In this episode of the HR Leaders Podcast, we sit down with Khadija Ben Hammada, Member of the Executive Board and Chief People Officer at Merck Group, to unpack how HR can lead through AI transformation without losing the human heart of the organization.Khadija shares why leaders cannot run global organizations from an ivory tower, and why being close to employees on the ground creates the trust, safety, and pride people need to speak up. She explains how field visits, human connection, and a strong sense of global community help Merck stay united across regions, even as the world outside becomes more fragmented.Most importantly, she breaks down how Merck is building AI capability across the business, from AI literacy for everyone, to leader upskilling, internal AI tools, hackathons, flagship use cases, and HR agents that can improve employee experience at scale. Through it all, Khadija is clear: AI should take tasks, not humanity, and HR must stay at the intersection of business, technology, and empathy.
La historia de Khadija Amin es la de un país que intenta borrar a las mujeres del espacio público, la de una mujer que se planta contra los hombres y el poder, la de una vida que se niega a desaparecer. Los talibanes eliminaron su imagen del informativo nacional, huyó de Kabul para evitar que la mataran y tuvo que dejar atrás a sus tres hijos, por cuya custodia sigue peleando desde España. Contamos toda su historia con ella junto a la periodista Mónica Nion, con la que ha escrito el libro “Sin Velo'”.

On this episode of The Jimmy Bonds Podcast, I sit down with CPA Khadija Bingham of Money Honey Financial for a powerful and honest conversation about money, mindset, and building real wealth—especially within our communities. Khadija shares her journey from working in corporate America at Goldman Sachs to stepping out on faith and becoming a full-time entrepreneur. We talk about what it really looks like to bet on yourself, push through fear, and create opportunities when the path isn't always clear. Her story is one of discipline, faith, and purpose—and it's filled with lessons that anyone looking to build something of their own can learn from. We also dig into practical topics that matter—tax preparation, small-business resources available right here in Philadelphia, and how everyday people can begin to understand their finances in a way that creates stability and long-term wealth. Khadija breaks things down in a way that makes sense, especially for those who may feel overwhelmed or unsure about where to start. As a Black woman entrepreneur, Khadija speaks openly about ownership, buying property, and creating financial security not just for herself, but for future generations. One of the most powerful messages she shares in this conversation is simple but real: sometimes you have to "do it afraid." Fear is going to show up—but purpose has to be bigger. This conversation is about more than taxes or business—it's about mindset, courage, and building something that lasts. If you're thinking about starting a business, growing your finances, or just trying to better understand your money, this episode is full of wisdom you don't want to miss.

This reflection on Sayyida Khadijah (ra) was shared at the Diyanet Center of America as part of the series "Prominent Women of Islam: Stories of Faith and Resilience" The Prophet (saw) said , “Mary, the daughter of Imran, was the best among the women (of the world of her time) and Khadijah is the best amongst the women (of this nation).” Sahih Al-Bukhari – Book 58 Hadith 164The Prophet (saw) said about Khadijah (ra): "God did not give me a better person than her. She believed in me when other people rejected me, she healed my disappointments when I needed that, she backed me and supported me while others blocked their support from me" (Musnad Ahmad)Abu Huraira reported that Gabriel came to God's Messenger (saw) and said: God's Messenger, lo. Khadija is coming to you with a vessel of seasoned food or drink. When she comes to you, offer her greetings from her Lord, the Exalted and Glorious, and on my behalf and give her glad tidings of a palace of jewels in Paradise wherein there is no noise and no toil. Sahih Muslim 2432

In this episode, I want to briefly define the brain gut health connection. The main question that only you can answer is are you willing to pursue nutrition as part of your anxiety, depression toolkit? Most people say they want to be heathy but won't give up that extra large burger with chips. I am not trying to make you give that up. But from experience I do know that I can't sustain physical or mental health eating junk food each and every day. Lord knows I tried. And if you do have anxiety, depression or the long list of things that can happen to people, then you have to take nutrition seriously. Your good gut microbiota need help and reinforcements. Resources Mentioned: There is an excellent 2 minute video that explains visually the brain and gut health connection. The video is from Professor Mark Dingman YT Channel Neuroscientifically Challenged. From 2025 is an post from New York Presbyterian Health Matters section of their website, who spoke with Dr. Benjamin Lebwohl, a gastroenterologist about the gut brain axis. The Cleveland Clinic has a 2023 blog post on the brain gut connection. It gives an overview, the functions, bit of an anatomy lesson and some of the conditions associated with an unhappy gut environment And for those that like the science straight (or is that neat?) there is a journal entry by Niazi, Madiha Khan, Hassan, Farooq, Tufail, Tabussam, ismail, Muhammad Amjed, Riaz, Khadija, The Role of Microbiome in Psychiatric Diseases (Insomnia and Anxiety/Depression) with Microbiological Mechanisms, Advanced Gut & Microbiome Research, 2023, 1566684, 9 pages, 2023.

