The impact of parent-child communication on confidence and expression | Psychologist M Hussain by Radio Islam

Mufti Hussain Kamani is one of the most respected Islamic scholars in America, a qualified Mufti and jurist authorized to issue fatwa, and the former Director of Qalam Seminary joins Ansari on The Ansari Podcast for a powerful conversation on Dajjal, the Antichrist, Surah Al-Kahf, anger, fitna, materialism, and how Muslims can protect their iman in the end times.The world feels angrier, more distracted, more divided, and more spiritually numb than ever before. Is this just the result of politics, social media, trauma, and modern life — or are we watching the stage quietly being set for the greatest deception mankind will ever face? Mufti Kamani explains why rage keeps rising, what happens when the intellect shuts down, how heedlessness destroys the heart, and why the warnings of the Quran and Sunnah feel so urgent in the age we are living through right now.In this deep-dive episode, Mufti Kamani breaks down the Islamic framework for understanding anger, the spiritual danger of ghaflah, the lessons of Surah Al-Kahf, the San Diego tragedy, the moral corruption of the “Epstein class,” and how runaway materialism, distraction, and dunya-worship are preparing people for the fitnah of Dajjal. We also discuss tazkiyah, purification of the heart, optimism in chaotic times, how to stay spiritually awake, and what it means to live with purpose when the modern world is designed to make you forget Allah.Mufti Kamani also opens up about why he left Qalam Seminary after more than a decade, what he is building next, his message to current and former Qalam students, and what it means to serve the Muslim Ummah in a time of confusion, corruption, and spiritual warfare.This conversation is about faith, anger, fear, deception, purpose, and survival — for every Muslim trying to keep their heart alive in the modern age.JOIN OUR WEBSITE MEMBERSHIP! @ https://ansaripodcast.com*Join The Cosmos Club Newsletter:* https://www.ansaripodcast.com/cosmos-club*The Debt Clinic*: https://www.mydebtclinic.com/ansari*Provision Capital:* https://www.provisioncapital.com00:00 Join Our Community!01:20 Dajjal is Near, the World is Full of Anger07:56 We're Being Attacked from All Sides14:36 What if you have too much anger?16:06 Ad18:07 The Deception of the Antichrist25:22 How Vulnerable are We to the AntiChrist?30:52 What's the Point if the AntiChrist is Coming soon?43:00 Ad43:45 What Does the Quran Say About Surviving?59:43 Purification of the Heart in Era of the Epstein Class01:07:56 How to Be Optimistic in This Chaotic World01:21:54 Why Mufti Kamani Left Qalam Seminary01:33:22 A Message to Qalam Students01:36:28 Member Questions!01:38:19 Speed Round Questions01:44:52 Outro#dajjal #antichrist #muftikamani #qalam #podcast #anger*Listen on All Audio Platforms:* https://tr.ee/JeX-ILYSyj*Follow The Ansari Podcast**Instagram:* https://instagram.com/ansaripodcast*TikTok:* https://tiktok.com/@theansaripodcast*Twitter/X:* https://twitter.com/ansaripodcast

A love story, across timelines as one woman tries to reach the other through the words she left behind.In this episode, Tara sits down with Tarana Hussain Khan, writer and food historian, to talk about her novel The Courtesan, Her Lover and I, a book that moves between two women and their love stories separated by a century, bound together by letters that almost didn't survive.The conversation explores how Tarana first discovered Daag's letters to Hijab in archival material and why Hijab became such an enigma to her. Through Hijab's story, they get into the larger world of Tawaifs and the extraordinary dichotomy of women who were the most culturally significant of their time, yet whose writings were lost, romanticised, or dismissed. Through the parallel journeys of Hijab and Rukmini, a contemporary aspiring writer, they also unpack the realities of becoming a woman writer in India today, with Tarana reflecting her own insecurities of pursuing writing full-time and her relationships in Rukmini's world and the ways women now have more agency and opportunities than the generations before them. Tarana also opens up about her process in fiction and non-fiction, and the emotional toll of delving into these stories.They discuss Tarana's bold structural choice of writing Hijab's entire narrative in second person to let Rukmini speak directly to Hijab across centuries, questioning the silences left by history.Press play to be transported to a world of poetry, music and a love story of epic proportions. Books mentioned in this episode: Deg to Dastarkhan by Tarana HussainLast of the Earth by Deepa AnnaparaApplications for The Bound Publishing Course 2026 are now open.The Bound Publishing Course is a 3-month intensive course on book, magazine, and digital publishing.

