  • Why Muslim women not allowed in mosque

    Beautiful I love this podcast. This is the question I had from years why Pakistani women not allowed in mosque. Is it a religious thing or cultural thing? My visit to Boston mosque changed my perception. I witnessed by opening fast and did Eid prayers. Men were all in front rows and women all beautiful dressed behind with their children. This was so impressive after Eid mosque gave 5$ to each child. I’m from London we do not have such facility. Mosques are mainly for men and there some kind of m... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

#7 In Therapy, With SheikhaGPT
Q: What concerns did Dr. Rania raise about AI chatbots in therapy?
She stressed that AI lacks a soul, conscience, religious transmission (silsila), and taqwa, which could jeopardize faith and intellect (Aql) when dealing with critical mental health issues.
#6: Cape Malay: The Indonesian Roots of South African Islam
Q: How did the community keep its faith and culture alive during oppressive periods like apartheid?
Dhikr and communal practices provided spiritual resistance and continuity, helping people endure oppression and maintain a sense of belonging despite political and social pressures.
#6: Cape Malay: The Indonesian Roots of South African Islam
Q: What connects the Cape Malay community to its Indonesian roots in the 17th century?
Enslaved and exiled Indonesian leaders and scholars arrived with the Dutch, bringing Islam and creating a foundational community that blended Indonesian heritage with local conditions, forging a unique Cape Malay identity.
#3 The Secret Translators (with The Digital Sisterhood)
Q: Did you ever start to worry about maybe catering too much to what that reader wanted over actually providing a more strict literal translation?
Amitullah mentioned that while they wanted to avoid being apologetic with the translations, they also needed to ensure that critical footnotes were included to provide context and facilitate proper understanding.
#2 The Nikkah Loophole
Q: What happens when your marriage is recognized by faith, but invisible to the law you live under?
The episode investigates legal limbo for those married under Islamic law lacking recognition under UK law.
