    What if everything you've been told about women in Islam is missing a crucial part of history? And why would an American Christian feminist become so fascinated with Islam that she began wearing hijab before even becoming Muslim?In this episode of The Ansari Podcast, we sit down with Dr. Tamara Gray, Islamic scholar, educator, and founder of Rabata, to explore the untold history of Muslim women, the relationship between Islam and feminism, and the surprising journey that led her from Christianity to Islam.We explore the extraordinary influence Muslim women have had throughout Islamic civilization, from female scholars who taught men and transmitted religious knowledge to women who shaped politics, education, and society. If women played such influential roles throughout Islamic history, why do so many Muslims today know so little about them?We also confront some of today's most controversial questions: Should Muslim women run for political office? Can women publicly teach Islam and give dawah? Is Islam the most feminist religion in the world? And how did colonialism change the way Muslim societies understand women's roles?Dr. Gray also shares her remarkable conversion story, explaining how her interest in feminism helped shape her journey toward Islam, why she embraced hijab before becoming Muslim, and what she discovered about women's rights, spirituality, and identity along the way.From the growing appeal of Muslim political leadership in America to the forgotten legacy of Muslim women, this conversation challenges assumptions about Islam, feminism, and what it means to be a Muslim woman today.JOIN OUR WEBSITE MEMBERSHIP! @https://www.patreon.com/c/theansaripodcastCheck out our sponsors!*The Debt Clinic*: https://www.Thedebtclinic.com/ansariProvision Capital: https://www.provisioncapital.com/ansariManzil: https://www.manzil.co/ansari#muslimpodcast #islamicpodcast #womeninislam #womenhistory #islamichistory #feminism

    What if aliens aren't actually from outer space? What if the beings behind some UFO sightings have been here all along?Are UFOs and UAPs connected to the Jinn described in the Quran? Could some alleged alien encounters, paranormal experiences, and unexplained phenomena be connected to the unseen world that Islam has spoken about for over 1,400 years?In this episode of The Ansari Podcast, we sit down with Imran Hussein to explore a fascinating and controversial theory: Are Jinn pretending to be aliens, and if so, why?From UFO sightings and congressional UAP hearings to reptilian beings, alleged alien abductions, and the coming of Dajjal (the Antichrist), we examine how ancient Islamic teachings might offer a different perspective on some of humanity's strangest mysteries.We explore the Quran and Hadith's descriptions of Jinn, their interactions with humanity throughout history, and Imran's theories about why these encounters may be receiving renewed attention today.In this episode, we explore:Could some UFO and UAP encounters actually involve Jinn?What is the connection between Dajjal, AI, and the modern UFO phenomenon?Why would Jinn pretend to be extraterrestrial beings?What does Islamic history tell us about encounters between humans and Jinn?Could reptilians, Bigfoot, and other mysterious creatures be connected to Jinn?Why are so many unexplained phenomena associated with the oceans?What do the Quran and Hadith say about Jinn, possession, and supernatural encounters?What can Muslims do to protect themselves from harmful encounters with Jinn?We also react to UFO footage, discussions involving Joe Rogan and Alex Jones, and claims about unidentified phenomena presented to the U.S. government.Are we witnessing something entirely new, or have these mysterious beings been interacting with humanity for thousands of years?Join us for a thought-provoking exploration of Islam, Jinn, UFOs, the unseen world, and the possibility that some of humanity's biggest mysteries may have ancient origins.This conversation explores Islamic beliefs, historical accounts, and speculative interpretations of unexplained phenomena. Claims connecting Jinn to UFOs or extraterrestrial encounters are theories, not established facts.JOIN OUR WEBSITE MEMBERSHIP! @https://www.patreon.com/c/theansaripodcastCheck out our sponors!*The Debt Clinic*: https://www.Thedebtclinic.com/ansariProvision Capital: https://www.provisioncapital.com/ansariManzil: https://www.manzil.co/ansari*The Debt Clinic*: https://www.Thedebtclinic.com/ansariProvision Capital: https://www.provisioncapital.com/ansari00:00 - Intro00:26 - What got you into the subject of jinn?07:41 - Our Partners (Debt Clinic & Provision Capital)09:43 - Women in Trumps office17:45 - UAP's18:03 - reaction to videos23:14 - Nicki Minaj photos27:38 - Our Partners (Manzil)29:04 - Origins of fairytales30:51 - People that are incredible builders or divers41:40 - How normal it was to converse with Jinn in the past43:47 - Why do actions like sacrifices induce communication?47:35 - Does it degrade your spirituality?50:19 - Reptillians walking among us?56:19 - What do you think the link to the ocean is?59:05 - Alex Jones Video reaction1:09:00 - Point of contact1:27:17 - Closing Statements#Jinn #IslamicPodcast #UFOs #Dajjal #IslamicKnowledgeFollow The Ansari Podcast!Instagram: https://instagram.com/ansaripodcastTikTok: https://tiktok.com/@theansaripodcastTwitter/X : https://twitter.com/ansaripodcast

