Waheed JensenA podcast series discussing the everyday struggles of Muslims with same-sex attractions (SSA) who want to live a life true to Allah and Islam. I am Waheed Jensen, and I have SSA.

- Addressing an important topic with a fresh POV
I love this podcast with all my heart. I started listening to it out of curiosity, mostly about how the LGBTQ movement should be looked at from an Islamic lens, but it’s honestly a spiritual boost from all angles. The topics of shame, self-love, arrogance, and pride are very applicable not just to people experiencing same-sex attractions, but also to a Muslim as a whole. Amazing podcast.

Salam. Thank you Waheed for this wonderful podcast. I especially loved the Fiqh aspects by Shaykh Mustafa Umar and Amina’s incredible story. Such an inspiring bitter-sweet story of courage, virtue and (InshAllah) redemption.
I am a straight 46 year old with a degree in English Literature and a four year old girl. Allah make the paths you have chosen and the temptations you have resisted for Him a source of light both today and on the Day we meet Him. Peace and love to you all.

I am not someone with SSA but came across this podcast recently and am stunned by the amazing stories of these people. Particularly Sinan’s story. What an incredible person he is, and thank you to the host for creating this space and for allowing people like me to understand the struggles of people with SSA, as well as giving some really important lessons about sacrificing in the way of Allah, which can be applied to all struggles.
