Podcasts about Ramadan

It's Friday, August 28th, A.D. 2026. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 140 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com.  I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Adam McManus Nigerian Christian farmers are being targeted by Fulani Muslims For many Christian farmers in the Plateau State of Nigeria, traveling to their own farms has become dangerous, reports International Christian Concern. Some have stopped going altogether. Others now move in groups, hoping that numbers will offer some protection. But for families who depend on agriculture for survival, abandoning their land is not an easy choice.  The fear has grown following a series of attacks by armed men suspected to be Fulani Muslim militias which have targeted farmers traveling to and from their fields.  On July 30, according to Christian leader Joseph Yonkpa, 60-year-old Christian farmer Bulus Turu was “attacked and macheted while returning from his farm.”  At least 27 people have been killed in ambushes, many of whom were Christian farmers traveling to their farms.  Yohana Boh, a community leader, said, “We received early warning, but the Nigerian Army ignored it. We can't sleep. We can't farm. We're calling for help.” Send a polite, 4-sentence note to Lateef Kayode, the Nigerian Ambassador to America, asking him to urge his government to protect the Christian farmers there. Address your letter to the Nigerian Embassy, 3519 International Court, NW, Washington, DC 20008. You can find that address, and the spelling of the Nigerian Ambassador's name, in our transcript today at www.TheWorldview.com. Flash flood in Nepal killed 360 The deadly flash flood in Nepal on August 26th has killed 360 people and left 1,400 missing including 90 Americans, reports Weather.com. The flood was likely caused by a huge chunk of a glacier that broke off and temporarily dammed a river.  That may have led to the backed-up water surging downstream with enormous force a few hours later. In fact, water levels in rivers across the flood-affected region rose by as much as 29.5 feet in 30 minutes. The U.S. State Department said it is not aware of any U.S. deaths, but three Americans have been rescued. Hundreds have lost their homes across the Himalayan region, and officials reported large-scale damage to critical infrastructure, including hydropower dams, roads, buildings and bridges in the region. US Patriot missile stocks in Europe are ‘beyond critical' due to Iran war An unnamed U.S. defense official in Europe and an unnamed NATO official told the Associated Press that the U.S. military is experiencing a “beyond critical” shortage of advanced missile interceptors in Europe largely driven by President Donald Trump's war with Iran. This raises concerns about vulnerabilities in NATO countries to a potential Russian attack. The U.S. defense official said the most concerning shortfall involves Patriot missile interceptors, which can shoot down Russia's high-speed ballistic missiles. The NATO official confirmed the low inventories of Patriots among American and NATO forces in Europe. President Trump renames Lake Ontario to Lake America On August 27th, President Donald Trump said he is renaming Lake Ontario to be known as “Lake America” in the United States as he escalates his trade war with Canada, reports the Associated Press. The president signed an executive order directing the Interior Department to update the lake's name in the U.S. geographic naming service. Girl Scouts promotes Islam The Girl Scouts organization in America already has plunged neck-deep into transgenderism and abortion, with ideologies that support such leftist agendas. Now, the group is jumping into Islam, reports WorldNetDaily.com. An online report confirmed the Girls Scouts are offering "badges" that are earned by little girls when they visit mosques and learn the "Pillars of Islam." Not surprisingly, social media commenters were outraged. Turning Point USA, founded by Charlie Kirk, tweeted, “Nothing says Girl Scouts of AMERICA like learning the pillars of Islam.” And another wrote, “Never buy Girl Scout cookies again.” According to a new investigation by Natalie Winters, the White House correspondent for Steve Bannon's War Room, she documented that, "Girl Scout troops across the U.S. are incorporating Islamic religious instruction, prayer and activities, [like wearing the hijab head covering and participating in the Ramadan fast] into scouting programs.” Winters reported, "Girl Scouts Heart of Central California knew about the Sacramento Area League of Associated Muslims' religious integration years earlier. The council's 2009 annual report said that four troops with 30 girls began …  [incorporating] Girl Scouting into the mosque's youth programming. It highlighted a Ramadan sleepover involving fasting and girls 'praying through the night.'" The examples appear to involve individual troops and local councils rather than a nationwide requirement imposed on all Girl Scouts. However, there is a "nationwide pattern of Girl Scout troops based at mosques incorporating Islamic prayer, Quranic instruction, and lessons on hijab into activities conducted under the Girl Scouts banner." In Exodus 20:3, God said, “You shall have no other gods before Me.” And, to be sure, Allah, the Islamic god, is not the one true God. Mom banned from school after protesting push of sexual perversion And finally, an Oregon mother is suing Portland Public Schools for banning her from her children's elementary school for protesting its promotion of homosexual transgender “pride,” reports LifeSiteNews.com. The Oregonian reports that Allison Roberts, who has two children at Meriwether Lewis Elementary School, took issue with benches painted with “Intersex-Inclusive Progress Pride” rainbow designs. She also objected to an assignment in which one of her kids was tasked with filling out an “identity flower” exercise including gender. After a meeting with school officials to discuss her concerns, she began distributing letters about the situation outside the school, leading to a “heated exchange” with one parent. That led to a one-year trespass order keeping her off the grounds ostensibly for “threatening and intimidating members of the school community” with “harmful, unlawful and/or disruptive behavior.” As a result, Roberts was forced to miss one of her children's graduations from elementary school. Now, she is suing to reverse the trespass order and secure her rights to engage in free speech about her children's education.  Mrs. Roberts should prayerfully consider pulling her children out of the pro-perversion government schools and homeschool them instead. Proverbs 22:6 says, “Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it."