While the gut microbiome often steals the spotlight, the microorganisms residing in our respiratory tract play a vital role in our health and immunity. In this episode, Dr. Sheena Fraser sits down with microbial ecologist Dr. Michael Cox to explore the fascinating, complex, and relatively uncharted territory of the lung microbiome.They discuss how the lung microbiome fundamentally differs from the gut, the daily flux of bacteria entering and leaving our airways, and the profound impacts of environmental factors like air pollution, smoking, vaping, and household cleaning products. Plus, Dr. Cox shares the massive challenges scientists face when studying these deep-tissue microbes and what the future of respiratory medicine might look like.What We Cover:From Seawater to Sputum: Using marine ecology techniques to decode human respiratory biology.Exploring the lungs' dynamic balance of microaspiration and mucociliary clearance.Meet the core lung bacteria (Streptococcus, Prevotella, Veillonella) and the puzzle of anaerobes in an oxygen-rich space.Environmental Disruptors: How pollution, smoking, and vaping inflame and alter the lung microbiome.Hidden Dangers of VOCs: The silent impact of everyday cleaning sprays and aerosols on respiratory health.Diet, Exercise, & Epigenetics: The systemic benefits of a high-fiber diet and fitness for chronic lung conditions like COPD and asthma.About Dr. Michael Cox is a microbial ecologist and the PGR Lead for the Institute of Microbiology and Infection at the University of Birmingham. His research focuses on the bacteria that reside in the respiratory tract in the context of respiratory diseases (such as COPD and Cystic Fibrosis). His lab works to understand the function of the respiratory microbiome, translate these findings for clinical benefit, and expand our understanding of the respiratory ecosystem beyond just bacteria.Connect with Dr Michael Cox:University of BirminghamScientific References & Further Reading:Cumming, K.

Vascular trauma care looks a lot different when the OR is improvised, supplies are limited, and limb salvage decisions cannot wait. On this episode of the BackTable Podcast, host Dr. Sabeen Dhand interviews vascular surgeon Dr. Ahmad Hussain, a Southern California private-practice “hired gun” who volunteered on a WHO/UN-coordinated humanitarian mission to Gaza after an orthopedic colleague requested vascular surgeons due to widespread limb loss. --- Get the BackTable apphttps://www.backtable.com/app --- Timestamps 00:00 - Introduction04:02 - Why Volunteer In Gaza?07:41 - Logistics and Crossing Into Gaza10:45 - Hospital as Refugee Camp13:34 - First Vascular Trauma Case18:24 - Mass Casualty Triage23:20 - Kids Guiding Doctors27:09 - Evacuation Uncertainty32:03 - Would You Go Back?37:55 - How to Volunteer39:30 - Show Wrap Up and Credits --- More about this episode Dr. Hussain describes entering through the Rafah border with suitcases of medical supplies, working in a hospital functioning as a refugee camp for tens of thousands, and treating shrapnel-related vascular trauma with limited imaging (mainly ultrasound and X-ray), scarce anesthesia, and minimal surgical resources, relying heavily on skilled local medical students and residents. He recounts mass-casualty triage, the emotional impact of caring for injured children, bonding with the children who assisted the volunteers, and the dangerous, militarized evacuation via Israel with U.S. embassy assistance. He says he wants to return, but notes tightened restrictions and dwindling aid, and he recommends other organizations, noting any specialty of medical professionals should consider volunteering. --- Resources Gift of Disability Alleviation (GODA)https://indushospital.ca/appeal/gift-of-disability-alleviation-goda/ --- BackTable Vascular & Interventional (VI) is the go-to podcast for interventional radiologists, vascular surgeons, and interventional cardiologists.