In de schoonmaak werken veel vrouwen en mensen van kleur. Niet geheel toevallig is het óók een sector die totaal ondergewaardeerd wordt. Zonder de schoonmaak draait de maatschappij niet, toch is er weinig waardering voor het zware en belangrijke werk, zijn de rechten van schoonmakers niet op orde en is respect voor het vak en de mensen die erin werken ver te zoeken. Khadija Hyati kent de wereld van binnenuit en staat al jaren op de barricade voor betere werkomstandigheden voor mensen in de schoonmaak. Verder: een geit, de vloerenman, internationale vrouwendag en een conciërge die je zal verbazen.

In this soulful episode, Erica Gifford Mills and her guest, Khadija Zahra, explore the journey of healing the inner child and reconnecting with the woman beneath the roles she plays. Khadija shares how faith, food, culture, and introspection helped her rediscover self-love and spiritual authority. This conversation reminds us that living it up begins with loving ourselves enough to let go.

"El burka es como una prisión que no puedes ni respirar y no puedes ver el mundo". Con esta contundencia se expresa Khadija Amin, la periodista que hasta el 15 de agosto de 2021 fue el rostro de las noticias en la televisión nacional de Afganistán. Aquella mañana, tras presentar su último telediario, el regreso de los talibanes al poder le arrebató su profesión, su libertad y el derecho a entrar en su propia redacción.
This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit groundeddaily.substack.comAssalamualaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh.Welcome back to Tafsir Thursday. We're in a new year, a new term, and that means new surahs to explore together.But this term is different. Instead of diving into one surah, we'll be studying two: Surah Al-Muzzammil and Surah Al-Muddathir. Why two? Three reasons: first, they're both relatively short. Second, their meanings are closely linked together. And third, in terms of chronology, these surahs were revealed back-to-back. They were among the earliest revelations to the Prophet ﷺ.Grounded is a reader-supported publication. To receive new posts and support my work, consider becoming a free or paid subscriber.The Context: Before we dive into Surah Al-Muzzammil, we need to understand when and why it was revealed.From a very young age, the Prophet ﷺ hated the evil practices in his community. He saw people worshipping idols, the rich abusing the poor, the powerful oppressing the weak. Women had no rights—treated as property, sold and traded. Children had no rights whatsoever. Daughters were buried alive.He didn't like it. But he couldn't find a solution.From age 35 onwards, he started doing spiritual seclusion. He would leave Mecca for days at a time, walk five or six kilometers outside the city, climb up a mountain, and settle in Cave Hira. There, he would worship Allah, make dua, and contemplate in the tradition of Prophet Ibrahim .Until one night when he was 40 years old, during the month of Ramadan, he was visited by a creature he didn't recognize. It wasn't a human being. The Prophet later described this creature as huge—so massive that wherever he looked (up, down, left, right), he could only see this being. It had wings that engulfed the entire horizon.The Prophet ﷺ was terrified.This creature—the angel Jibreel—told him: ‘Read.' The Prophet said, ‘I don't read.' The angel then hugged him so tightly he almost couldn't breathe, then released him. Again: ‘Read.' This happened three times. Then the angel recited the first five verses of Surah Al-Alaq, marking the beginning of revelation.The Prophet didn't know what had just happened. Had he gone crazy? Was he hallucinating? Was he possessed by jinn?He rushed home trembling, shivering, terrified, and met his wife Khadija. He said to her: ‘Zammiluni'—cover me with a blanket, cloak me. And she did.As the Prophet calmed down, Khadija asked what happened. He told her about the encounter in the cave. And she reassured him: ‘Allah will never abandon you, for you have the most beautiful akhlaq, the noblest of character.'They went to meet Khadija's uncle, Waraqah ibn Nawfal, a very learned man. Waraqah said: ‘You were visited by the very angels that came to Prophet Musa, Dawud, Isa, and all the previous prophets and messengers. That means you are a prophet, a messenger.'Grounded is a reader-supported publication. To receive new posts and support my work, consider becoming a free or paid subscriber.