When the U.S. wages war in the Middle East that American Christians support, do we remember that some of the people beneath those bombs are fellow Christians? And even when they are not Christians, how can we forget that Jesus calls us to love our neighbor and enemy alike? Mennonite pastor, writer, screenwriter, and activist Nathan Perrin joins Craig for a conversation about the people Western headlines often leave out. Nathan has spent nearly a decade working alongside Assyrians, Kurds, Palestinians, and other Middle Eastern communities through local organizing and visits to northern Iraq. He recounts visiting an Assyrian church that had been rebuilt again and again after attempts to destroy it. A cross in its courtyard covered in bullet holes. Yet when new bombardments began, Christian and Muslim neighbors exchanged keys to their homes so each family would have a place of safety. That act of neighbor-love stands in sharp contrast to the fear often preached in American churches. Craig and Nathan explore why the word evangelical carries painful baggage in parts of the Middle East. Ancient Christian communities have sometimes been treated as mission targets, while humanitarian aid has been tied to conversion. Nathan challenges us to consider whether people abroad encounter Jesus through Western Christianity, or the pressure of empire. The conversation also covers: Christian communities in Iran, Iraq, Lebanon, and Palestine How US military action creates blowback against local Christians and Muslims Dispensationalism and unquestioning Christian support for the State of Israel The difference between loving Jewish neighbors and defending a government Craig's Ramadan meal with a Muslim neighbor Assyrians, Yazidis, Mandaeans, and other overlooked communities Christian nationalism, political personality cults, and closed media silos Books, sermons, documentaries, and films for deeper learning Nathan reminds listeners that ordinary Muslims he has met often describe Christians in simple terms: “Christians are our neighbors.” What would change if the Western church began there?

Surah Al-'Ankabut (The Spider) is the 29th chapter of the Qur'an. It emphasizes that faith is tested through trials and encourages believers to remain patient and steadfast. The surah uses the example of the spider's fragile web to illustrate the weakness of relying on anything other than Allah, while highlighting the strength and security found in sincere faith and trust in Him. This video series is a curated collection of reflections and summaries drawn from the 30 Days with the Qur'an series, where each Juz was explored over the month of Ramadan. While not a full tafsir, these concise and heartfelt talks aim to highlight key themes and insights from each Surah to inspire a deeper connection with the Qur'an. In this series, we've taken those reflections and focused them surah by surah, offering a dedicated video for each chapter of the Qur'an. The goal is to spark curiosity, build motivation, and encourage further study of the Qur'an in a manageable, engaging format. Whether you're revisiting familiar Surahs or exploring new ones, these summaries are here to help you pause, reflect, and fall in love with the Qur'an all over again.

Michael Germi is a former Muslim born in Iran into a Shia Muslim family. In this setting he learned to practice Islam praying 5 times a day toward Mecca. He fasted during Ramadan. He practiced self-mutilation for the cause of Allah. He migrated to Australia in 2006 and in 2009 placed his trust in Jesus Christ. He later moved to the States where he is a missionary with Baptist World Mission and now proclaims the Gospel to Islamic nations by satellite TV, satellite radio and internet radio. He has written several Farsi Christian books and desires to plant churches around the world where Persians are scattered. After 13 days of strikes, the United States has paused its military actions against Iran hoping for diplomacy to take place. The U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations, Mike Walz said yesterday that the President was "giving talks some space, he's giving a little bit of room." A senior official in the Trump administration said that the President "has always been clear that his preference is diplomacy, but he has shown Iran what will happen if they fail to come to the table in a serious way." Today Iran says it is still in control of the Strait of Hormuz and is not seeking to resume peace talks with the United States. As a matter of fact, a spokesperson for Iran's Foreign Ministry, Esmail Baghaei said Iran has not asked to resume peace talks with the United States. Last week wng.org reported that "Iran's Ministry of Intelligence recently classified several Persian-language Christian satellite TV broadcasters as hostile organizations."

Faridah Abdul-Tawwab Brown and Frank Abdul Shaheed introduce a 3rd episode to a new season of The Family Ties, framing the show as a prescription for healing the human family through a covenantal relationship with God, rooted in the African American experience of chattel slavery and the creation of culture from “essence” rather than inherited traditions. They discuss how obedience, spirituals, blues, and jazz expressed humanity and helped shape America, which they describe as the “final conversation” on human establishment and a call back to founding ideals. They contrast human capital guiding material production versus materialism controlling people, and address February 2026 global conflicts, highlighting Palestine/Jerusalem as a focal symbol of justice and sacred human life. They emphasize knowledge, revelation, leadership, charity (including Ramadan), and invite audience engagement via their website and social platforms.00:00 Welcome to Family Ties00:47 Covenant in Hardship03:41 America as Final Test05:33 Defining Family Culture07:17 Creating Culture from Nothing11:31 Essence of Liberation14:58 Music Blues and Jazz Roots16:52 Human Capital vs Materialism21:04 Palestine and Sacred Justice27:00 Knowledge Revelation Leadership29:09 Charity Ramadan and Good Life32:31 Closing and Stay Connected----------------------------------------------------This podcast is about family life as a means to address current problems in American society.

