In this episode, we discuss the connection between what we eat and our spirituality. Sheikh Jaffer Ladak and Zainali Panjwani provide a deep insight into the Islamic traditions about the food we eat, the impact it can have on our bodies and souls, and most importantly how it can help us get closer to Allah. As it is the month of Ramadan, a month of spirituality but also a time when come together as families and friends to break our fast with food, it’s a great time to be a little more conscious of the food decisions we make in order to have a spiritual diet.

We speak with Ibrahim Khan from Islamic Finance Guru about how Muslims can manage their money better this Ramadan, with a rise in inflation and financial turbulence. We also discuss Zakat and how both Muslim donors and charities should reconsider the type of charitable projects they invest in.

The end of the holy month of Ramadan has seen the global Muslim population's attention being pulled towards the suffering and plight of our brothers and sisters in Palestine as the illegal occupation forces continue their assault and attack on the Palestinian people in Jerusalem, Al-Aqsa mosque and most recently Gaza. 

Salim sat down with Shamiul from Friends of Al-Aqsa (a UK NGO concerned with defending the human rights of Palestinians and protecting the sacred al-Aqsa Sanctuary in Jerusalem) to get a brief update on the current situation and also discuss how we can get involved and help.

Content Warning: Eating disorders, Anxiety, Depression, Suicidal Thoughts

This week, our host Salim is joined yet again by cohost Rukshana as they talk to Nazia Khatun - fitness specialist and founder of Fitness Reborn. Having been an amateur boxer, she shares with us her experience as we broach the topic of mental health (particularly in relation to body image) in our communities. Nazia speaks about her personal challenges, touching on how culture only seemed to aggravate them, and how she eventually managed to overcome them. The discussion turns to the importance of having these conversations within our communities, moving past the damaging misconception that this is a "white people problem", as that is the only way to truly address and eradicate this issue.

In light of the tragic murder of Sarah Everard, we were having conversations in the TMV office about sexual harassment and decided to turn on the mics and hit record. Something a little bit different from our usual content, but we think it's time that more people engaged in conversations with one another about the topic to better understand male and more importantly female perspectives on this very important issue.

Content Warnings: Violence/Murder,  Death of a loved one, Islamophobia

This week, our host Salim is joined by co-host Rukshana, as they talk to Maz Saleem about one of the most heartbreaking experiences of her past. Maz tells us about her father, and how he was murdered by a terrorist in 2013. She shares her experience, from dealing with ignorant police to being treated as a suspect, with the killer only receiving justice three months after the murder. Following this, Maz tells us how her experience has pushed her to fight for justice for other Muslims and prevent them from being treated the same way. We look at the work she does, pushing against islamophobia and racism, representing and supporting other suffering Muslim families, and how at the end of the day, it all stems back from her father.

Investment makes up a big part of our financial literacy, and given how Islam dictates some of our decisions in this domain, it is a conversation that we should be having more. This week Salim speaks to Khurram Agha, founder and CEO of Aghaz Investments, about how to focus on values-based investment, and how following the rules of religion does not have to mean leaving money on the table. He speaks of his own experiences in investing, how he had to navigate the unexpected obstacles, and how that lead him to develop a tool to aid other Muslims to invest easier and in a halal manner.