    Notes de l’épisode

    Why does it feel like nothing makes us happy anymore? Why are anxiety, depression, and addiction becoming such common struggles, and what role does our relationship with Allah play in our mental health? What is anxiety? What is addiction? What is depression?In this episode of The Ansari Podcast, we sit down with Dr. Fahad Khan to explore the intersection of Islamic psychology, conventional psychology, and mental health. We discuss how Islam approaches the human soul, the nature of our desires, and why understanding the spiritual dimensions of our struggles is essential to understanding ourselves.We explore the growing influence of pop psychology and the dangers of relying on social media for mental health advice, particularly when complex psychological issues are reduced to oversimplified explanations and trends. Dr. Fahad Khan also shares his perspective on how Islamic psychology complements conventional psychological practices and what he believes is missing from the modern conversation around mental health.The conversation dives deep into anxiety, depression, and addiction, examining the underlying issues that can drive people toward destructive behaviors. From drug addiction and pornography to the relationship between religiosity and substance abuse, we discuss why people turn to these behaviors, what they may be trying to escape, and how addressing the root causes is essential to meaningful recovery.We also explore the role of spirituality in maintaining mental health, the importance of understanding our desires, and how someone can approach recovery without simply treating the symptoms of their struggles. What does genuine healing look like? How can someone overcome addiction without falling back into old patterns? And what does Islam teach us about finding fulfillment in a world where so many people feel increasingly disconnected and unsatisfied?Whether you're struggling with your own mental health, trying to better understand addiction, or interested in how Islamic teachings can inform our approach to psychology, this conversation offers a deeper perspective on the connection between faith, the soul, and the human mind.JOIN OUR WEBSITE MEMBERSHIP! @ https://www.patreon.com/c/theansaripodcastCheck out our sponors!*The Debt Clinic*: https://www.Thedebtclinic.com/ansariProvision Capital: https://www.provisioncapital.com/ansari00:00 Intro00:27 Tiktok psychology05:21 Islamic psychology08:48 Our Partners10:25 History of Islamic psychology15:26 Why did Allah create addictions?19:26 What's happening when we desire something?25:00 After drugs..can you ever be happy again?32:13 More loneliness, drugs, porn & food38:42 Religious people who are addicts44:48 Are addicts sick people?48:13 What is depression and anxiety?51:18 The real reason people use drugs54:38 Secretly struggling with addiction?01:00:35 The goal of addiction recovery01:03:19 Are you a sex addict?01:05:00 They watched porn for 6 hrs/day01:14:44 Can someone become untreatable?1:17:40 Closing Statements#islamicpsychology #mentalhealth #anxietyanddepression #mentalhealthpodcast Listen on All Audio Platforms: https://tr.ee/JeX-ILYSyjFollow The Ansari Podcast:Instagram: https://instagram.com/ansaripodcastTikTok: https://tiktok.com/@theansaripodcastTwitter/X : https://twitter.com/ansaripodcast