Surah Al-Qasas (Chapter 28 of the Qur'an) tells the story of Prophet Musa (Moses) and highlights themes of faith, justice, patience, and Allah's guidance. The surah begins with the oppression of the Israelites under Pharaoh and describes how Musa was miraculously protected as a baby and raised in Pharaoh's palace. It follows his journey from exile to prophethood, including his encounter with Allah at Mount Sinai and his mission to free his people. The surah also recounts the story of Qarun (Korah), a wealthy man who became arrogant because of his riches and was ultimately destroyed as a warning against pride and greed. Overall, Surah Al-Qasas emphasizes that power and success come from Allah alone, and that righteousness, humility, and trust in God lead to true success. This video series is a curated collection of reflections and summaries drawn from the 30 Days with the Qur'an series, where each Juz was explored over the month of Ramadan.

Once a month I teach a tafseer class at UWA, and tonight we finished Surah al-Fatihah. We started back in April, paused in May while I was at Hajj, and picked it up again this week.This is the most important surah in our lives. We recite it at least seventeen times a day — and there has to be a reason Allah asks that of us. The whole reason we sit with it is to see how seven short verses, recited so many times that they almost slip past us, are actually a map for how to live.We began by going back over the verses we'd already covered, because the later ones don't land without them.Grounded is a reader-supported publication. To receive new posts and support my work, consider becoming a free or paid subscriber.Bismillah — In the name of AllahThe first thing to notice is that Bismillah isn't a complete sentence. “In the name of Allah” — and then what? In Arabic this is a shibh jumla, a fragment. The sentence is left open on purpose, and you complete it with your action.That's why the Prophet ﷺ said that anything important begun without Bismillah is cut off from blessing. When you say it, you're invoking Allah's help before you've even started.From that one word, three things follow.First, it's a filter. When you put Allah's name on something, the wrong things become hard to do. I mentioned the Indonesian sheikh who was asked whether smoking is makruh or haram. He refused to give a fiqhi answer. He simply asked the man: can you say Bismillah before you smoke? The man said no, of course not, it wouldn't be appropriate. Then you already know the answer. Put a Bismillah in front of a thing, and you find out very quickly what it's worth.Second, it's a mindset. When you do something in the name of someone great, you raise your game. A footballer plays differently for his country than for his local club — the colours change how seriously he takes it. So when a Muslim acts in the name of Allah, he doesn't do things half-heartedly. The Prophet ﷺ told us Allah loves itqan — excellence, doing a thing to the best of your ability. You see it in the smallest acts, like taking wudu carefully without wasting water, and you see it across the whole of Muslim civilisation. Walk through the old mosques of Andalusia and look at the detail in the calligraphy, the care in every surface. That care begins at Bismillah. Allah is beautiful, and He loves beauty.Third, it's our source of barakah. Because we're invoking Allah's help, we stay humble when we succeed — we know it was His work through us, not our own greatness — and we stay calm when we fail, knowing there may be something better in it. We're not euphoric in success or crushed in failure. We did it Bismillah, and we leave the outcome to Him.Grounded is a reader-supported publication. To receive new posts and support my work, consider becoming a free or paid subscriber.Alhamdulillah — All praise is for AllahThen comes gratitude — and gratitude, it turns out, is the real engine of human happiness.There's a study I keep coming back to, out of UC Berkeley and UC Davis. They took people struggling with depression and split them into groups. One group received nothing. One received medication. One was given gratitude work — every day, write down the things you're thankful for. After a month, the group that did nothing got worse, the medicated group improved, and the gratitude group improved just as much as the medicated one.But the follow-up study found something sharper. Gratitude has pillars. To be grateful you need three things: the beneficiary (you, the one receiving), the benefit (the thing itself), and the benefactor (the one who gave it).When a friend buys you a kebab, all three are obvious — you know exactly who to thank. But who do you thank for good rain on a morning you love? For the parents you didn't choose? For children born healthy? You had no hand in any of it. The Bureau of Meteorology reports the weather; it doesn't send it.This is why, for those who removed God, the gratitude eventually collapses — the mind quietly asks, who am I actually thanking? It's no accident that the self-help shelves are filling with crystals and auras and the old paganism is creeping back. People are reaching for a power to thank and finding nothing there.We already have the answer. Alhamdulillah. And the fact that Allah even taught us who to thank is itself a thing to be grateful for — which is why it becomes an endless loop. Alhamdulillah for the Alhamdulillah.Rabb al-'alamin — Lord of all worldsSo who is this we're thanking? Allah is Rabb — and Rabb doesn't just mean Lord. It carries the meaning of nurturing. Not a creator who set the universe running by its own laws and stepped back, but One who creates, sustains, and nurtures every moment. And al-'alamin — everything that exists besides Him.Then immediately: ar-Rahman, ar-Rahim.Why mercy again, so soon after Bismillah? Because it isn't repetition. Imam al-Tabari disliked calling anything in the Qur'an repetition — we repeat ourselves only when we've run out of better things to say, and Allah never has. The mercy here is placed deliberately. The word Rabb — Lord, Master — can stir fear; this is a power that can do anything to us and we can do nothing back. So the instant that fear rises, Allah answers it with love. He is not a Lord laying traps so you'll trip and fall into the fire. Every law He sets is for our benefit, not His — if all eight billion of us turned away tomorrow, it would take nothing from His majesty, and only harm ourselves.This is the balance the scholars call khawf and raja', fear and hope. Lean only on hope and you grow careless; lean only on fear and you despair. Rabb al-'alamin and ar-Rahman ar-Rahim, side by side, hold you upright.Maliki yawm id-din — Master of the Day of JudgmentThis verse is read two ways — Malik (King) and Maalik (Owner) — and here is something worth understanding about our recensions. The different readings of the Qur'an don't contradict each other the way variant manuscripts elsewhere might. They complete each other.A king and an owner aren't the same. I own this iPad — I don't call myself its king. As owner I can use it, lend it, smash it, and no one can question me; I control every detail. But you don't own a country, you reign over it — a king sets the laws that govern the whole. The owner handles the detail, the king handles the big picture. Allah is both. On that Day He sets every rule — who speaks, who goes where, when it begins — and He holds every single soul down to the smallest detail.And notice the word din. Allah could have said yawm al-qiyamah. He chose din, which in Arabic is one vowel from dayn — debt. Religion and debt are bound together, because the reason we worship at all is a debt of gratitude we owe Him.The Prophet ﷺ embodied this. He prayed through the night until his feet swelled, and when Aisha asked why — when Allah had already forgiven him entirely — he answered: should I not be a grateful servant?That's the summit. People worship for different reasons. Some out of fear of the Fire — valid. Some to bargain, O Allah, I have an exam — also valid, also sincere. Al-Ghazali called these levels: the slave who obeys out of fear of beating, the merchant who trades. But the highest is the one who worships out of sheer gratitude, moved by love.An easy way to check where you sit — I use it on myself. Look at how you set your alarm for Fajr. If sunrise is 7:15 and I set it for 7:00, just enough to make the prayer before it's lost, I'm moving out of fear of missing it. The one moved by gratitude sets it for 5:00 — time for tahajjud, some Qur'an, then Fajr. Same prayer. Very different relationship.And this debt isn't only with Allah. The Day of Judgment is the day all debts are settled — including the ones we owe each other. The Prophet ﷺ told us of the true bankrupt: a man who arrives with a mountain of good deeds, sees his scale, thinks he's bound for Paradise — and then the people he wronged come forward. He cheated me. He hit me. He slandered me. His good deeds are handed out one by one until they run dry, and when they're gone, their sins are loaded onto him instead. He started rich and ended in ruin.So al-Fatihah reminds us, seventeen times a day, that everything we do is being counted. This is why the Qur'an says prayer restrains us from indecency — at Fajr you're reminded twice, at Dhuhr four times, before the day can pull you off course. Maliki yawm id-din. Settle your debts before they're settled for you.The turnUp to here, every verse has been about Allah — describing Him, praising Him from a kind of distance. Then the whole surah pivots.Iyyaka na'budu wa iyyaka nasta'in — You alone we worship, You alone we askIn Arabic you'd normally begin with the verb. Allah front-loads iyyaka — “You” — and that inversion is where the word only comes from. It isn't written in the verse; it's created by the word order. Only You we worship. Only You we ask. And He says it twice, to drive it home.Then look at na'budu. We translate it “worship,” and we shrink that to rituals — prayer, fasting, dhikr. But its root means slave. A slave has handed over his freedom; he doesn't get to say no, not this one. So this is far bigger than the window of prayer. Every part of life — how we work, how we rest, how we treat people, how we entertain ourselves — belongs to Allah.People hear “slave” and recoil. Translators reach for “servant” instead, and even that's going out of fashion. But enslaving yourself to Allah is the one freedom that's real — because we are never as free as we imagine.Ask a child almost anywhere in the world to recognise the golden arches and they can, often before they can read. They link it to happiness — the happy meal did its work. But be honest: is that the best burger you've ever had? Is that the best playground in your city? The parks in Perth are better. We didn't choose to want it; a marketing machine chose for us.Or take diamonds. You “need” one to propose — except diamonds are neither rare nor precious. They're abundant; the scarcity is manufactured. The entire idea was a De Beers campaign from the 1920s, and it reshaped what a whole civilisation believes love requires.Even right and wrong get sold to us. Things shift from forbidden to acceptable not because the science changed but because someone with deep pockets lobbied hard enough. A hundred years ago, women in Perth dressed almost like Muslim women — high collars, long sleeves, covered ankles. A century later they're barely clothed, and it's called freedom. Yet the bikini was designed by a man. How is that liberation?So iyyaka na'budu hands us a fixed point. Our right and wrong, our values, our whole standard comes from Allah alone — and that's exactly what makes us stable when everything else is being marketed at us. We reaffirm it seventeen times a day.And iyyaka nasta'in — only You we ask for help. Of course we ask people for help too. But a believer knows that if someone helps me, the help still came through Allah. When I drink to quench my thirst, it isn't the water doing it — it's Allah, using the water as His means. Even so, the Prophet ﷺ told us that whoever doesn't thank people hasn't truly thanked Allah. So this