Assalamu alaykum,As I begin my own spiritual journey, I want to hear from those who have taken this path before me. This podcast focuses on them and listening to their stories — uninterrupted. My name is Hebah Masood and I invite you to reflect on the trajectories of their lives, and the guidance and blessings provided by Allah swt along that journey.Ustadha Zaynab Mansour Ansari is the daughter of converts — an African American mother and a Lebanese American father. Her parents converted to Islam in the 1970s and met Imam Zaid Shakir during the latter part of the decade. The impact of Imam Zaid's friendship with her parents was profound and their spiritual journeys became deeply intertwined.When Ustadha Zaynab was in her late teens, her parents wanted her to study Islam so the family moved to Iran for a few years, and later, at the advice of Imam Zaid and his wife, Umm Hassan, Ustadha Zaynab and her sister were enrolled at Abu Noor College in Damascus, Syria.She returned to the United States after over 4 years of study in Syria and enrolled at Georgia State University, where she earned degrees in history and Middle Eastern Studies. During this time, she started a family and was invited to volunteer for the pioneering SunniPath Answers Service.Ustadha Zaynab describes herself as a late bloomer. She felt intellectually and academically stimulated as a student in Damascus, but it wasn't until her late 30s that she had a spiritual awakening — what she refers to as a Ghazalian moment of realization that what she was teaching was not necessarily being translated into her own life.Today Ustadha Zaynab is the women's scholar-in-residence at Tayseer Seminary where she teaches and mentors students under the guidance of Shaykh Hassan Lachheb. She also offers presentations, workshops, and classes for a number of other organizations, including for the Ribaat program founded by her teacher, Anse Dr. Tamara Gray.In this episode, she opens up about and reflects on the tragic death of her husband over five years ago. She also discusses the benefits of having female-only learning spaces and the importance of female role models and spiritual guides.Her story intersects with many familiar names: Imam Zaid Shakir and his wife Umm Hassan, Zaheer (Sunni Path), Anse Dr. Tamara Gray, Shaykh Shaykh Faraz Rabbani, Shaykh Muhammad Sukkar, Shaykha Houda al-Habash, Ustadh Dr. Nadeem Siddiqi, Shaykh Hassan Lachheb-Also available on most other major podcast streaming services including Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts, Spotify, Podcast Addict, Pocket Casts, Castbox and Podbay.-Do you enjoy this podcast?

When people face tragedy and challenges in life, what helps them to persevere? In this episode, Imam Zaid Shakir attempts to answer that question to unlock your power to overcome challenges, and succeed. Fortitude is the moral virtue that ensures firmness in difficulties and constancy in the pursuit of the good. It strengthens the resolve to resist temptations and to overcome obstacles in the moral life.© Copyright 2021 New Islamic Directions™

Do you know how to lead someone into a relationship with God? If someone came to you today and said, "I want to be a Muslim, and show me how." The truth is that many Muslims may not be prepared to answer that question. In this episode, Imam Zaid Shakir provides strategy and spiritual insights from the Quran and Hadith if put on the spot.© Copyright 2021 New Islamic Directions™