In this episode, Khadija sits down with Rickeem Lashey for an honest conversation about belonging in ocean and climate work. They unpack why conservation efforts are stronger when communities are included from the start, and why young people should feel empowered to contribute even without a specific qualification or job title. Rickeem shares his growing confidence as a PhD student in sustainable transitions, focused on making environmental justice more meaningful and practical for communities.Together, they reflect on the realities of showing up in global spaces like UNOC3, the barriers Caribbean organisations and British Overseas Territories face when it comes to access and representation, and why visibility matters for small island communities. The conversation also zooms into the Cayman Islands, touching on mangrove protection, development pressures, and the role of youth-led groups pushing for change. They close on storytelling, photography, and community as powerful tools to shift narratives and expand who gets to be seen, heard, and trusted in conservation.
Dans cet épisode des Geeks des Chiffres, on reçoit Khadija Sabri, expert-comptable, qui a fait grandir un cabinet « traditionnel » en cabinet de conseil. Son point de départ est déjà atypique : elle attire des clients sans site internet. Son point d'arrivée l'est encore plus : reprise du cabinet où elle travaillait, passage de 4 à 15 collaborateurs en 5 ans, ouverture d'un bureau au Maroc et surtout une approche radicalement orientée stratégie, gouvernance, management et psychologie du dirigeant. On parle de ce que beaucoup de cabinets évitent : - Pourquoi une entreprise qui “marche” peut laisser un dirigeant à découvert tous les mois - Comment sortir du duo TVA/bilan pour devenir un vrai partenaire de décision - PNL, DISC, posture managériale : les outils concrets pour mieux communiquer et mieux déléguer - Recruter autrement (profils en reconversion, culture cabinet, sécurité psychologique) - Construire une offre premium (rendez-vous stratégiques payants) - La place des femmes dans l'expertise comptable et le vrai sujet derrière la “légitimité” Un épisode qui montre ce qu'un cabinet peut devenir quand il remet l'humain au centre, sans sacrifier la performance.

Picture this: you're fifteen years old, excited about your future, dreaming of becoming a doctor or engineer. Then overnight, armed men tell you your dreams don't matter because you're a girl. This is the reality for millions of Afghan girls since August 2021, when the Taliban regained control of Afghanistan. While the world watched in horror as girls were banned from schools, one woman refused to accept this fate. Her name is Khadija Haidary, and what she did will restore your faith in human courage. When the Taliban took power, they systematically dismantled an entire generation's future. Over three million girls were suddenly told they couldn't learn. Universities became ghost towns. Women professors lost their jobs overnight. While others fell silent, Khadija chose to fight back in the most powerful way possible. Khadija, an Afghan educator, activist and writer understood that knowledge couldn't be destroyed by decrees. It could only be hidden, protected, and passed on in secret. What she did next was both dangerous and brilliant. Instead of accepting defeat, Khadija became part of an underground network of educators who refused to let Afghan girls lose their right to learn. These brave women created secret schools, hidden classrooms, and clandestine education networks that operated under the Taliban's nose. While international headlines focus on politics and military situations, there's an entire shadow education system operating in Afghanistan. Women like Haidary have created mobile schools that move locations constantly to avoid detection. They teach in basements, private homes, and hidden corners of buildings. They use coded language and secret signals to communicate with students and parents. The methods are ingenious and heartbreaking at the same time. Teachers disguise themselves as housekeepers or relatives visiting homes. They carry books hidden under traditional clothing. Students attend classes pretending to be at social gatherings. These educators have turned resistance into an art form. Khadija's work represents