isn't an excuse to skip past gratitude to the person in front of you. Thanking them is part of thanking Him.Ihdina as-sirat al-mustaqim — Guide us the straight pathNow, finally, we ask for something. And of everything a person could ask the Lord of all worlds for — wealth, relief, rescue — the prayer lands on guidance.And there's no “to.” If Allah meant guide us toward the path, the Arabic would include ila. He leaves it out. Professor Quraish Shihab puts it well: if you ask me the way to the musalla, I can point — out the door, left, right, right again. That's directions, and goodbye. But ihdina sirat al-mustaqim, with no ila, is the other kind — come, let's go, I'll walk you there myself. So we're not asking Allah to show us the path from a distance. We're asking Him to walk it with us — every step, every decision, sometimes hour by hour.Then the word sirat itself. Arabic has several words for path — sabil, tariq — but sirat is a wide one. Its root means to swallow something whole; a sirat is broad enough to swallow crowds. This matters. The straight path isn't a narrow ledge for our group alone. It's vast. Whoever prays as we pray, faces our qiblah, eats our slaughter — the Prophet ﷺ called that person a Muslim. We can disagree sharply on creed and method and still not expel one another from the path.And within that one wide road there are subul — lanes. Allah says of those who strive, We will guide them to Our ways — plural. Some people reach Allah most easily through prayer; sunnah prayers come light to them. For others it's fasting beyond Ramadan, or teaching, or feeding the poor, or caring for orphans and single mothers. Different gifts, different lanes, same road.Which means I have no business looking down on anyone. I might memorise more Qur'an than the next person and assume I'm above him — when he may be carrying half his community on his back while I spend my time reciting. Allah handed out different talents on purpose. Use yours as your lane to Him, and leave the contempt behind.The path of those blessed — and the two who lost itAllah doesn't leave the path abstract. He names who's already on it: the path of those You have blessed. Elsewhere He tells us who they are — the prophets, the truthful, the martyrs, the righteous. So this road isn't some untrodden wilderness we have to hack through. People have walked it ahead of us. Find your heroes among them.We're built to follow heroes — it's why influencers now out-earn the executives of the platforms they post on. So Allah meets that instinct and points it somewhere worthy. We should know our prophets. We should know the siddiqin — Abu Bakr, the certified truthful. The martyrs — Umar and Uthman. The righteous companions, each one.If our children can name all eleven players on a football team but not the ten companions promised Paradise, something has gone wrong in the home. I'm not against knowing the players — some people can tell you the exact weight of the racquet Federer uses, custom-made, not the commercial one. Fine. But then let's also know the length and weight of our Prophet's sword. The more we know our heroes, the more we love them, and the more we want to become like them.Then the final turn: not the path of those who earned anger, nor of those who went astray. The classical scholars sometimes named specific groups, but I prefer the reading that looks at character — and it ties the whole surah together.Look back at the seven verses. The opening ones — Bismillah, Alhamdulillah, ar-Rahman ar-Rahim, Maliki yawm id-din — are verses of knowledge. They tell us things. The later ones — only You we worship, guide us — are verses of action. We do something with them.So the two who lose the path are:* The one who has knowledge and refuses to act on it — that's the one who earned anger. He knew and chose not to.* The one who acts without knowledge — that's the one astray. All effort, no guidance, lost despite his sincerity.There's a hadith — discussed by the scholars, used by al-Mundhiri to spur us — where the angels come first for those who knew the Qur'an and didn't live it, before the idol-worshippers, and when those people protest, the answer comes: are the one who knew and the one who didn't know the same? Disobedience out of knowledge is heavier than disobedience out of ignorance.The complete surah is both together: knowledge and action. You know, and you act on what you know.Seven verses. And the Prophet ﷺ told us this is a conversation — every time we recite it, Allah answers, line by line:When you say Alhamdulillahi rabbil 'alamin, Allah says: My servant has praised Me. When you say ar-Rahman ar-Rahim, He says: My servant has glorified Me. And when you say ihdina sirat al-mustaqim, He says: This is for My servant — and for him is what he asked.That's the conversation we have with our Lord at least seventeen times a day. Tonight we finally heard the whole of it.One more thingAt the end of tonight's class, I opened something I've been building for a while.It's called Grounded — a way to actually learn the Qur'an you recite, instead of reading a translation once and forgetting it. It follows the same shape as the class itself: you learn an ayah, you recall it, and then you ground it in a daily habit. One ayah a day. About fifteen minutes.We start, of course, with al-Fatihah — the same surah we've just finished.It's been in private beta with my own students at Qaswa, who've been on it for a while now — competitive enough that some of them stay up at night trying to climb the leaderboard, only to wake up and find they've been overtaken. Tonight I opened it to the UWA cohort as the next group in.If you're a paid subscriber to this Substack, you're next in line. I'll be sending invitations before long, and you'll be among the first outside these classes to join.Stay tuned. Next month, a new surah.Here's the fuller version. Every point gets room to build the way it did in the room, and the app section now places UWA correctly — Qaswa students were already on it, UWA is the second cohort. This is a public episode.

