In recent years, Muslim individuals, businesses, and nonprofits have reported facing potentially discriminatory practices at some of the nation's largest banks. As part of our American Muslim Poll 2022, we published an analysis on the experiences of Banking While Muslim. In this episode of Deep Dives with ISPU, ISPU Executive Director Meira Neggaz interviews Banking While Muslim author Dr. Youssef Chouhoud and Chris Blauvelt, CEO and founder of LaunchGood, to discuss these experiences and findings.Youssef Chouhoud is an Assistant Professor of Political Science at Christopher Newport University, where he is affiliated with the Reiff Center for Human Rights and Conflict Resolution.

Crowdfunding, also referred to as crowdsourcing, is an ingenious method of sourcing funding for all types of projects and causes by facilitating direct relationships between campaigns and a global audience via the internet, and over the last decade or so has become a key method of making possible programs and initiatives that otherwise would have been impossible to undertake to fruition. Chris Blauvelt was inspired with the idea of creating a crowdfunding platform primarily designed and intended to support Islamic projects and communities early on when crowdsourcing first became a thing. Guided by both faith and persistence, he was able to successfully launch Launchgood, which to date has funded nearly a billion dollars worth of causes and projects. In this episode of Soul of Islam Radio, I sit down and discuss with Chris, also known by his Muslim name as Abdul-Rahman, about the remarkable success of Launchgood as we near its ten year anniversary. We discuss topics of spiritual excellence and identity, principles of success and entrepreneurship, the importance of giving and generosity, the great variety of campaigns that can utilize crowdfunding, the unique role of Launchgood in supporting Islamic and faith-based campaigns, and much more. As we near the holy and blessed month of Ramadan, which is often a time of unity, solidarity, generosity and giving, I pray you enjoy, benefit and are inspired to take action either by supporting a worthy cause, or by initiating one. To your divine and eternal success.

In this episode, I discuss with Shaykh Khaled Abou El Fadl about his current activities and how we can re-engage Islam in our time.   Dr. Khaled Abou El Fadl is one of the world's leading authorities on Shari'ah, Islamic law and Islam, and a prominent scholar in the field of human rights. He is the Omar and Azmeralda Alfi Distinguished Professor of Law at the UCLA School of Law where he teaches International Human Rights; Islamic Jurisprudence; Political Asylum and Refugee Law; The Trafficking of Human Beings: Law and Policy; Political Crimes and Legal Systems; and Muslims, Race and Law. He was also formerly the Chair of the Islamic Studies Interdepartmental Program at UCLA. He is the founder of the Institute of Advanced Usuli Studies ("The Usuli Institute"), a non-profit educational institute dedicated to ethics, beauty and critical thinking in the Islamic intellectual tradition.   If you wish to support the Shaykh's work: www.LaunchGood.com/projectilluminesirah   I.G. @TheGambian   Twitter: @MomodouTaal  

In this episode we speak about a highly anticipated topic, marriage. Marriage is such a huge deal to us as Muslims because it is a beautiful bond that Allah subhana wa'taala praises in the Quran. Allah says “And We created you in pairs” means We have created you, males and females, from one type, so that each of them may find comfort in the other, so that there may be affection and compassion, which will result in offspring. (51:49). We also talk about making relationships halal and why haram relationships are built to fail. We address the issues posed in our society today of cultural bias thrown onto our youth in terms of marriage when it comes to things like when to get married, the right amount of mehr, and how our parents and mahrams play a role in these decisions and parts of our lives.

Santa Muerte (or “Saint Death”) is far more than a popular saint, she's a framework for understanding Mexican history, Mexican politics (in particular the legacies of corruption, and the marginalization of women, the poor, the incarcerated, and those living on the fringes of “legitimate” society), and finally Santa Muerte is an entry point for examining the ongoing power and influence of Catholicism in Mexico, and its relationship to the Mexican state and to indigenous communities. We speak with Luisa Grijalva, PhD, professor of Political Philosophy in the Department of International Relations at the Universidad Popular Autónoma del Estado de Puebla, México.

Chris Blauvelt is the CEO of LaunchGood which is a crowdfunding company based out of Detroit MI. For those that don't know, crowdfunding is a way for people to fund their ideas through the power of an online crowd, also known as ‘backers'. As an Entrepreneur,  Chris saw the power of crowdfunding to help entrepreneurs like himself so he created LaunchGood: a global muslim platform built to leverage the power of crowdfunding to support great ideas. In this episode, we dive deep into how LaunchGood broke into the already saturated space of crowdfunding,  why a company might pivot from their original vision, how to attract talented people on a shoestring budget, and much more. Key Lessons:The founder nuance - stubborn to external forces, willing to pivot for customersBe relentlessly resourceful - get what you want with what you've gotLaunchgood website: https://www.launchgood.com/