something bigger than just education. It's about preserving hope in the darkest of times. People like her remind us that resistance takes many forms and that change doesn't always come from governments or international organizations. Sometimes it comes from ordinary people, other times from teachers and sometimes it comes from students who refuse to stop learning, no matter what obstacles they face. Every day, brave women like Haidary are writing new chapters of resistance and hope. They're proving that while you can close schools, you can't close minds. While you can ban books, you can't ban the human spirit's desire to grow and learn. That's the real story of Afghanistan's education crisis, and that's why Khadija Haidary's courage matters more than any political headline you'll ever read. Watch this interview and hear about Khadija's decision to walk from Afghanistan to Pakistan so she could write freely, and fight for girls education back home. Here Khadija speak about her love of the Jewish people, and similarities between her and Anne Frank. Khadija is so incredibly impressive. Be inspired Pay homage to humankind through her. Well done, Khadija. Well done!!! ——
Picture this: you're fifteen years old, excited about your future, dreaming of becoming a doctor or engineer. Then overnight, armed men tell you your dreams don't matter because you're a girl. This is the reality for millions of Afghan girls since August 2021, when the Taliban regained control of Afghanistan. While the world watched in horror as girls were banned from schools, one woman refused to accept this fate. Her name is Khadija Haidary, and what she did will restore your faith in human courage. When the Taliban took power, they systematically dismantled an entire generation's future. Over three million girls were suddenly told they couldn't learn. Universities became ghost towns. Women professors lost their jobs overnight. While others fell silent, Khadija chose to fight back in the most powerful way possible. Khadija, an Afghan educator, activist and writer understood that knowledge couldn't be destroyed by decrees. It could only be hidden, protected, and passed on in secret. What she did next was both dangerous and brilliant. Instead of accepting defeat, Khadija became part of an underground network of educators who refused to let Afghan girls lose their right to learn. These brave women created secret schools, hidden classrooms, and clandestine education networks that operated under the Taliban's nose. While international headlines focus on politics and military situations, there's an entire shadow education system operating in Afghanistan. Women like Haidary have created mobile schools that move locations constantly to avoid detection. They teach in basements, private homes, and hidden corners of buildings.

Deux figures de la « green Tech » s'affichent au menu de la sélection de cette semaine. La Sénégalaise Dossou Khadija Kouyaté, reine de l'entrepreneuriat vert et de la finance climatique et diplômée de l'Institut supérieur de management de Dakar en sciences politiques et relations internationales, conçoit des solutions climatiques qui tiennent compte des réalités africaines afin de faire de la transition climatique une opportunité économique et non pas une contrainte.

As we think about systems change, it's all too easy to get caught up the technical design of new institutions and 'system architecture'. But if we are being asked to consider a qualitatively different way governing, convening, educating, distributing resources - all of the fundamentals of society -then perhaps we can start by asking: What has LOVE got to do with any of it? As I share at the start of this episode, it's been clear to me that it's difficult to bring the concept of love into such discussions. So I really wanted to explore this a few courageous and amazing individuals, who I knew would be up for it! In this episode you'll hear from four amazing people working in quite different sectors - from existential risk, climate resilience to cognitive science to leadership and communications to teacher training and education.

// Résumé de l'épisode : Un épisode touchant où Khadija raconte comment la confiance en Allah lui a donné la force d'un choix difficile et ouvert des chemins qu'elle n'imaginait pas.