In this episode, Dr Fatima Rajina is joined by Marieha Hussain to talk about her experience of the Coconuts trial. A case that saw the political activist being charged with, and eventually proven innocent of, a racially aggravated public order offence for showcasing a satirical placard labelling Rishi Sunak and Suella Braverman as “coconuts” prompting the fundamental question “Who has the right to police your language”? In November 2023, Marieha was arrested for displaying a placard labelling prominent exponents of the then-Tory government as “coconuts” during a pro-Palestine protest. According to the charges put on her, the term coconut was equivalent to a racist slur. Yet, Black and Brown activists have historically used it to call out members of their communities who aligned with colonial powers and white supremacists.

In this episode of IsraelCast, Steven Shalowitz welcomes back Hussain Abdul-Hussain to discuss his new book, The Arab Case for Israel. Drawing on history, geopolitics, and his own personal journey from Iraq and Lebanon to Washington, D.C., Hussain argues that normalization with Israel is not only possible, but in the strategic interest of Arab states and societies. He explores how Iran's aggression has reshaped Gulf thinking, why Egypt and Jordan's "cold peace" has fallen short of its potential, and how the Abraham Accords offer a far more promising people-to-people model. The conversation also examines Lebanon's future, Saudi Arabia's calculations, Qatar's double game, and the roots of anti-Israel narratives in both Arab nationalism and political Islam. Along the way, Hussain reflects on culture, identity, and what it means to challenge deeply entrenched orthodoxies from within the Arab world. This is a candid, provocative, and deeply informed conversation about peace, modernity, and the changing Middle East.

The narratives that claim Muslims are "new" to Europe are in part fueling the Islamophobia we see on the continent and across the globe today. But what if we knew and celebrated the fact that Muslim people have always been an integral part of the European story?In Part 2 of our conversation, Tharik Hussain—an award-winning author, historian, and journalist—returns to help us dismantle the long-standing myth of Jews versus Muslims always fighting each other.

Dr. Abid Hussain is a triple board-certified cardiologist in cardiology, internal medicine, and functional medicine. After years in the traditional hospital system in New Jersey, he walked away to focus on what actually prevents disease — and now practices at the Boulder Longevity Institute, combining conventional medicine with peptides, HRT, and longevity protocols.This is one of the most important conversations we've had on the podcast. If you're using hormones, peptides, or GLPs — or you're thinking about it — you need to hear what a real cardiologist has to say about all of it.In this episode, Hunter and Dr. Abid cover why cholesterol alone is a terrible predictor of heart disease, what APOB and particle size actually tell you, and why the AI-powered cardiac imaging most people have never heard of is the real state of the art. They break down the testosterone and heart disease myth — fully debunked — along with hematocrit, blood clots, and what's actually dangerous on TRT. They cover the Women's Health Initiative, why bioidentical and synthetic hormones are not the same thing, and what women of any age need to know about HRT.Then the conversation shifts to peptides — how BPC-157, TB-500, and Thymosin Alpha-1 benefit the cardiovascular system, what the SELECT trial proved about GLPs and heart health, why synthetic growth hormone and secretagogues are completely different, and how to think about cancer risk before starting GH protocols. They close with SS-31, Humanin, MOTS-C, and why the order you use mitochondrial peptides in actually matters — plus a deep dive into SGLT2 inhibitors, the most underrated longevity drug almost nobody in this space is talking about.Episode 3 of The Hunter Williams Podcast.https://hunterwilliamshealth.com/Podcast───────────────────────────CONNECT WITH DR.

