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. 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.

Megan chats with Yumna Jawad about building a multi-revenue food blogging business through cookbooks, partnerships, affiliate marketing, speaking opportunities, and physical products. Yumna Jawad, who was born in Africa to Lebanese parents and moved to the US at 11 years old, is beloved by millions of fans globally on Instagram, TikTok, and her website, Feel Good Foodie for her unique, delicious, creative and easy recipes that often go viral on social media. She has grown her massive following from scratch the past decade and has recently founded a new culinary venture, Oath Oats, launched in November 2022. Yumna's viral food trends have been featured by Live with Kelly & Ryan, The Today Show, Good Morning America, PEOPLE, Vogue, and the New York Times. A graduate from the University of Michigan Business School, she now lives in Grand Rapids, Michigan, with her husband and two kids. Yumna's parents are both Lebanese so she proudly features Lebanese, middle eastern and Ramadan recipes as part of her heritage. Her first cookbook, The Feel Good Foodie Cookbook, launched in May 2024 (Penguin) and is filled with over 100 approachable, unique and delicious "Middle Eastern meets Midwestern" recipes for the entire family. 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.

Hanaa and Lucien are BACK. The hosts catch up with each other, with Lucien discussing a recent long-haul trip back to the United States from Saudi Arabia (with 3 children in tow!). The hosts take some time to discuss their show's recent deliberate break since the start of Ramadan, and why they paused for a bit during the regional conflict. They share some thoughts on where Saudi Arabia goes from an inflection point now that will ripple through diplomacy, business, and culture. They also catch up with each other's recent professional developments; Hanaa talks about her work building a new mission-led ed-tech agency and a forthcoming GCC book on women and vocational education. That led to Lucien's curiosity (a mini interview!) in Hanaa's views on how the advent of AI, already a major game-changer in labor and employment, will affect jobs and particularly youth as they enter key phases in the development of their thinking on career paths - something Hanaa has spent a great deal of time understanding. Hanaa discusses how AI is a genuine accelerant for personalized learning, but in schools it is a very different beast — and without a deliberate readiness strategy that protects young people's wellbeing and keeps humans in the loop, the technology deepens the very crisis it promises to solve. Hanaa frames AI in education through the lens of how young people actually learn and aspire, not through the technology itself. She talks about how AI in schools cannot be regulated like AI anywhere else because of two concerns that are paramount with AI for youth: safety and mental health.

North Carolina is at the center of a heated conversation in this episode of The Smith and Rowland Show Podcast. The discussion starts with a mishandled sponsor intro, then turns serious fast. Jeff Rowland and Alan Smith react to a North Carolina proclamation recognizing Ramadan and talk through what that means for faith, public life, and the state of the local church. They also discuss why they believe Christians need to pay closer attention to what is happening in NC, especially when public leaders make formal statements about Islamic observance. This episode pushes into hard questions about religious language in government, church responsibility, spiritual warfare, and the kind of world the next generation is walking into. The hosts also talk about a recent church visit from a woman from Iran, the importance of local congregations, and why they believe some churches are being called to take a stronger stand. If you follow Christian commentary, NC politics, or current events tied to religion and culture, this Podcast episode gives you a direct, unfiltered conversation. It is part news reaction, part Bible-based warning, and part call to action for believers who think the church should speak with clarity. Watch this episode for a candid look at one of the most talked-about topics in North Carolina right now. #NC #Islamic #Podcast #SmithAndRowlandShow #ChristianPodcast
Abdallah El Mahdy is a counselor who spent over 21 years in the Egyptian justice system — 17 years in the Public Prosecution and 4 years as a judge — before transitioning to private practice as a lawyer. He has investigated every category of crime across Egypt, from the cities to Upper Egypt, from drug trafficking corridors to murder cases that made national headlines. A man who has seen the darkest side of human nature and still shows up every day.--المستشار عبدالله المهدي قضى أكتر من ٢١ سنة في جهاز العدالة المصري — ١٧ سنة في النيابة العامة و٤ سنين قاضي — قبل ما ينتقل للمحاماة. حقق في كل أنواع الجرائم في مصر، من المدن للصعيد، من قضايا المخدرات لقضايا القتل اللي نزلت أخبار. راجل شاف أوحش اللي في البشر… ولسه بيكمل.--This episode with Counselor Abdallah El Mahdy will take you inside a world most people don't know exists. You'll hear what it's like to receive a phone call every night at 3am telling you someone just died, how a young prosecutor solved a murder with no body by unscrewing an electric saw, why a wife killed her husband on the first day of Ramadan over a religion exam grade, what it looks like when 14 people die in a single feud case, how prosecutors learn to separate their personal life from the horror they see daily, the real difference between crime in movies and crime in Egypt, how interrogations actually work versus what you see on screen, and what one man learned about human nature after 21 years of facing the worst of it.--الحلقة دي مع المستشار عبدالله المهدي هتدخلك عالم ناس كتير ما تعرفش إنه موجود. هتسمع يعني إيه كل يوم الساعة ٣ الصبح يجيلك تليفون إن حد مات، إزاي وكيل نيابة شاب حل قضية قتل بدون جثة بمنشار كهربا، ليه ست قتلت جوزها أول يوم رمضان عشان ابنهم جاب صفر في الدين، يعني إيه ١٤ شخص يموتوا في قضية ثأر واحدة، إزاي اللي بيشتغل في النيابة بيفصل بين حياته الشخصية والرعب اللي بيشوفه كل يوم، إيه الفرق الحقيقي بين الجرايم في الأفلام والجرايم في مصر، التحقيقات بتمشي إزاي في الحقيقة مش زي ما بتتعرض على الشاشة، وإيه اللي راجل اتعلمه عن الطبيعة البشرية بعد ٢١ سنة من مواجهة أوحش اللي فيها.