Comment réintégrer, dans une Syrie toujours minée par les conflits, les familles soupçonnées d'accointances avec Daech, et recluses dans le camp d'Al-Hol depuis la défaite l'organisation terroriste, en 2019 ? Malgré les efforts des autorités kurdes pour vider le camp d'ici à la fin de l'année, il reste surpeuplé. Plus de 30 000 personnes, dont une majorité de Syriens, y vivent toujours. Si la transition politique en cours devait faciliter leur retour, seuls trois convois de Syriens ont quitté le camp depuis janvier. Parmi elles, plusieurs femmes qui ont pu bénéficier d'un des convois et quitté le camp en avril 2025. De notre envoyé spécial à Deir Ezzor, Dans une région désertique et marginalisée, toujours marquée par l'influence de Daech, Khadija, la vingtaine, écarte le drap qui lui sert de porte. À l'intérieur, le sol est humide, trois matelas, quelques ustensiles de cuisine accrochés au mur. Elle s'excuse presque d'accueillir ainsi : « Ce n'est pas une maison, c'est une étable pour les animaux. Regarde, l'hiver, il pleut ici. Mais nous n'avons pas le choix, il faut rester là. Pourtant, c'est pire que dans le camp. » Deux garçons se tiennent aux manches élimées de son niqab. Pour les protéger, elle s'était inscrite, pleine d'espoir, sur les listes de sortie du camp d'Al Hol, prison à ciel ouvert rongée par les épidémies et la faim. Veuve d'un combattant pakistanais de Daech, tué dans une frappe de la coalition, et rejetée par sa famille, Khadija n'est plus la bienvenue à Deir Ezzor : « Personne ne nous accepte ici, lorsque l'on marche dans la rue, les gens nous pointent du doigt, ils nous appellent les kidnappeurs de Daech. Nous sommes perçues comme des terroristes qui ont massacré et détruit, mais ça fait longtemps maintenant, il faudrait pouvoir tourner la page. » Difficile d'oublier dans la région de Deir Ezzor, largement détruite par la guerre et toujours marquée par des attaques régulières de cellules de l'État islamique. Une situation désespérée, qui alimente les regrets. Dans un soupir Khadija confesse qu'au moins, dans le camp, elle était parmi les siens : « Nous souhaiterions retourner dans le camp, là-bas, nous avions une tente et personne pour nous en chasser ou nous demander un loyer, nous recevions de l'eau, du pain, des aides, ici, je dois mendier pour un sac de pain, il n'y a pas de travail. On nous a dit que les ONG nous aideraient, mais elles ne font rien. » À lire aussiSyrie: les mines menacent le retour des déplacés à Deir Ezzor « Un jour, peut-être que nous pourrons vivre une vie normale » À quelques dizaines de kilomètres de là, dans le village de Maardin, un carrefour poussiéreux au bord de l'Euphrate, un centre social tente de soutenir ces femmes. Nous y rencontrons Nour, elle aussi revenue d'Al-Hol avec ses cinq enfants : « Un jour, peut-être que nous pourrons vivre une vie normale. Vous savez, mon fils ne savait même pas ce qu'était un arbre avant de quitter le camp. Alors pour le moment, le plus important, c'est de fournir une éducation à nos enfants. Ensuite, il faut trouver un travail, parce que nous sommes veuves, et nous ne pouvons pas subvenir aux besoins des petits, qui ont trop souffert. » Pour l'heure, si les enfants sont désormais scolarisés, les résultats du centre en matière d'insertion restent mitigés. Malgré les formations pour apprendre à ouvrir un petit commerce, aucune des quinze femmes présentes ce matin n'a encore réussi à lancer son activité. Coordinateur du projet, Mohammed reste confiant : « Le centre aide déjà beaucoup à la réintégration, cela prend simplement du temps. Au début, il peut être un peu difficile pour la communauté de s'habituer de nouveau à ces familles. Mais finalement, elles sont d'ici, ce ne sont pas des étrangers. La période de Daech a été difficile pour tout le monde, mais les mentalités changent. » Si les mentalités changent, ces femmes que nous avons rencontrées ne comprennent pas toujours l'opprobre à laquelle elles sont désormais confrontées.