Welcome to the latest episode of LIFTS, your bite-sized dose of the Latest Industry Fitness Trends and Stories. In this special episode recorded live at PerformX, hosts Matthew Januszek and Mohammed Iqbal explore one of the most significant and rapidly evolving topics in health and fitness today: the rise of GLP-1 medications and what they mean for the fitness industry. Joined by Dr Hussain Al-Zubaidi, GP, personal trainer, health coach, and one of the UK's leading educators on obesity management and lifestyle medicine, the conversation explores how these medications are reshaping the health landscape. As GLP-1 treatments become more widely used across the US and UK, gyms are beginning to see a new type of members entering their facilities, individuals who may be starting their health journey for the first time and looking for guidance on building sustainable habits. The discussion explores how GLP-1 medications work, the challenges around muscle loss during rapid weight reduction, and why strength training, nutrition, and lifestyle change are critical for long-term health outcomes. The panel also examines how healthcare systems such as the NHS are approaching GLP-1 treatments, the risks of relying on medication alone, and why fitness operators may become one of the most important environments for supporting members during and after treatment. From body composition tracking and behaviour change to collaboration between healthcare and fitness professionals, this conversation explores the growing role gyms could play in supporting sustainable health outcomes. This episode is Part 2 of a three-part series recorded live at PerformX, exploring the ideas shaping the future of fitness. In this episode, we cover: Why GLP-1 medications are transforming the weight-loss landscape The difference between weight loss and health gain  Why muscle preservation matters during GLP-1 treatment How exercise can reduce the risk of rapid weight regain What gym operators can do to better support members using GLP-1s Why body composition matters more than the number on the scale The opportunity for collaboration between healthcare and fitness professionals

 From the moment of its founding, and, in truth, before its founding, the State of Israel has faced the determined opposition of the Arab world. The armies of five Arab nations invaded Israel the day after it declared independence in 1948. In 1967, after a similar attempt again failed, the Arab League met at Khartoum and issued the famous three no's: no peace with Israel, no recognition of Israel, no negotiation with Israel. Terrorism, war, and boycott followed across the decades—the PLO, the intifadas, the missile campaigns, and the Iranian proxy network that exploited Arab grievance and stretched from Lebanon to Gaza to Yemen, and whose efforts came to a gruesome crescendo on October 7, 2023. Arab opposition to Israel has been, for most of the past century, an organizing principle of Arab political life. It was the cause around which governments mobilized populations, and around which Palestinians built an identity. And so it is genuinely remarkable when a man who grew up inside that world, who absorbed its assumptions as a child, who knows its arguments from the inside, sits down and writes a book called The Arab Case for Israel. Hussain Abdul-Hussain was born in Iraq, raised in Lebanon, and serves as a research fellow at the Foundation for Defense of Democracies. On this episode, he joins Mosaic's editor Jonathan Silver to discuss The Arab Case for Israel. This week's episode of the Tikvah Podcast is generously sponsored by Dr. Michael Schmerin and family.

NEWS WEAKLY – The Story of KarbalaThis week, I step away from the headlines to tell one of the most powerful stories in the Muslim world: the Battle of Karbala. The death of Husain ibn Ali in 680 CE shaped the split between Sunni and Shia Islam and created a moral narrative about power, justice, and martyrdom that still echoes through modern politics, from Karachi to Tehran.It's a very different episode, but I feel like it's a central element missing from the analysis and understanding of Iran and the IRGC's self perception, global Shia empathy towards the Ayatollah, and how the Iranian government has become that which it purports to hate.Shenanigans and tomfoolery will be back next week.