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.

The battle within ourselves is the most relentless - and often the most overlooked. In this season opener, Ismail Shahid dives deep into the hidden war happening inside all of us, a battle that controls our anger, patience, and progress more than any external challenge. Could mastering the self be the key to transforming not just your life but your entire community?This episode strips away the noise of news cycles, political debates, and social media chaos to focus on an inner struggle that determines our fate. Ismail explores how the system exploits our internal weaknesses -the anger, arrogance, and self-doubt that rob us of peace and purpose. He shares powerful insights from spiritual teachings, including how Ramadan's month-long discipline trains us to tame the unconscious self, or nafs, and how everyday encounters reveal the true battleground: the mind and heart. You'll discover practical frameworks to identify and control the "robber" in your house - that relentless self that steals your happiness, resilience, and direction. Ismail discusses how travel exposes the stark contrast between external chaos and internal calm, and why true strength lies in self-awareness. Expect stories of transformation, hints on how to confront the anger that plagues many, and a call to reflect on yoy personal journey. This episode is a vital wake-up call for anyone feeling overwhelmed by societal division, personal setbacks, or inner turmoil. The truth is: our greatest obstacle isn't outside forces -it's the self we carry every day. Understanding and controlling that self unlocks the potential for genuine peace, unity, and progress. Perfect listening for those seeking real resilience, inner peace, and a fighting chance against the chaos of life. Join us on this journey of self-discovery, transformation, and collective healing. The battle within begins now -are you ready to take control?

In this episode, we talk about what it's really like to raise Muslim kids in the West during Ramadan, the fasting battles, the different personalities, and how to get your kids genuinely excited about Islam. We share personal reflections from the Quran this Ramadan, including gems from the story of Nuh, the Prophet's death, and an Islamic court system that has no equal anywhere in the world. We also discuss the Iran situation, the moral panic spreading on social media, and why Muslims need to stop chasing the prophecies of others and trust what Allah has already told us.

Host Andrew Camp interviews religious ethicist and Northeastern professor Liz Bucar about her book, "Beyond Wellness: How Restoring the Religious Roots of Spiritual Practices Can Heal Us." Bucar shares her path into religious studies and explains how “spiritual salad bar” approaches—popular among Gen Z and driven by personalization and algorithms—can miss religious context, community, and ethical depth, sometimes causing harm. She critiques wellness culture's individual optimization and “toxic diet culture,” including moralizing food, ascetic restriction, and valorizing thinness, tracing these in part to mainstreamed strands of Christian theology. Bucar highlights religious resources for healthier food ways, using Ramadan to show fasting as communal, virtue-forming, and bounded by exemptions, and discusses Ayurvedic balance as an alternative to rigid good/bad food categories. The conversation emphasizes communal eating, hospitality, and flourishing beyond personal control.Liz Bucar is a religious ethicist and professor of religion at Northeastern University, as well as a certified intenSati and Kripalu yoga instructor. Her popular writing has appeared in The Atlantic, the Los Angeles Times, Teen Vogue, and The Wall Street Journal, and she is the author of four books, including the award-winning Stealing My Religion and Pious Fashion. She lives in Brookline, Massachusetts.