Assalamu alaykum,As I begin my own spiritual journey, I want to hear from those who have taken this path before me. This podcast focuses on them and listening to their stories — uninterrupted. My name is Hebah Masood and I invite you to reflect on the trajectories of their lives, and the guidance and blessings provided by Allah swt along that journey.Shaykh Zane Abdo was born and raised in Liverpool, UK. From a young age, he was inspired by lectures from scholars like Shaykh Hamza Yusuf, Shaykh Abdul-Hakim Murad and Shaykh Nuh Ha Mim Keller to study abroad and bring back scholarship to the UK.After studying in Tarim, Yemen, for just under a decade, Shaykh Zane returned to the UK in 2010 as the imam of the South Wales Islamic Centre in Cardiff, a port city which has its own unique history of Muslim migrants from Yemen and Somalia.He is now a Muslim advisor and university chaplain at the University of Liverpool and Liverpool John Moores University. His course for university students, “Simplifying the Chaos,” is linked below. You can also find him at Spiritual Corner with Sheikh Zane.In this episode, he talks about Islam in the UK, the challenges with working with different Muslims groups and his experiences in dealing with extremists and radicalized Muslims throughout his life - both in Cardiff and then as a prison chaplain in Liverpool. He opens up about the importance of not just “copying and pasting” what he's learned in Tarim, but adapting it in a way the suits the needs of the people he's serving in the UK.And finally Shaykh Zane shares a touching story from his youth about an emotional moment with Shaykh Hamza Yusuf that brought Shaykh Hamza to tears. Habib Ali al-Jifri who was also present remarked that the young man had stirred something in Shaykh Hamza's heart. That story has stuck with him all these years, leading him to inspire others the way Shaykh Hamza inspired him.His story intersects with many familiar names: الحبيب عمر بن حفيظ - Habib Omar, the late Mufti of Tarim Habib `Ali al-Mashhur bin Hafiz, Habib Abdullah Bilfaqih, Habib Salim al-Shatiri, Habib Ali al-Jifri English, Habib Abdur Rahman bin Ali Mashur bin Hafiz, Shaykh Umar Husayn Al-Khatib, Shaykh Nuh Ha Mim Keller, Shaykh Mohsen Al-Najjar, Shaykh Hamza Yusuf, Shaykh Abdal Hakim Murad / Timothy J.

What good is it, if someone claims to have faith but has no deeds? In this episode is a helpful reminder from Imam Zaid Shakir that deeds without faith are rootless, and faith without deeds is fruitless. A long life is worthy of rewards when the commands of God are fulfilled.© Copyright 2021 New Islamic Directions™

In the twentieth century, the question of Islamic Tradition generates an intense debate within normative and historical Islam. The first step lies in distinguishing well what belongs to the teaching of Islam that forms the ritualistic life of the Muslim. In this episode, Imam Zaid Shakir depicts how Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) meticulously applied the precepts of the Koran at every moment and detail of his life. In this way, a pillar of Muslim faith is constructed. This source of light and guidance can lead us completely.© Copyright 2021 New Islamic Directions™

When expressing gratitude, we must never forget that the highest appreciation is not to utter words but to live by them. In this episode, Imam Zaid Shakir presents a distinct clarification of "Thanksgiving", identifies an aspect of cultural heritage reflection, and highlights the nature of thankfulness according to our religion.© Copyright 2021 New Islamic Directions™

Sometimes we forget the reward of The Hereafter, and lose focus of the genuine goal in life. In this episode, Imam Zaid Shakir reminds us to be strong, conscious of our real purpose, and honoring the legacy of Prophet Ibrahim (عليه السلام) a symbol of sacrifice and submission.© Copyright 2021 New Islamic Directions™

We hear about tragedies often, whether it be from the seerah, Islamic history, or in the present day, and we express sorrow for those that experienced them. The experience is completely different when the tragedy hits close to home. A great loss has hit the Miftaah family recently and has left our hearts shattered. One of the beloved Waheed brothers, Shaykh Abdul Raheem Waheed, has left our world and returned to Allah SWT as a shaheed inshallah. In the aftermath, Imam Zaid Shakir held a conversation with Shaykh Abdullah Waheed on grief and how to move through these difficult situations.

Zaid Shakir, a cofounder of Zaytuna College, is a prominent American Muslim scholar. He has taught courses in Arabic, Islamic spirituality, contemporary Muslim thought, Islamic history and politics, and Shafi’i fiqh at the College. He speaks and writes on a wide range of topics, and he travels frequently across the United States to support institution-building projects in the Muslim community. In 2007, he was a signatory of the 2007 letter “A Common Word Between Us and You,” an appeal for peace and cooperation between Christians and Muslims, and in 2016, he presided over the public memorial for Muhammad Ali.

