the United States.

According to demographic data from ISPU's American Muslim Poll, 9% of Muslims in the United States are Latino, a steadily growing percentage. In previous research, ISPU found that Latinos have lower levels of Islamophobia than other racial and ethnic groups in the United States and the general public. These demographic trends, coupled with the lower levels of Islamophobia found among this population, motivated ISPU to conduct research to uncover the "whys" of these findings. The result, Latino Attitudes Toward American Muslims and Islam, was published in October 23 in partnership with IslamInSpanish.  In this episode, former ISPU Director of Research, Dalia Mogahed, interviews Jaime "Mujahid" Fletcher, CEO and Co-founder of IslamInSpanish, about the report findings and what we can glean from the report's dynamic focus groups.This episode of Deep Dives with ISPU is sponsored by Talem Consulting.

Story Guides include: Bella Hadid, Aymann Ismail, Dr. James Zogby, Nadine Naber, Peter Beinart, and Dalia Mogahed. Transcripts are available at ays.media/rep.

In this episode, Dalia Mogahed, Director of Research at the Institute for Social Policy and Understanding, talks about the report “Measuring the Legal and Media Responses to Ideologically Motivated Violence in the US.” She uncovers the results of this report, which reveals that perceived Muslim perpetrators of ideologically motivated crimes are treated differently by the media and by law enforcement, leading to vastly different sentences. The discussion also delves into the implications of these differences for American Muslims and for the larger community and proposes some strategies to guard against these disparities. This interview was conducted by MuBANY Director, Maryam Jazini.

Episode 2 of 5. Zainab Chaudry, Dalia Mogahed, and Omar Suleiman discuss their upbringing, their work, and their experiences with Christians. Each are leading Muslims to serve their communities as they try to dismantle stereotypes. Major themes of this episode include grounding justice work in faith, giving Muslims a voice to tell their own stories, and the exciting ways that Muslims are contributing to society for the common good. Are evangelicals ready to call them neighbors?

When you look at Muslim scholar Dalia Mogahed, what do you see: A woman of faith? A scholar, a mom, a sister? Or an oppressed, brainwashed, potential terrorist? In this personal, powerful talk, Mogahed asks us, in this polarizing time, to fight negative perceptions of her faith in the media -- and to choose empathy over prejudice. Hosted on Acast.

Sam addresses Twitter controversy regarding Fareed Zakaria, Dalia Mogahed, and John Esposito.What progress have you made toward becoming vegetarian or vegan?If the Islamic reformation/modernization movement doesn't succeed, what do you think should be the alternative?Do you think your reliance on hypotheticals and thought experiments has become a hindrance to making headway and discourse on important issues, in particular the thread of Islamic terrorism? Generally speaking, how big a role should thought experiments and hypotheticals play in discussing key issues?In what way should the imagined repercussions affect what you decide to publicly share? If you believe something to be true, would it be moral to withhold it? In this respect Is there such a thing as a noble lie of omission? Are there ideas you've decided against sharing? What are they? Are their views of yours that you believe don't get enough attention?Would you be willing to be ostracized from the people you love for the sake of the greater good? Should ex-Muslims like us delegate the task of critiquing religion to such people as Ali Rizvi and Sarah Haider who are able to leave the religion with fewer repercussions? Or do you believe the threat of fundamental Islam is so great that people should risk ostracism, violence, and even death to fight against it? Is it even possible to fully flourish as a human being while living your whole life under a pretense?I'll simplify your arguments against the regressive left and summarize them as: the left has missed the point so badly that they're basically responsible for smart and otherwise sensitive people to lean toward the right. This argument has always troubled me, and I saw it epitomized in the recent presidential elections in Argentina. Isn't it intellectual and politically lazy to support right-wing ideas and policy just because the left has gotten it or most of it wrong? Don't you think that people in positions like yours should also be advocating for a better left?How fast do you read?Is there anything inherently wrong with polygamy between three or more consenting adults? If so what? And if not, why call it out as an example of evil instead of the religious imperative itself?Do you think there's a possibility given advances in technology that you could have your stance changed on free will?Is killing another human being always wrong even in circumstances such as self-defense. Is there an ethics for killing?I wonder why you don't use the example of child abuse by Catholic priests as being another case of religious doctrine–in this case for celibacy having harmful repercussions in real life.
