What does it mean to honour somebody? What is the greatest testament of the bond between mother and daughter? How can you love, through Him - and what is a love that lasts forever, beyond this world, and into the next?

"They tried to bury the truth along with him. But some seeds refuse to stay buried." After the death of Soleiman Faqiri, his family was left with unimaginable grief and unanswered questions. But instead of letting his injustice be buried, his family turned their grief into a relentless pursuit of justice. They chose to fight for truth, for justice, and for the dignity every human deserves. In this episode, we explore how faith in Allah, patience in the face of injustice, and love for family can turn sorrow into something powerful. Because even when seeds are buried deep beneath the soil, Allah can still make them bloom. ______ Call to Action: The Faqiri family is calling on the Premier of Ontario, Doug Ford, to issue a formal apology for the beating death of Soleiman Faqiri at the hands of correctional officers. To date, the Ontario government has refused to apologize to the Faqiri family. We encourage members of the public to email the Premier at doug.ford@pc.ola.org and urge the Ontario government to issue…

Ala’a never imagined that the ground she would be asked to plant in would be sorrow. After her brother was taken from her through gun violence, sorrow could have swallowed everything. The shock. The anger. The questions that never get answers. But instead of allowing his story to end in tragedy, Ala’a chose to carry it forward. In honor of her brother — his smile, his softness, the way he loved — Ala’a planted something in his name. Smile for Sache was born not out of strategy, but out of longing. A refusal to let his light disappear. A promise that his joy would continue to move through this world. This episode is about the kind of pain that could harden you and the courage it takes to let it soften you instead. Sometimes the seed we are given is grief. And what we grow from it, that is hope. ________ TDS is fundraising with HCI to support humanitarian efforts in Sudan by helping provide food, clean water, medical care, and other essential aid to families in need.

What does it mean to plant a seed that will outlive you? In this opening episode of Season 7: To Seed Is To Hope, we sit with Dr. Sohaira to explore the journey behind building one of the first spaces of its kind in the region — a mosque and women’s center designed intentionally, thoughtfully, and unapologetically around women. But this story is not simply about constructing a space. It is about walking the golden path. The path of seeking knowledge, embodying it, and using it to transform lives. At its core, this episode asks: When knowledge is placed in your hands, what will you build with it? 🎙️ Fill your feed with more Muslim narratives that reflect you, I highly recommend tuning into the 'More Muslim' podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/more-muslim/id1872019004?i=1000750266033 ________ ✨ TDS is fundraising with HCI to support humanitarian efforts in Sudan by helping provide food, clean water, medical care, and other essential aid to families in need.

This episode reflects on Qadr and the way Allah guides people through separate journeys before bringing them together. Hiba and Zayd move through their own challenges, learning patience, responsibility, and trust without knowing how their paths will eventually align. Rather than coincidence, their story shows intention: growth before union, faith before love. It is a reminder that Allah prepares hearts long before He joins them, and that what is written will arrive only when the time is right.

What does it really mean to wait for love, for connection, for a du‘ā you’ve been waiting for to happen? In this episode your certified lover girl, Cadar, invites you into The Waiting Room, that quiet, in-between space where hope meets surrender. Inspired by a reflection from Sophia Kabiito, a Certified Integrative Wellness & Life Coach, this conversation explores what it means to become the heart that already feels the love you’re praying for. Through stories of longing, the lessons of Adam and Hawa, and the wisdom of Shaykh Yahya Ibrahim, we uncover how love has been part of our design all along not as a fairytale, but as an act of faith. Because maybe waiting isn’t punishment. Maybe it’s preparation. And maybe love, real love starts with the One who wrote it for you in the first place.

Dear listeners This season, we return to the first love story, Adam & Hawa. Not a tale of fleeting romance, but of divine purpose. A bond written by Allah, blessed in Paradise, tested on Earth and built on sukūn (tranquility), raḥmah (mercy) and unity of the soul. The book design is meant to reflect our search for meaning in what’s written for us, the prayers we hold, the dreams we chase, and the heartbreaks that shape us. Each page, blank or filled, is a reminder that Allah’s story for us unfolds in perfect time and wisdom. This is our Ode to them, & to the sacred love Allah continues to write in all of us.

Dreams marked the beginning of revelation — and in Islam, they remain a sacred thread to the unseen. In this episode, we explore the spiritual power of dreams with Ustadh Arif (Abu Muhammad), a dream interpreter who’s helped countless Muslims find meaning in the messages they receive at night. We also follow Syeda’s powerful journey — a vivid dream that changed everything, told and interpreted live for the first time. Some dreams fade by morning.But some? They stay with us — and if we listen, they just might lead us home. ✨Community Spotlight: Say Somaali✨ In this episode, we’re highlighting Say Somaali — a grassroots initiative supporting Somali students in Toronto.

In today’s episode, we sit down with Sayema - a Muslim psychotherapist - for a deeply-personal story about the unseen costs of having our lives be too visible online. What began as a mission to offer healing and service turned into a slow, quiet unraveling under the weight of envy, burnout, and the spiritual harm of evil-eye. Sayema’s story is raw, reflective, and shows her ultimately-redemptive journey of what happens when the healer via psychotherapy becomes the afflicted; and finds the cure not in the algorithm, but in the Quran, and from Al-Shifa, The One Who Heals. - Your Chance to Build a House in Jannah—Right Here in Chicago!

We know that Allah SWT has not sent down any disease, but that he also sent its cure. And that cure is His book, His words, His guidance. But are we utilising it? In this episode we are joined by Umm Muhammad, who talks to us about the prophetic tradition of Ruqyah - how to revive it and practice it, and how to protect oneself against the trials that we have discussed in the season so far. Allah SWT does not burden a soul beyond what it can bear, and this conversation reminds us to return to Him and fear only Him, because he is As-Shifa, our ultimate protector and source of healing. ✨SPONSORS✨: 🔹 REEF Perfumes – Now in North America!

In the second part of Aliatou's journey, the forces she once sought to control now dominate her life, leaving her spiritually lost and broken. The darkness consumes her, and she is left with nothing but the weight of her choices. But even in the darkest moments, a flicker of light remains—an undeniable call back to the faith she once knew. This episode explores Aliatou’s painful struggle to reclaim her soul, to return to Islam, and to seek Allah's mercy. It’s a story of repentance, healing, and the profound transformation that comes with reconnecting to the Divine.

There’s a world just beyond the veil, where shadows linger and whispers echo, where a flicker of doubt or fear can pull us into places we’d never thought we’d go. For Aliatou, the allure of this world wasn’t born of fear, but of curiosity—a desire to reconnect with her ancestral roots. In her search for deeper meaning, seeking to understand the traditions of her ancestors, she taps into something ancient and powerful. But as she ventures into the unknown, the line between the curiosity for her heritage and the dangerous forces she invited into her life begins to blur. Part 1 of Aliatou’s journey explores her fascination with the unknown and her descent into the world of Santeria. It’s a tale of curiosity, spiritual struggle, and the danger of seeking answers in places where light cannot reach. As she opens herself to the unseen, the forces she encounters begin to change her in ways she never imagined, setting the stage for the darkness that lies ahead.