    Should you keep fighting for your marriage, or is it time to walk away?When a marriage becomes difficult, it can be hard to know whether you're going through a rough patch or facing deeper problems that cannot be ignored. How do you know if your marriage is worth saving? When is enough enough? And what does Islam teach us about when to stay and when to leave?In this episode of The Ansari Podcast, we sit down with marriage expert Imam Bilal Dannoun to discuss one of the most difficult questions a person can face: How do you know if it's time to end your marriage?We explore the difference between normal marital struggles and serious relationship issues, how to recognize unhealthy patterns, when a marriage can be repaired, and when separation or divorce may be the right decision. We also discuss the role of Islam in navigating marital conflict, the responsibilities of both spouses, and how to approach these life-changing decisions with clarity, wisdom, and faith.Whether you're struggling in your own marriage, questioning your future together, or trying to understand what makes a marriage healthy, this conversation offers valuable insight into the realities of marriage and the difficult decisions that can come with it.JOIN OUR WEBSITE MEMBERSHIP! @ https://ansaripodcast.com/Thank You for Your Support!*The Debt Clinic*: https://www.Thedebtclinic.com/ansariProvision Capital: https://www.provisioncapital.com00:00 Intro00:38 Which Gender is Usually the Issue in a Relationship?02:32 Have men historically been the problem in relationships?04:00 Self Awareness and Growth Mindset is important for men11:13 Our Partners12:50 What do you need to get through the first year of marriage?14:45 Whats the strangest scenario you've seen in a couple?18:03 How does one who is secretly addicted to porn within their marriage resolve that issue?24:40 Are we seeing an increase or decrease in divorce?26:07 What if you're no longer in love with your spouse?30:08 How does one distinguish what their situation is in the marriage?33:16 How do you deal with emotional maturity?56:04 What does emotional abuse look like in the islamic lens?57:07 What are the red flags women should look out for in men before marriage?59:44 Staying in a marriage because of social pressure01:01:22 What's the first thing you try to understand when someone reaches out for divorce?01:09:38 Reasons for Divorce01:14:37 At what point does it make sense to get at divorce?01:16:20 Have you recommended a couple get divorced?01:24:26 What is the practical thing to do before making a final decision on divorce?01:30:34 Does Allah give marriage or divorce advice?01:37:18 What do you want everyone to know about getting married?01:40:36 Outro#MarriageAdvice #DivorceInIslam #IslamicMarriage #MarriageProblems #relationshipadvice Listen on All Audio Platforms: https://tr.ee/JeX-ILYSyjFollow The Ansari Podcast:Instagram: https://instagram.com/ansaripodcastTikTok: https://tiktok.com/@theansaripodcastTwitter/X : https://twitter.com/ansaripodcast

    Notes de l’épisode

    What happens when you achieve everything the modern world tells you to want, success, wealth, freedom, and comfort, but still feel like something is missing?In this episode of The Ansari Podcast, Thomas Defilit shares his journey from European culture and the Western lifestyle to embracing Islam. His search for truth, happiness, and purpose led him to question everything he once believed about success and what makes life meaningful.Why are so many people in the West struggling to find purpose despite unprecedented material comfort? What does Islam offer that modern society cannot? And what can Muslims learn from the West while rebuilding their own civilization?Thomas and Ansari explore the spiritual emptiness of modern life, European culture, the search for God, ambition, burnout, Muslim identity, and the role of faith in finding lasting fulfillment.We also discuss the mindsets holding Muslims back, what Muslim societies can learn from Europe's achievements, and how a new generation can use its talents to contribute to the revival of Muslim civilization.A powerful conversation about converting to Islam, finding your purpose, and discovering what truly matters in life.

    What happens to Islam when machines become smarter than us?In this episode of The Ansari Podcast, Professor Shoaib Ahmed Malik explores how artificial intelligence could challenge the way Muslims understand consciousness, the soul, human uniqueness, Islamic scholarship, fiqh, and even the Qur’an.Could AI ever become conscious? If it did, would Islam have to rethink it's positioning at all?What happens when AI can give Islamic advice, retrieve hadith, compare legal opinions, and potentially outperform the average Muslim scholar in certain tasks? Who controls the Ai systems that future Muslims and muftis may rely on?We also explore one of the most provocative questions of the episode: Could AI produce something like the Qur’an? What actually makes the Qur’an miraculous, and is there an objective standard for its inimitability?This conversation goes far beyond technology. It is about the future of Islam, religious authority, human identity, and what AI may force us to reconsider about ourselves.