Carmen LaBerge opens the Monday Mailbag to answer questions around this week America Reads the Bible event, regarding the religious worldview behind popular youth entertainment offerings "Pokemon" and "KPop Demon Hunters," and about Ukraine's use of air and land drones in conflict. Political scientist Daniel Bennett, author of "Uneasy Citizenship," addresses concerns when Muslims were observing Ramadan and some public schools may have went beyond accomodating Muslim students practices to actively promoting them. He also addresses a speech by Justice Clarence Thomas who questioned if a progressive worldview work within the context of our Constitutional government.

In this week's episode, we listen to part two of Fiza's conversation with Dr Sarah Wijesinghe. Sarah is a senior lecturer at Sunway University, Malaysia, with expertise in critical tourism, decolonization, and social equity. The conversation was recorded in an open air cafe in Kuala Lumpur, in the midst of Ramadan. As we shared about our roots - our origins, our childhood memories, and traced our routes that led us to this journey of decolonisation, you can hear the general cacophony of daily life. Having now returned to unceded Indigenous lands here, listening to the sounds of my own homeland has been a soothing balm, and the beautiful tapestry Sarah and I weaved together through this conversation reminds me of what bell hooks wrote in her book ‘All About Love', that “rarely, if ever, are any of us healed in isolation. Healing is an act of communion." While we never really arrived at any grand conclusions, I hope the explorations of possibilities, the journey of tracing how systems affect us will fuel fellow listeners to keep resisting, and to keep finding people to take up space with.

What do you do when your kids come home asking about another religion—or want to participate in a cultural celebration you don't fully understand?From Holi festivals to Ramadan dinners to Lunar New Year traditions, today's families are constantly encountering beliefs and practices outside their own. And for Christian parents, that can raise real questions:Is it okay to participate?Where's the line between appreciation and compromise?How do we guide our kids without shutting down their curiosity?In this episode, we're not offering a one-size-fits-all answer—but we are helping you think through it. Together, we explore the difference between culture and religion, what the Bible shows us about engaging other beliefs, and how to raise kids who are both grounded in their faith and open-hearted toward others.TakeawaysWhy conversations about other religions can feel uncomfortable (and why that's okay)Real-life examples: Holi, Ramadan, Hanukkah, and Lunar New YearThe difference between cultural participation and religious affirmationNot every cultural experience equals spiritual compromiseThere's often a difference between observing, participating, and worshipingYour role isn't to shield your kids from every difference—but to help them process itChristianity doesn't shrink when examined—it holds upChapters00:00 – Opening: Why Kids Asking About Other Religions Can Feel Tricky04:00 – Real-Life Experiences (Holi, Ramadan, Lunar New Year, Hanukkah)11:00 – What the Bible Shows About Culture and Faith20:00 – Untangling Culture vs. Religion30:00 – Where Do You Draw the Line?40:00 – Helping Kids Stay Curious and Grounded50:00 – Setting Boundaries for Different Ages56:00 – Final Thoughts: Faith That Holds Up
Sports nutrition in elite football is often misunderstood, even by the players doing it for a living. In this episode, Richard Graves sits down with Dr. Nessan Costello, 1st Team Sports Nutritionist at Al-Ahli in the Saudi Arabia Pro League, to cut through the noise and get practical about what performance nutrition actually looks like at the highest level. Nessan has worked across the Premier League with clubs including Chelsea, Newcastle United and Leeds United, and brings a rare combination of academic rigour and real-world experience to the conversation. From fuelling strategies across a congested fixture schedule to navigating Ramadan with Muslim players, and from debunking carbohydrate myths to calling out the damage done by overly controlling nutrition environments, this is a frank and refreshingly honest look at what it takes to keep elite footballers performing at their best, week in, week out. Whether you're a practitioner working at the sharp end of elite sport, a coach trying to get more out of your athletes, or simply someone who wants to understand the science behind peak performance, there is plenty here for you. In This Episode You Will Learn Why the majority of elite footballers are chronically underfuelled — and why that matters more than their body fat percentage The real science behind carbohydrate loading: why you should start 24 hours before kick-off, not the night before, and what foods actually work How to structure post-match nutrition across a 72-hour recovery window, including the specific gram-per-kilogram targets Nessan uses with his players Why ultra-lean body composition as a performance goal is actively harming players, and how disordered eating behaviours are more common in elite football than most environments will admit How Nessan adapted his approach during Ramadan — including training sessions at 10pm and cup semi-finals kicking off at 1:30am The practical hydration framework he uses: why 500ml of fluid with every meal beats carrying a big bottle around all day How nutrition changes across a full season, from pre-season heat acclimatisation through to the demands of a congested run-in Why supplements are largely irrelevant until you've nailed sleep, three meals a day, two snacks and consistent hydration What working in the Saudi Pro League has taught him about personalised nutrition across diverse nationalities and food cultures His advice for coaches and practitioners working without a dedicated nutritionist — and when it becomes worth bringing one in About Nessan Costello Dr. Nessan Costello is a sports nutritionist with over a decade of experience working at the highest levels of professional football. He has held roles at Premier League clubs including Chelsea, Newcastle United and Leeds United, before taking on his current position as 1st Team Sports Nutritionist at Al-Ahli in the Saudi Arabia Pro League. Nessan specialises in helping elite athletes optimise their health and performance through practical, evidence-based nutrition strategies — with a particular focus on fuelling, recovery and body composition in high-demand environments. He is known for his ability to simplify complex nutritional science and make it actionable for players, coaches and multidisciplinary teams alike.

