  • Sensational and informative

    Brother Dilly has developed his abilities/skills (AHB) massively over the years. His style of sharp yet respectful questioning is one of the best out there currently. He also has a unique way of keeping conversations flowing even in disagreements of opinions. The varied selection of guests is key to the issues facing the UK Muslims as well as the wider ummah. Big up to 5 pillars as a whole. May Allah bless their hands.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Aliyah Umm Raiyaan | Revert Struggles, Anti-Black Racism & Gender Wars | BB #207
Q: How has Solace UK adapted to contemporary challenges like culture wars and online gender debates?
The organization remained service-focused and people-centered, not letting online culture wars affect its direct help. They expanded services, implemented a long-term strategy, and emphasized education, awareness, and community support rather than engaging in divisive online debates.
Aliyah Umm Raiyaan | Revert Struggles, Anti-Black Racism & Gender Wars | BB #207
Q: What was the origin story of Solace UK and what motivated you to start it?
Solace UK began from Aliyah's own lived experience as a new Muslim who faced isolation and lack of support after Shahada. She decided to create a formal organization to ensure no other sister would endure such hardship alone, leading to a registered charity focused on post-Shahada challenges and holistic support for women.
Subboor Ahmad | Women in Dawah, Dawah Without A State & Latin America | BB #206
Q: How do you reconcile a data-driven approach with the belief that guidance ultimately comes from God?
The speakers acknowledge KPIs and data as tools to identify where dawa is most effective, while insisting the ultimate guidance remains divine; data helps optimize where resources are allocated to maximize authentic impact without compromising the faith-based roots.
Bob Vylan | Britain, Racism, Transatlantic Slavery & D**th D**th To The IDF | BB #200
Q: From a scale to one to 10, how significant was the Glastonbury moment and the reaction to it?
The moment is significant in terms of public visibility and career impact, but its deeper significance lies in how it reflected broader political currents and provoked a national conversation about protest, free speech, and the boundaries of acceptable discourse in mainstream culture.
Tadgh Hickey | Sumud Flotilla, Israeli Jail, Iran War, Zionism & Sobriety | BB #199
Q: Did you manage to speak to Greta Thunberg about Palestine and Gaza and Israel and Zionism?
Yes, Greta connected various causes, including climate justice and Palestine, seeing the Palestine movement as part of a broader struggle against oppression; she remained fearless and continued her activism despite the harsh conditions on the boat.