En el Comando Norte hablamos con la periodista afgana Khadija Amin, que presentaba el informativo matinal en la televisión afgana en agosto de 2021, cuando los talibanes entraron en Kabul y en 24 horas se hicieron con el poder. La salida de los civiles fue caótica y, en el caso de Khadija, sobre todo rápida. Una decisión que tuvo que tomar en segundos, porque su vida corría en grave peligro ("yo no hubiera sobrevivido") pero en la que no deja de pensar, porque en Afganistán han quedado sus tres hijos, sobre los que su exmarido, en complicidad con el régimen afgano, le niega cualquier derecho. Para hacerle daño, el ex marido de Khadija ha conseguido declararla oficialmente muerta. A ella, que es una mujer cuya cara conoce todo Afganistán. Mañana, en el Festival de Sevilla, se presenta el documental con el que Khadija quiere transmitirle a sus hijos que nunca dejará de luchar por recuperarlos: "¿Dónde están mis hijos?" que podrá verse en Movistar Plus.
On l'a appris mardi soir, le Maroc décrète que le 31 octobre sera une nouvelle fête nationale. En effet, vendredi 31 octobre dernier, à New York, le Conseil de sécurité de l'ONU a voté une résolution qui prend position pour le plan d'autonomie du Sahara occidental présenté par le Maroc. Pourquoi l'Algérie n'a-t-elle pas pris part au vote ? Quelles sont les options politiques et militaires qui restent pour le Front Polisario ? La politologue Khadija Mohsen-Finan, spécialiste du Maghreb et membre du comité de rédaction de la revue Orient XXI, répond aux questions de Christophe Boisbouvier. RFI : Khadija Mohsen-Finan, qu'est-ce qui change avec le vote de vendredi dernier au Conseil de sécurité ? En réalité, ça change beaucoup de choses, parce que c'est ce qu'attendaient les Marocains, c'est-à-dire la reconnaissance par la communauté internationale de ce que Hassan II appelait leur titre de propriété sur le Sahara. Et au moment où plusieurs États, comme les États-Unis, comme la France, comme la Grande-Bretagne, s'apprêtent à investir dans ce territoire, il fallait absolument dépasser, si vous voulez, le fait qu'on était dans un schéma colonial, puisque ce territoire était à décoloniser. Donc, il fallait sortir de ce schéma de colonisateurs et colonisés. Et c'est ce qui a été fait par le vote de vendredi dernier au Conseil de sécurité des Nations unies. Alors, on savait à l'avance que les Américains, les Anglais et les Français allaient voter pour ce plan d'autonomie proposé par le Maroc, mais on ne savait pas ce qu'allaient faire les Russes et les Chinois. Et c'est peut-être ça la nouveauté, non ? Alors les Russes et les Chinois, disons que le ministre marocain des Affaires étrangères Nasser Bourita s'est rendu à Moscou et les Marocains ont eu l'assurance que les Russes pouvaient tout à fait ne pas leur tenir rigueur de la situation. Et très probablement, la dernière mouture du texte de la résolution a été faite pour que les Russes et les Chinois puissent justement s'abstenir et ne pas voter contre, en y ajoutant le terme de « autodétermination ». Ça, c'est très précieux pour les Russes, c'est très précieux pour les Chinois. Mais j'ajouterai que, depuis quelques années, les Russes entretiennent de très bonnes relations avec le Maroc. On n'est plus du tout dans le schéma de la guerre froide. Et c'est donc la première fois que Moscou et Pékin ne disent pas non à un texte qui « estime qu'une véritable autonomie sous souveraineté marocaine pourrait représenter la solution la plus réalisable » au Sahara occidental ? Absolument. Alors maintenant, on peut s'attendre justement à ce que Russes et Chinois soient attentifs au type d'autonomie qui va être mise en place par le Maroc dans cette région. À lire aussiSahara occidental: le Conseil de sécurité de l'ONU apporte son soutien au plan marocain Pourquoi l'Algérie, qui est membre cette année