Le surnom des Capverdiens, les Requins bleus, inspire Wakat Sera au Burkina Faso. « Pour être des requins, ils en ont la voracité, mais sont loin de jouer le football comme des bleus ! » écrit Wakat Sera, qui souligne surtout « un excellent élan collectif de détermination et surtout de performance, qui a fait de ces représentants africains de véritables combattants, sans complexe dans l'arène du Mondial 2026 ».  Mais au sein de cette équipe de Requins bleus, un homme attire l'attention : le gardien Vozinha, 40 ans. Le Monde lui consacre un portrait. Celui qui est né en 1986 à Mindelo se nomme en fait Josimar José Évora Dias, Josimar, du nom d'une gloire du foot brésilien qui s'était particulièrement illustré l'année de sa naissance en marquant des buts restés dans les mémoires. Le Monde raconte que Vozinha n'a signé son premier contrat professionnel qu'à l'âge de 25 ans. Un parcours tardif et atypique pour celui dont la mère n'avait pas pu assister au premier match contre l'Espagne la semaine dernière : elle n'avait pas de visa. Mais cette nuit, elle était présente pour le voir briller contre l'Uruguay. Vozinha, une belle histoire de plus en plus suivie sur les réseaux sociaux. Le Monde rapporte qu'avant le match, son compte Instagram comptait 50 000 abonnés, il en compte désormais plus de 15 millions.  Rapprochement entre le Bénin et le Niger Toute autre chose, dans La Nouvelle Tribune : le rapprochement entre le Bénin et le Niger. Depuis plusieurs semaines, les deux pays multiplient les gestes amicaux. « Les nuages sombres qui stagnaient depuis plusieurs mois au-dessus du fleuve Niger commencent enfin à se dissiper », écrit La Nouvelle Tribune. Entre Cotonou et Niamey, le dégel diplomatique n'est plus une simple intention pieuse, mais une réalité qui se matérialise jour après jour. Le journaliste note que « tout processus de réconciliation solide repose sur l'empathie ». Pourquoi ce commentaire ? Parce que la semaine dernière, après la nouvelle attaque jihadiste contre l'aéroport de Niamey, « les autorités béninoises ont immédiatement réagi en exprimant leur profonde compassion et leur solidarité indéfectible envers le peuple nigérien ». Bien plus que du protocole, estime le journal, pour qui « la paix des braves n'est pas une capitulation d'un camp face à l'autre, mais le triomphe de la diplomatie, de la raison et des intérêts des peuples. Le chemin est encore jalonné de défis, mais la volonté politique, elle, semble désormais inébranlable ».  En Éthiopie, un nouveau succès électoral pour le Premier ministre Les instances électorales ont publié hier soir les résultats des élections législatives d'il y a trois semaines, et c'est une nette victoire pour le Parti de la prospérité du Premier ministre sortant Abiy Ahmed : il remporte 438 des 486 sièges attribués dans la nouvelle Assemblée, soit 90 % des sièges.  Le Monde lui consacre un portrait. Ce n'est pas le premier portrait d'Abiy Ahmed, prix Nobel de la paix 2019, l'homme est déjà bien connu, mais le journal rappelle comment il est passé « de réformateur adulé par la communauté internationale à chef de guerre ». C'est le titre de ce portrait signé par la correspondante du quotidien français à Addis-Abeba, Maëlle Duhamel. Elle y cite cet habitant de la capitale qui se souvient de l'arrivée au pouvoir d'Abiy Ahmed en 2018 : « Un Oromo à la tête du pays, c'était énorme. Et j'étais vraiment séduit par cet homme qui nous promettait une Éthiopie unie et du changement. L'étau se desserrait. Pour la première fois, on se sentait libre ».  La journaliste rappelle aussi l'Abiymania qui s'était alors emparée d'une communauté internationale ravie de se débarrasser d'un régime dominé par le Front de libération du peuple du Tigré et ses valeurs marxistes. S'ensuivra, en 2022 au Tigré, ce qui sera qualifié de nettoyage ethnique par Human Rights Watch, et des soutiens internationaux qui s'effritent. Mais ces derniers mois, ces soutiens reviennent, une réhabilitation à mettre sur le compte, estime Le Monde, des bons résultats économiques de l'Éthiopie d'Abiy Ahmed.  « Quand les fêtes religieuses révèlent les fractures sociales » Afrik.com enfin met l'accent sur une douloureuse question de société au Bénin : « Quand les fêtes religieuses révèlent les fractures sociales », titre le site. Un sujet qui concerne toutes les confessions. À chaque Tabaski, à chaque Noël, à chaque Ramadan, à chaque célébration du Vodun, deux réalités coexistent souvent dans le même espace national. Afrik.com décrit « ces pères de famille qui parcourent les marchés dans un silence lourd, calculant mentalement ce qu'ils ne pourront finalement pas acheter, alors que des mères dissimulent leur inquiétude derrière des sourires de circonstance pour empêcher leurs enfants de comprendre que cette année encore, la fête sera modeste ».  Car il y a ceux qui peuvent célébrer dans l'abondance et ceux qui doivent se serrer la ceinture. « Dans plusieurs pays d'Afrique de l'Ouest, l'inflation alimentaire continue d'aggraver ces déséquilibres », pointe le journal. « Les grandes fêtes religieuses rappellent chaque année une vérité essentielle : une société ne se mesure pas uniquement à la richesse qu'elle produit, mais aussi à sa capacité à empêcher que certains vivent la joie collective comme une douleur personnelle ».  Afrik.com estime que les différences religieuses doivent devenir des occasions de fraternité et être ainsi des actes silencieux de construction nationale. 

