  • Excellent blend of sharp analysis and a lot of heart

    I have learnt a lot from professor Adnan Husain’s show. It has also introduced me to several thinkers whose analyses I seek out now. In this v moment (Aug 2025), probably the set of scholar-activists I seek out the most.

  • A gift.

    Adnan Husain is such a blessing, not only to the Muslim Ummah, but the Left. Him having his own show, free from institutional suppression, with his own unique style, is perfect.