“I didn't wake up and decide it's time to build a crowdfunding platform for a global community of 1.8 million Muslims. I didn't even think about being an entrepreneur.” This week I sit down with Amany Killawi, who has had such a unique and inspiring journey to where she is now, an honoree by INK Magazine's top female founder. Amany is the co-founder and COO of LaunchGood: a global crowdfunding platform for campaigns, projects and creative ideas. She is a social worker turned social entrepreneur who through LaunchGood has raised over 15 million for 1,500+ projects, impacting 70+ countries. One thing I loved about this episode was the comparison of a fixed mindset versus a growth mindset. Amany is a true, acting growth mindset leader who has allowed space of transition and evolution in her career. This episode is particularly inspirational for anyone interested in a transition be it for an organizational change, or positional change, I encourage you to listen, learn, and take the change. Thank you Amany! https://youtu.be/ZZZwigJKA-8

When Amany Killawi studied social work, she had an image for her future in macro impact. Her life took an unexpected turn when she met her co-founders and started what would be come the largest Muslim crowdfunding platform on the platform. The company bootstrapped the company to where they are today, with $250 million raised, and Amany serves as the COO for 100 people working towards the vision of $1 billion raised on their platform. Listen to Amany's journey as a the founder of a growth stage company, from the ups of serving the community to the downs of surviving without a salary.

Depending on where one stands, Adnan Syed is either guilty of murder or a victim of a justice system that has wrongly convicted and imprisoned him now for over half his life. Adnan was arrested at aged 17, denied bail, and was convicted of his ex-girlfriend's murder, Hae Min Lee, in 2000. In a new HBO docuseries, Adnan said that it was an ‘unstoppable force of sadness’ after Hae was murdered, and then he was arrested that February and charged. ‘It’s almost like there’s a flood outside your house, before you even come to terms with that, now there’s a fire inside your house,’ Adnan explains. How the jury managed to surpass “reasonable doubt” in this case is beyond belief. There are at least three viable suspects that could have murdered Hae—THREE! As you listen to Adnan’s case, see if you can rule any of them out. Also, view photos/images from crime scenes and police evidence relevant to this episode at WrongfulConvictionsNews.com. There are three ways to support Adnan: You can contribute any amount, once or as often as you’d like at Launchgood.com/FreeAdnan. You can become a monthly supporter for as little a dollar a month at patreon.com/freeadnan, where you’ll find bonus content related to the case. And you can purchase newly designed, and beautifully made Free Adnan merchandise at onemission.fund/support/freeadnan. If you didn’t catch those, don’t worry, we’ll put them in the show notes and post them on our social media as well. We need your support now more than ever, thank you for it.

Blackstone’s principle is a cornerstone of criminal law. That’s why we presume people to be innocent until proven guilty. John Adams expanded on that principle and predicted the state we are in now: It is more important that innocence should be protected, than it is, that guilt be punished; for guilt and crimes are so frequent in this world, that all of them cannot be punished…. when innocence itself, is brought to the bar and condemned, especially to die, the subject will exclaim, ‘it is immaterial to me whether I behave well or ill, for virtue itself is no security.’ And if such a sentiment as this were to take hold in the mind of the subject that would be the end of all security whatsoever It’s a tragedy that so much of our American justice system seems determined to thwart that principle these days. We are so intent on throwing people into jail that guilt or innocence doesn’t much matter.

Muslim’s that engage on social media often contribute to the online antagonism that reflects the coarse and crude trend of wider society. It goes like this, someone tweets a view, sometimes coherent and thought through and sometimes not and within a short space of time, it solicits a torrent of abuse. This week on The Thinking Muslim we look at ‘Muslim Twitter’, what causes the bitterness? how do we tone down the rhetoric and how can the revelation and our illustrious scholarly past help us to rectify our manners of engagement? We have invited Justin Parrot to discuss this matter, Justin holds an MRes in Islamic Studies from the University of Wales and is currently Research Librarian for Middle East Studies at NYU in Abu Dhabi where he is also a volunteer Imam for the Muslim Students Association. He also runs an amazing website with a unique accessible hadith repository, available here https://abuaminaelias.com.

American Muslims have long participated in the struggle against mass incarceration, and this Ramadan, we speak to three people who can help us make sense of where things stand now.

Then, Justin Mashouf, the filmmaker who captured Sadiq’s story in the documentary “The Honest Struggle,” talks to us about prison reform and telling Sadiq's story with mercy and compassion. Finally, we talk to Dr. Suad Abdul-Khabeer about Believer’s Bailout, a community-led effort to bail out Muslims in pretrial incarceration and ICE custody as a form of zakat.   Donate to the Patreon to help support the show: https://www.patreon.com/ahmedaliakbar.

LaunchGood has become the biggest Muslim-specific crowdfunding platform across the globe. Whilst many comfortably use the platform, they are unaware of the story behind its inception. Co-Founder Omar Hamid's journey started in late high school, as he kicked off his design career by starting his own agency - that’s right - during high school. The design agency turned out to be a stunning success, and all was well and good, until Omar got his most engaging project yet - the LaunchGood website. He would soon realise that this project drew him in like none other before and lit a passion deep inside. Eventually, Omar went all in as a Co-Founder and began his journey to develop the Muslim World's largest crowd funding platform   Visit toledosociety.com for more info