    How does power actually work in Washington....and who really runs things?Isra Chaker has spent her career building campaigns around human rights, refugees, public policy, and social change. In this episode, she explains how influence actually works behind the scenes in DC. Hav eyou heard of the mechanics of power in Washington DC like: "stakeholder mapping, campaign strategy, and coalition building" , then you don't know how to navigate American politics yet. Isra also shares the story behind one of the most unusual campaigns of her career: renting Donald Trump’s childhood home , turning the house into a global campaign.We also discuss her experience working inside major human-rights organizations, including the conversations and advocacy surrounding Amnesty International’s position on Gaza, and what happens behind the scenes before an organization makes a major public determination.Beyond politics and advocacy, Isra opens up about facing Islamophobia growing up, how those experiences shaped her path, and why she describes herself as a social architect, someone focused on building long-term influence, institutions, and relationships.We also talk about her work with Every Mother, a coalition working to raise millions of dollars to support mothers and babies around the world, and how her own difficult pregnancy made that mission deeply personal.JOIN OUR WEBSITE MEMBERSHIP! @ https://ansaripodcast.comThank You for Your Support!*The Debt Clinic*: https://www.Thedebtclinic.com/ansari*Provision Capital:* https://www.provisioncapital.com

    Notes de l’épisode

    Would the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ use our modern financial system?In this powerful conversation, we explore a much bigger question than whether a Muslim can take out a mortgage in America: Would the Prophet ﷺ have accepted an economic system built around fiat currency, debt, and interest — or would he have worked to build an alternative?We break down the European Fiqh Council’s fatwa on conventional mortgages, the difference between the Prophet’s ﷺ approach in Mecca and Medina, and why establishing an independent Muslim marketplace became such an important priority after the Hijrah.The conversation then expands beyond mortgages into the foundations of Islamic economics and Islamic banking. What would a genuinely interest-free financial system look like? Can Muslims build alternatives to conventional banks? What role should gold and silver play in protecting wealth from inflation? And how should Muslim families think about debt, riba, home ownership, saving, and long-term financial planning?At the heart of the discussion is a larger question: instead of only asking how Muslims can function inside the existing financial system, should the Ummah be building institutions of its own?Whether you're thinking about a halal mortgage, conventional mortgage, Islamic home financing, riba, fiat currency, gold and silver, Islamic banking, or the future of Muslim economic independence, this conversation challenges us to rethink what a truly Islamic financial system could look like.Watch the Full Episode here: https://youtu.be/ou2GZyWLi8ESupport The Ansari Podcast: ⁠⁠https://www.patreon.com/ansaripodcastMain Channel for Full Episodes: ⁨@TheAnsaripodcast⁩Follow The Ansari Podcast:Instagram: https://instagram.com/ansaripodcastTikTok: https://tiktok.com/@theansaripodcastTwitter/X: https://twitter.com/ansaripodcast#Islamicfinance #Islamicbanking #HalalMortgage #FiatCurrency #prophetmuhammad #wealth #finance