My name is Hebah Masood and I invite you to reflect on the trajectories of their lives, and the guidance and blessings provided by Allah SWT along that journey. Like many Afghans, Imam Yama Niazi's family left Afghanistan during the Soviet invasion. By the '90s, he was an 18 year old aspiring rapper in Santa Barbara, California, a typical American teen who knew little about the religion but made a dua that changed the course of his life. One day, perhaps in answer to that dua, a mysterious visitor stopped by the family business. The visitor, a convert and former rapper, befriended him. He taught him how to pray, the basic tenets of the religion and mentored him. Imam Yama gave up rapping, began practicing Islam and eventually sought sacred knowledge. Through an ISNA catalogue, he learned about Shaykh Hamza Yusuf and started driving five hours weekly to the take classes with Shaykh Hamza in the Bay area. The classes introduced him to other scholars including Shaykh Salek ibn Siddina and Shaykh Muhammad Yaqoubi and a whole new world. In this episode, Imam Yama narrates an emotional story of how Allah SWT guided him. He gives important and nuanced advice about dawah, the limits of interfaith work and the challenges of being an American Imam. He now lives in Vancouver, B.C., teaches youth classes at SeekersGuidance: The Global Islamic Seminary and runs the The Blessed Tree Foundation, a non-profit that focuses on spreading the beauty of Islam. His story intersects with many familiar names: Shaykh Hamza Yusuf, Shaykh Salek ibn Siddina, Shaykh Shaykh Muhammad al-Yaqoubi الشيخ محمد اليعقوبي,,الحبيب عمر بن حفيظ - Habib Omar, Shaykh Yahya Rhodus, Shaykh Rami Nsour, Shaykh AbdulKarim Yahya, Ustadh Feraidoon Mojadedi, Shaykh Mufti Abdur-Rahman ibn Yusuf Mangera , Imam Zaid Shakir, Shaykh Faraz Rabbani, Shaykh Tameem Ahmadi-Also available on most other major podcast streaming services including Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts, Spotify, Podcast Addict, Pocket Casts, Castbox and Podbay.-Do you enjoy this podcast?

Shaykh Jamal Ud-deen Hysaw describes his childhood as nomadic. He moved across the United States, living in suburban communities where he often felt the effects of racism and isolation, and found it difficult fitting in with both his Black and white classmates. His journey to Islam began in college as he started exploring Black history and reading The Autobiography of Malcolm X. A few years after he converted, he was introduced to then translator Shaykh Nuh Ha Mim Keller who was visiting Atlanta at the time. He got his phone number and after months of almost daily phone calls, Shaykh Nuh and his wife Shaykha Umm Sahl suggested that he come to Damascus and study Islamic sciences full-time. He was in Syria for three years before becoming one of the first foreigners to be invited to Tarim by Habib Omar. He eventually settled there for five years to finish his studies. Shaykh Jamal is a natural storyteller. This is a four hour interview, but he keeps the listener engaged from beginning to end with stories from his life and beautiful descriptions of his time in Hadhramaut. He talks about what it was like seeking knowledge in the '90s with scholars like Habib Omar and Shaykh Nuh. There's also great advice here about the importance of humility throughout one's spiritual journey. While Shaykh Jamal may not be a household name, he was instrumental in guiding many on their path to knowledge. Shaykh Jamal Ud-Deen Hysaw describes his childhood as nomadic.

My name is Hebah Masood and I invite you to reflect on the trajectories of their lives, and the guidance and blessings provided by Allah swt along that journey. Reflecting on the order and harmony within nature, Shaykh AbdulKarim Yahya knew at a young age that God existed. He embraced Islam in his junior year of high school in Berkeley, California. A translation of Imam Ghazali's renowned "Ihya Uloom al-Deen" ("The Revival of the Religious Sciences") inspired him to seek out teachers who embodied those characteristics. His journey took him to Syria where he studied Arabic and Tajweed. And then onto Tarim, Yemen, where he was one of the first American students to enroll in the newly opened Dar al Mustafa. That became his base for 13 years, and he became a translator for Habib Omar and the other habaib all over the world. After returning to the U.S. he would eventually establish Dar Al-Rahma in 2017 to serve and teach the Muslims of the Detroit area. In this episode he talks about serving and learning with people of knowledge over the last 23 years. He also discusses the inner-city community in Detroit where he teaches, and how it's been impacted by COVID-19 and ongoing police brutality against the Black community.