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.

Today's Poll Question at Smerconish.com: Do you feel more drawn to organized religion, less drawn, or about the same? As Easter, Passover, and Ramadan converge, Michael explores whether America is experiencing a quiet return to organized faith—or continuing its long secular drift. New data shows declining religious affiliation overall, yet a surprising increase in Catholic and Orthodox conversions. What's driving this contradiction? From post-COVID isolation to technology's grip on daily life, Michael examines whether a hunger for community, structure, and human connection is pulling people back toward churches, synagogues, and mosques—and asks listeners where they stand.

More often, the real challenge is fear combined with a lack of a clear process for evaluating a potential spouse.Through the story of Nadia, a successful pharmacist who repeatedly walked away from serious prospects, we explore why confident women can suddenly feel uncertain and overwhelmed when it comes to marriage decisions.You'll learn:✨ Why fear shows up so strongly in marriage decisions✨ The hidden skills gap many women face when evaluating partners✨ The three major sources of marriage fear✨ Why competence — not courage — is the real antidote to doubtIf you've ever second-guessed yourself in relationships or wondered if you're being “too cautious” or “not cautious enough,” this conversation will help you rethink the entire process.------------------TIMESTAMPS:00:00 – 00:11 | Why Smart Women Still Pick the Wrong Men00:11 – 00:22 | Courage Isn't the Answer — Competence Is00:49 – 01:30 | The Fear of Choosing the Wrong Man01:30 – 02:29 | Nadia's Story: When Caution Turns Into Doubt02:29 – 03:01 | The Fear Isn't the Problem03:01 – 03:59 | The Pattern Among High-Achieving Women03:59 – 04:54 | The Marriage Skills Gap04:54 – 05:24 | Information Without a Process = Anxiety05:24 – 06:00 | You Don't Have a Picking Problem06:00 – 06:44 | Source #106:44 – 07:37 | Evaluating the Right Qualities in a Man07:37 – 08:26 | Source #208:26 – 09:20 | Intuition vs Anxiety09:20 – 10:25 | Source #310:25 – 10:59 | Allah's Timing vs Society's Timeline10:59 – 11:56 | How Nadia Finally Found Clarity11:56 – 12:15 | The Real Antidote to Fear12:15 – 12:41 | Identify Your Source of Fear12:41 – 13:06 | A Framework to Move Forward13:06 – 13:43 | Closing Dua & Final Advice------------------❤️ Follow Mindful Muslimah for more tips and updates: Website: https://www.mindful-muslimah.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/mindfulmuslimah/
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.

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?