du Conseil de sécurité, a refusé de prendre part au vote de vendredi ? Alors ça reste quand même très surprenant. Très probablement parce que l'Algérie veut revenir sur la scène régionale et internationale, qu'elle compte beaucoup sur un partenariat économique et stratégique avec Washington, avec les États-Unis et que finalement, elle a peut-être accepté d'être dans ce que certains pourraient appeler la realpolitik. Mais c'est malgré tout une manière de tourner le dos au Front Polisario, à l'autodétermination qu'elle a portée quand même depuis 50 ans. Peut-on parler d'un début de lâchage du Polisario par l'Algérie ? Très probablement parce que, si vous voulez, s'il y a une sortie honorable par ce texte de résolution, personne ne sait ce que vont devenir aujourd'hui les Sahraouis de Tindouf, ce que va devenir la cause sahraouie. Personne n'en parle et je ne pense pas du tout qu'ils vont continuer à être parrainés à être protégés par Alger. Et c'est bien leur inquiétude d'ailleurs. Et dans les dernières déclarations du Front Polisario, on peut entrevoir malgré tout un désespoir. Le ministre des Affaires étrangères du Front Polisario affirme que son mouvement n'acceptera le plan marocain que si la population sahraouie le valide par référendum. Oui, c'est ce qu'il avait dit. Mais si vous voulez, on ne peut pas donner de traduction réelle à ses propos, puisque le Front Polisario seul ne peut pas affronter le Maroc. Et de toutes les manières, il devait attendre l'autorisation d'Alger pour agir sur le plan militaire. Aujourd'hui, vous dites que la balle est dans le camp du Maroc qui doit préciser, qui doit détailler son plan d'autonomie, c'est ça qu'il doit faire ? Peut-être des concessions politiques aussi ? C'est ce que lui impose l'application d'une autonomie réelle. Aujourd'hui, l'autonomie réelle, si on voulait l'appliquer au Maroc, le schéma politique marocain ne le permettrait pas. Il faut qu'il y ait un schéma de décentralisation et de démocratisation de ce pays pour que l'autonomie puisse s'instaurer. Mais ce sont beaucoup de questions. On ne sait pas ce qui va se passer au niveau national marocain et au niveau régional, pour qu'il y ait véritablement une autonomie et que les Sahraouis puissent trouver leur place.

In this NBN episode, host Hollay Ghadery speaks with Aamir Hussain about his debut novel, Under the Full and Crescent Moon (Dundurn, 2025). In a battle of words and beliefs, a young woman must defend her city against zealotry during the Islamic Golden Age.After his long-time scribe retires, Khadija's father, the city's leading jurist, offers his introverted daughter the opportunity to take on the role of his assistant. In accepting, Khadija is thrust into her community, the medieval hilltop city of Medina'tul-Agham, where she, as a motherless young woman, has spent little time. Led by Imam Fatima and guided by the Circle of Mothers, it is a matriarchy — the only one in the empire. Though forced to set aside her quiet life among the books and parchments of her family home, Khadija thrives, finding her power and place in the world with the support of her new friends and strong female mentors.Yet Khadija's idyllic new life is shattered when fanatical forces weaponize Sharia law to threaten the very fabric of the society. Using only the power of her parchment and quill, Khadija must win the support of the people and write fatwas to fight against injustice, or the peace and prosperity of her city will be nothing more than a footnote in the annals of history. About Aamir Hussain: Aamir Hussain was born into a family of strong women in Pakistan, grew up in Saudi Arabia, and moved to Canada when he was fifteen years old. He works in the tech sector in Toronto. Under the Full and Crescent Moon is his debut novel. He lives in Milton, Ontario. Learn more about your ad choices.