In early 2023, dating site Eharmony released findings from a survey of over 1000 singletons. The research found that on average they spent 55 minutes per day logged in to the dating app, with six conversations on the go at the same time. Despite that, as many as 70% of those surveyed felt heavy dating app usage had a negative impact on their mental health. Spending so much energy on dating can get overwhelming, but fear not. I'm here to tell you about a solution which could help you take back control of your love life: the zero date. The idea was invented back in 2018 by American entrepreneur Christina Wallace.  What's it all about then?

Tafsir Ibn Kathir describes Surah An-Naml (The Ant, Qur'an 27) as a chapter that emphasizes Allah's wisdom, power, and guidance through the stories of prophets such as Musa (Moses), Sulayman (Solomon), and Salih. A central focus is the story of Prophet Sulayman understanding the speech of the ant and his interactions with the Queen of Sheba, showing gratitude, justice, and submission to Allah. The surah also warns against arrogance and disbelief while encouraging reflection on the signs of creation and the truth of the Hereafter.

Quran Chapter 26, Ash-Shu'ara (“The Poets”), emphasizes the message of divine guidance and the repeated rejection of prophets by their people. The surah recounts the stories of prophets such as Moses, Abraham, Noah, Hud, Salih, Lot, and Shu'ayb, highlighting themes of faith, perseverance, and the consequences of denying truth. It concludes by affirming the authenticity of the Quran and distinguishing true divine revelation from the words of misguided poets.

The cookbook hit the bestseller lists on Amazon, USA Today and Publisher's Weekly. Ad revenue is no longer enough to support a long-term food blogging business. In this episode, Yumna shares the exact ways she diversified Feel Good Foodie into a recognizable brand with multiple income streams. This conversation is packed with practical ideas for experienced food bloggers who want more stability, visibility, and long-term growth. Key Topics Discussed: - Build revenue streams before traffic declines force you to. - Long term brand partnerships outperform one off sponsorships. - A cookbook strengthens authority far beyond direct sales. - Affiliate income grows faster when personality leads the content. - Email works best when it builds relationships instead of pushing recipes. - Video creates stronger audience connection than static content alone.

Salih Hudayar is the Foreign Minister and former Prime Minister of the East Turkistan Government in Exile. He was born in East Turkistan, fled to the United States as a political refugee at age 7, and has spent his life working to bring international attention to what the US government and over a dozen Western parliaments have formally recognized as a genocide. We covered: how China invaded and occupied East Turkistan in 1949 with Stalin's help; the 1996 secret document that became the blueprint for genocidal policy; how China created a fake jihadist organization to justify its crackdown; how China and Turkey funneled 20,000 Uyghurs into Syria to manufacture a "terrorism" narrative; Xi Jinping's "show no mercy" speech and the bombing that followed two hours after his plane left; the 2.2 million Chinese officials sent to live inside Uyghur homes; the forced removal of over a million children into military boarding schools; 16,000 mosques destroyed; Muslim names, Ramadan fasting, and the Arabic greeting "Assalamu Alaikum" all banned; and the ongoing organ harvesting program in which an estimated 25,000 to 50,000 young Uyghurs are killed annually for their organs. The genocide is now in its 13th year. Millions remain in concentration camps. This is happening now.

Hillsdale College Radio General Manager and Radio Free Hillsdale Hour host Scot Bertram fills in for Jim Geraghty on on the Friday 3 Martini Lunch. Today, Scot and Greg discuss President Trump firing Attorney General Pam Bondi, anti-Semitism driving a majority of hate crimes in New York City, the radical beliefs of a competitive U.S. Senate candidate in Michigan, and King Charles III skipping an Easter message..First, they react to President Trump's dismissal of Pam Bondi. Trump insists Bondi did a good job and they she will take on a different role in the administration. So why did Trump make this move? Scot and Greg offer a couple of explanations for why this happened and why it happened now.Next, they examine troubling new data from the NYPD showing that a majority of hate crimes in New York City during the first quarter of 2026 were driven by anti-Semitism. Scot explains why he thinks Islamic radicals feel emboldened right now in New York City and beyond. Greg suggests there's a pretty simple way to bring those numbers way down.Then, they take a close look at Abdul El-Sayed, one of the Democrats running for U.S. Senate in Michigan in a very close primary. New reporting this week shows El-Sayed wanted to avoid a public response to the U.S. killing of Iran's Supreme Leader Ali Khameini. And a former member of the campaign staff says El-Sayed true beliefs on Israel and other issues are deeply disturbing.In the Friday chaser, Scot and Greg shake their heads as the UK's King Charles III declines to give an Easter message just weeks after issuing a very positive statement for Ramadan.Please visit our great sponsors:Upgrade to polished and comfortable with Mizzen & Main — get 20% off your first purchase at https://MizzenandMain.com with promo code 3ML20.Take your personal data back with Incogni—use code 3ML for 60% off an annual plan at https://Incogni.com/3MLMake this the season where no opportunity or customer slips away with Quo.

A man quietly says a prayer on a flight, and it ends with police, a diversion, and a wave of panic. What should have been an ordinary moment of religious observance during Ramadan was treated like a security threat, exposing how quickly fear and bias can escalate at 30,000 feet. In this episode, we break down what actually happened, why it spiraled, and what it reveals about the double standard around public expressions of faith. Also this week: Trump leans into "bad genetics" rhetoric that sounds a lot like eugenics, Texas rolls out a "religious freedom" voucher program that somehow excludes Muslim schools, and a new legal challenge turns abortion bans into a religious freedom issue. We also look at a bizarre Bible-reading marathon featuring conservative heavyweights, and a papal critique of war that raises big questions about moral accountability. Then in the final segment, we dig into whether a progressive Christian like James Talarico might be part of the answer to Christian nationalism, or just a different version of the same problem.