In this episode, I speak with Marieha Hussain about the story behind the Coconut Placard Case.We begin with her early life and identity as a Muslim South Asian woman in post-9/11 Britain, before turning to the protest that led to a police investigation, a criminal trial, and ultimately her acquittal.We unpack what really happened at the pro-Palestine march, and why a satirical placard featuring Rishi Sunak and Suella Braverman triggered such a rapid police response.Marieha explains how an anonymous right-wing blog came to play a role in the case, and how the word “coconut”, widely understood within South Asian communities, was reframed by the state as a hate crime.Our conversation explores the tension between free speech and hate speech, the policing of protest in the UK, the emotional toll of being prosecuted, and the role community solidarity played throughout the trial.Marieha also reflects on what this case reveals about activism, racism, and state power, as well as the advice she would give to others considering speaking out.

Our guest today is Tharik Hussain, a travel writer turned historian who has recently produced  an enchanting study of Europe's Islamic history. To investigate this at close quarters, in this episode he takes us back to Córdoba in the year 929 – the greatest city in Europe at the time, a place of wealth and splendour with a population of around 100,000. By 929 Córdoba was emerging as a rival power base to Baghdad. At a Friday prayers, early in the year, its ruler Abdul Rahman III declared himself Caliph of the Caliphate of Cordoba, Al Andalus. This was a decisive political move. Tharik takes us into the Grand Mosque to see this happen and he then guides us on a tour of two more equally intriguing sites. Tharik Hussain is the author Muslim Europe: A Journey in Search of a Fourteen Hundred Year History Show notes Scene One: Friday Prayers in the Great Mosque of Córdoba. 17 January 929. Scene Two: Inside a Córdoban hospital, or 'maristan'. Scene Three: One of the great synagogues of Cordoba in search of a young Jewish boy called Hasdai Ibn Shaprut.

If your AR feels like a maze of phone calls, spreadsheets, and “we'll match it later,” this conversation shows a cleaner path. We sit down with Fauwaz Hussain, Senior Director of B2B Partnerships and Strategy at Global Payments, to break down what actually speeds cash and what quietly stalls it. From card-not-present realities to complex terms and partial shipments, we map the B2B differences that make order-to-cash harder and the practical changes that remove friction fast.We get specific about embedding payments inside your ERP so invoices, settlements, and the general ledger line up automatically. That shift kills rekeying errors, collapses department silos, and gives support, sales, and finance the same live truth. Security gets stronger when card data never touches email or recorded calls, and PCI compliance becomes manageable when you use certified, cloud-based vaults and enforce simple rules like “no cards by phone.” Fauwaz explains why publishers like Microsoft, SAP, and Sage now run tighter marketplaces, how VARs and ISVs evaluate payment apps, and why a one-stop provider reduces risk across gateways, vaults, and processing.We also cover the cash-flow moves that work right away: self-serve portals with open invoices, one-click payment links by email or text, stored credentials for auto-pay, and accepting multiple methods from ACH to single-use virtual cards. Then we look forward - AI-driven cash application, predictive delinquencies, Level 2/3 data validation, and API-first architectures that connect e-commerce, field service, and ERP into a single payment fabric. If you're leading AR, finance, or operations, you'll leave with a clear playbook to modernize without compromising compliance.

This episode uncovers a hidden pattern that connects the crucifixion of Jesus, the tragedy of Karbala, and the knowledge of the prophets themselves. Drawing directly from the Bible, early Christian sources, Islamic narrations, and esoteric traditions, it explores why Adam, Moses, and Jesus were aware of Karbala long before it occurred, and why events surrounding Jesus and Imam al-Hussain may not be as they appear on the surface. This is not speculation or symbolism, but a deep theological investigation into substitution, divine protection, and the way truth can be concealed in plain sight. Viewers are invited to question inherited narratives and examine what scripture actually says when read carefully.