Send us a text! We'd love to hear your thoughts on the show.Welcome back to another episode of The Resilient Writers Radio Show!This week, I'm thrilled to introduce you to Aamir Hussain, whose debut novel Under the Full and Crescent Moon is officially out in the world. This is no ordinary debut. It's a speculative historical novel that asks a bold and fascinating question: Could there be a Muslim matriarchy—and what would that world look like?The story follows Khadija, a young woman growing up in the imagined city of Madid al-Agham, where faith, politics, and the law intertwine. Over the course of 11 transformative months, Khadija becomes a mufti—a scholar and writer of fatwas. She's pulled into debates, courtroom-style conflicts, and life-changing choices, all while negotiating family ties, mentorship, and an intellectual rival who challenges her beliefs and authority.Aamir shares with us how this novel took root. Raised in Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, and later the Greater Toronto Area, he experienced different expressions of Islam firsthand. After 9/11, he saw the faith misrepresented online—flattened into stereotypes. That disconnect led him to years of research into Islamic history and law, and eventually into the story that became Under the Full and Crescent Moon.We talk about: ✨ The long road to this debut—from early prologue drafts in 2015 to a finished manuscript in 2022. ✨ Writing on Toronto's TTC and GO Train during his daily commute. ✨ Balancing heavy research with a compelling narrative (and how his editor, Julia Kim, helped cut 40,000 words!). ✨ The challenge of writing a female protagonist with honesty and respect—and how early readers gave him confidence in Khadija's voice. ✨ What it means to show, not tell, when weaving faith, politics, and history into fiction.What struck me most in this conversation is Aamir's hope for readers. For Muslim readers, he hopes Khadija's world reflects the richness and diversity within their own communities. For non-Muslim readers, he hopes the book challenges stereotypes and sparks curiosity about the depth of Islamic history and interpretation. More than anything, he wants readers to see that communities, like individuals, are varied, nuanced, and deeply human.On publication day, Aamir admits to feeling a little overwhelmed—but grateful. He didn't originally set out to be a writer, but the story insisted on being written. Now, he's embracing the identity of “novelist” and looking ahead with humility. Will there be another book? Inshallah—God willing.If you love novels that mix immersive worldbuilding with thought-provoking questions, you're going to love this conversation—and you're going to love Khadija.Grab your copy of Under the Full and Crescent Moon and join us for a behind-the-scenes look at how it came to be.
Black people can be disabled: breaking the cycle of disability stereotypes - Khadija Gbla by Carey Scheer From surviving a civil war in Sierra Leone to classrooms in Australia, Khadija carried chaos in her body long after the bombs stopped. Her autism was dismissed as a cultural difference by white Australians, scorned as “not Black enough” within her community, and punished by chronic pain no one believed. For years, the world told her she was broken — until her diagnosis gave her the power to name who she had always been. Now, as she raises her autistic son, she also heals her younger self — creating a better world for them both, and for others yet to come. Perhaps, the real danger was never their difference, but a world that refused to see it. Produced by: Carey Scheer Featuring: Khadija Gbla For more stories like Khadija’s, check out the Purple Orange podcast. Untitled by Keras Marszalek “ Growing up, gay and Muslim felt like oil and water, two parts of himself that were never meant to mix, but he carried both at school, at home, and in prayer.” This story follows Kaan’s journey navigating the clash between his Turkish Muslim upbringing and his identity as a gay man. From hiding behind humour and secrecy to finding the courage to come out, his story reveals both the weight of religious guilt and the relief of honesty. “Faith told him who he was supposed to be. His heart told him who he already was.” Perhaps, faith guided Kaan in his prayers, but truth set him free. Produced by: Keras Marszalek Special thanks to Janak Rogers.

In this episode, we speak with Khadijah Haynes about her recent piece, "A Fetus on the Dirt Road” which offers a sharp critique of Western feminism's complicity in imperialism and its historical roots in racial violence. Haynes argues that Western feminism often obscures the struggles of both Black women and men, relying on colonial and anti-Black logics that fail to address the broader context of sexualized, gendered, and racialized abuses of all Black African people. We discuss other historical and contemporary critiques of feminism, argue that feminism does not have a monopoly over women's liberation struggle, and try to offer some clarity on what this might mean for Black feminisms and other forms of feminisms that are trying to encompass a progressive or transformative philosophy. She emphasizes the need for a more inclusive and revolutionary framework that integrates the liberation of all oppressed peoples, critiquing both Western Marxism and feminism for their limitations. We also discuss quite explicitly the sexual violences faced by Palestinian and Black men, challenging the dominant narratives that obscure these experiences—and how the dogmatism and essentialism of Western feminism has more often than not played a role in obscuring these experiences. Khadija is a tenant organizer in Brooklyn, writer, poet, and emcee. As a Marxist-Leninist, her works centers the revolutionary struggle of oppressed people both in the underbelly of the imperial core and globally.