They discuss Americans being urged to leave Iraq immediately by the US Embassy in Baghdad, gunfire at a crowded Flordia beach during spring break and the woke Canadian school banning children from eating in its cafeteria and lunch room to avoid offending Muslim students during Ramadan.

New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani has brought his Muslim faith to the center of his political life, but his effort has faced a backlash.During this Ramadan he's hosted half a dozen public prayers and celebrations, the latest Monday night when he broke fast with incarcerated men at Rikers Island. NPR's Brian Mann reports on how Mamdani's efforts to celebrate his Muslim faith and the backlash that has accompanied those efforts. For sponsor-free episodes of Consider This, sign up for Consider This+ via Apple Podcasts or at plus.npr.org. Email us at considerthis@npr.org.This episode was produced by Jason Fuller, Sarah Ventre and Karen Zamora, with audio engineering by Ted Mebane. It was edited by Jason DeRose, Andrea de Leon, Daniel Burke and Courtney Dorning. Our executive producer is Sami Yenigun.To manage podcast ad preferences, review the links below:See pcm.adswizz.com for information about our collection and use of personal data for sponsorship and to manage your podcast sponsorship preferences.Learn more about sponsor message choices: podcastchoices.com/adchoicesNPR Privacy Policy

Somali cuisine is a mixture of many traditions, from meat prepared according to nomadic customs, to a spice mix made possible by medieval Indian Ocean trade routes. There are even pasta dishes, owing to Italian colonization until 1960 – and you'll often find a banana served on the side. Ifrah F. Ahmed has made it her mission to document and preserve the food of Somalia in her new cookbook, Soomaaliya: Food, Memory and Migration. At a time when Somali and Somali-American culture is under threat, Ifrah's work feels especially important. Somali culture prizes its oral tradition, but Ifrah has decided to write it all down: the history, the recipes, and her own story. This week, Dan visits Ifrah in her kitchen as she makes an iftar meal for Ramadan, and he tries his hand at making sambuus (a deep-fried meat dumpling).

Let's share some of the ways Israel has become an idol for the American right…Episode Links:US Senator Lindsay Graham during a hurricane that killed at least 49 people in his state: “Look at what's going on in Israel! They're running out of ammunition. We have to help our friends!”Ted Cruz Declares Saying “Christ Is King” Is Anti-Semitic And Anti-JewCharlie Kirk was advocating for a “third way” when it came to the US relationship with Israel. Jew hate is wrong, but so is the puritanical religious allegiance to a foreign nation state. Most people just want America to have a non-religious, objective relationship with Israel where they are held to same standard as every other US ally, and do not get unfair or unequal influence on the American government, body politic, and media.GRAHAM: “I feel good about the Republican Party. We're killing all the right people and cutting your taxes. Trump is my favorite president. We've run out of bombs. We didn't even run out of bombs in WWII.” This guy is a psychopath.5 Israeli Soldiers apparently beat and baped a man with an object causing massive internal bleeding that required surgery. They have been aquitted of all charges. Even people like Redheaded Literbarian are furious about it.SecWar Pete Hegseth responds to Tucker Carlson: "Tucker Carlson called the war 'disgusting and evil' and then said of unconditional surrender, which the president has called for, means 'foreign troops get to r*pe your wives and daughters.'"HEGSETH: "We're busy executing on behalf of great patriotic Americans with a clear mission that's 47 years overdue and we're gonna execute on that regardless of what people say about it."WATCH: CNN's Jake Tapper opens Friday's show with a monologue warning of the backlash against Muslims and followers of Islam following the recent string of anti-Semitic attacks across the globeBREAKING - Muslims in the U.S. have started a new trend where they record themselves taking over Christian churches, converting them into mosques, and posting the videos while mocking Christians for their weakness and inability to stop them.Shocking video from England: A Muslim man approaches a non-Muslim couple eating in a restaurant during Ramadan, demanding 'Please don't be eating in Ramadan yeah? Please, because you know really bad.' The couple calmly explain they're not Muslim, but he warns it's 'very big trouble.' This isn't respect, it's imposing religious rules on others in a secular host country. Is this acceptable? Why should residents tolerate strangers enforcing Islamic fasting on them? Why isn't the government protecting citizens' freedoms from such intimidation?

Dan fills a taxi full of food and takes it to JFK Airport at sundown to break the Ramadan fast with Muslim cab drivers. What could go wrong? Plus a Texan talks about embracing her Muslim roots after 9/11 and fasting on Ramadan for the first time when she was in her thirties. And Arab-American teens reveal the best and worst parts of Ramadan. This episode originally aired on June 29, 2015, and was produced by Dan Pashman, Anne Saini, and Tim Ruggeri.

There is no sugarcoating this. In light of the rash of “Ramadan” terror attacks in America, the time has come for a complete moratorium on this form of immigration. I make the case for why Trump must use the DHS funding bill for immigration reform and why it's a bigger deal than the SAVE Act. Next, I'm joined by Krista Schild of the RAIR Foundation, who observes how Texas Republican Governor Greg Abbott's designation of the Muslim Brotherhood in Texas has no teeth in it. The legislature needs to convene a special session. Meanwhile, Islamists with connections to some of the worst terrorists continue to run education facilities and mosques in Texas. Even rural Texas is being colonized with more mosques. This is a do-or-die moment for our civilization. Blue states are gone.