In this webinar, Middle East analyst Hussain Abdul-Hussain argues that Saudi Arabia's recent retreat from normalization with Israel reflects a deeper strategic reversal driven by economic strain and geopolitical recalculation. What once appeared to be a reformist trajectory under Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman has, in his assessment, stalled—and the response has been a return to populism and state-managed Islamism. Hussain grounds his analysis in economic reality. Saudi Arabia's oil-based model, he explains, can no longer sustain a rapidly growing population amid global oversupply and depressed prices. The kingdom requires far higher oil prices to balance its budget, yet the market has not delivered. Meanwhile, high-profile diversification projects have failed to generate meaningful returns. As fiscal pressure increases, Saudi leadership has reverted to familiar political tools. As Hussain puts it, “When governments realize they cannot fix problems structurally, they revert to populism. And populism needs enemies.” That shift, he argues, explains the resurgence of anti-American and antisemitic rhetoric across Saudi media, religious sermons, and social platforms—channels he emphasizes are tightly controlled and reflect official policy rather than rogue opinion. This rhetoric marks a sharp departure from the language of reform and regional cooperation that characterized Saudi messaging only a short time ago. On Israel, Hussain contends that the strategic logic has changed. After Israel's conflict with Iran weakened Tehran's regional position, Saudi Arabia no longer views Israel as a necessary counterweight to Iranian power. That reduced threat perception weakened one of the main incentives for normalization. At the same time, he argues that Saudi leadership continues to misunderstand the nature of peace with Israel, treating it as a concession rather than a mutually beneficial economic decision. Saudi Arabia still thinks peace with Israel is a reward to Israel, they don't understand that it's a reward to themselves. Several themes recur throughout the discussion: Economic stress as the primary driver: Oil revenues are no longer sufficient, diversification has underperformed, and fiscal pressure is growing. Populism as a fallback strategy: With reform stalled, leadership has turned to ideological mobilization to deflect attention from domestic constraints. Eroding trust in the United States: Inconsistent U.S. policy and abandoned regional partners have pushed Saudi Arabia to hedge rather than align. A stark contrast with the UAE: The UAE's diversification strategy and peace with Israel are presented as a durable, working model Saudi Arabia has not replicated. Realignment toward Turkey and Qatar: Hussain argues that U.S. tolerance of Islamist regimes has encouraged Saudi Arabia's ideological drift. Throughout the webinar, Hussain repeatedly returns to the same conclusion: Saudi Arabia's central vulnerability is economic, not military. Israel does not threaten the kingdom's security—but stagnation does. As he summarizes, what should keep MBS awake at night is not Israel or Iran—it's the Saudi economy. Until Saudi leadership internalizes that reality—and recognizes normalization with Israel as an economic necessity rather than a political favor—Hussain sees little reason to expect a near-term course correction. This summary was written with AI and could contain errors.

Inglourious Basterds (2009), written and directed by Quentin Tarantino, revolves around two plots to assassinate Nazi leaders during the closing years of World War II. One plot centers on a secret band of Jewish-American soldiers under the command of Ltn. Aldo Raine (Brad Pitt)—the “Basterds”—who terrorize Nazis. The other involves Shosanna Dreyfus (Melanie Laurent), a young Jewish woman who narrowly escapes death at the hands of notorious “Jew hunter” Hans Landa (Christoph Waltz) and flees to Paris where she runs a cinema under a false identity. The plot lines converge at the Paris cinema where the Basterds and Shosanna are each separately plotting to kill Hitler and other Nazi leaders while they are attending the premiere of a German propaganda film. The film utilizes alternate history to explore themes surrounding the pursuit of justice against the perpetrators of mass atrocities and the complex relationship between law and vengeance.Timestamps:0:00    Introduction2:37     Reimagining the arc of justice8:00     Alternatives to the progress narrative16:51     The power of violence and revenge21:56     Counterfactuals and alternative histories27:03     The limits of legalistic responses to atrocities32:24     The role of cinema in Nazi Germany39:00     Narratives of progress44:10     Ending with a primal moment of revenge  Further reading:Hussain, Nadine, “‘Inglorious Basterds': A Satirical Criticism of WWII Cinema and the Myth of the American War Hero,” 13(2) Inquiries Journal 1 (2021)Jackson, Robert H., Opening Statement before the International Military Tribunal, Robert H.