    Notes de l’épisode

    Does evolution disprove Islam? Was Adam the father of all humans or all hominids? And can the theory of evolution be reconciled with the Qur’an and Islam? In this episode of The Ansari Podcast, Dr. Shoaib Malik, Lecturer in Science and Religion at the University of Edinburgh, joins us to explore Islam and evolution, human origins, Prophet Adam, Darwinian evolution, and the relationship between science and religion and science and Islam. We ask some of the biggest questions surrounding Islam, evolution, and the origin of humanity: Where did human beings come from? What exactly does modern evolutionary science tell us about our ancestry? Were there human-like creatures before Adam? Was Adam biologically related to other hominids? And does accepting evolution conflict with the Qur’an?Dr. Shoaib Malik explains his theory of Adamic Exceptionalism, a framework for understanding Adam within the scientific evidence for human evolution while preserving the theological significance of Adam in Islam. Also...are humans related to monkeys or apes?From Al-Ghazali and Islamic philosophy to genetics, common ancestry, apes, hominids, and endogenous retroviruses (ERVs), we explore where Islamic theology and evolutionary biology overlap — and where the limits of science may begin.We also discuss whether believing in evolution is haram, whether there can be such a thing as “Islamic science,” the relationship between humans and jinn, historical Islamic discussions surrounding the Queen of Sheba, and some of the stranger questions surrounding human origins.Can Muslims accept evolution?Did humans evolve from apes?Were there other human species before Adam?Was Adam the first Homo sapiens?Can the Qur’an and modern science both be true?This is a conversation about Islam and science, evolution and religion, Adam and Eve, human evolution, Islamic theology, the Qur’an, genetics, anthropology, and the origins of mankind.JOIN OUR WEBSITE MEMBERSHIP! @ https://ansaripodcast.comThank You for Your Support!*The Debt Clinic*: https://www.Thedebtclinic.com/ansari*Provision Capital:* https://www.provisioncapital.com00:00 Intro01:59 Is There Anything in Science that Says God Doesn't Exist?05:24 Ghazali & Evolution?07:29 Our Partners09:02 Is Believing in Evolution Haram?18:30 Islam and Evolution Don't Disagree29:37 Humans Have Married Jinn?35:39 Was Queen of Sheba Half Jinn?!38:51 Humans, Apes & Jinn47:04 What Type of Human Was Adam?54:53 DEBATE: Is There Such Thing as "Islamic Science"?01:06:28 Final Thoughts01:07:37 Part 2 Sneak Peek*Listen on All Audio Platforms:* https://tr.ee/JeX-ILYSyj*Follow The Ansari Podcast**Instagram:* https://instagram.com/ansaripodcast*TikTok:* https://tiktok.com/@theansaripodcast*Twitter/X:* https://twitter.com/ansaripodcast#Islam #science #Evolution #Jinn #Adam

    What if changing your life starts with changing what’s happening within you?If you’re anxious about your future—worried about your job, school, finding a spouse, money, or whether your life is going in the right direction—this conversation is for you.We’re joined by Muhammad Ubaidy to explore how Islam can change the way we understand ourselves, our struggles, and the future we’re so often afraid of.We talk about the Quran, the nafs, self-awareness, sin, spiritual discipline, rizq, dua, destiny, and what it means to truly trust Allah. Muhammad explains why we aren’t simply our thoughts, how our past can shape the way we experience life, and how hardship can become part of our spiritual transformation.What do you do when you’ve made dua but feel like nothing is changing? How do you stop overthinking your future? Can you change your destiny? What does it actually mean to have tawakkul and trust that Allah has a plan for you?We also explore the stories of the Prophets and how their lives can help us understand the different states we experience within ourselves.If you’re struggling with anxiety, uncertainty, your faith, your purpose, or fear about what’s coming next, this episode offers a deeper Islamic perspective on finding peace, strengthening your relationship with Allah, and learning to trust what you cannot yet see.JOIN OUR WEBSITE MEMBERSHIP! @ https://ansaripodcast.comThank You for Your Support!*The Debt Clinic*: https://www.mydebtclinic.com/ansari*Provision Capital:* https://www.provisioncapital.com00:00 The Quran Rewires Your Subconscious11:52 Our Partners13:26 Change what’s within…21:12 Can You Convince Allah to Change Your Destiny?30:20 Can You Speak Things into Existence?40:27 How do You Live with yourself when so Sinful?49:25 What if You've Made Dua but Lost Hope?58:46 What if Your past comes to chase you?01:01:50 Final Thoughts01:02:24 Speed Round Questions01:07:01 Connecting to Quranic Dua01:15:30 Outro#spirituality #islam #motivation #quran #selfimprovement #subconsciousreprogramming #tawakkul #innergrowth #wealth #rizq #islamicmotivation *Listen on All Audio Platforms:* https://tr.ee/JeX-ILYSyj*Follow The Ansari Podcast**Instagram:* https://instagram.com/ansaripodcast*TikTok:* https://tiktok.com/@theansaripodcast*Twitter/X:* https://twitter.com/ansaripodcast

    Together, we discuss winning beyond your political base, navigating Washington in the era of Trump, and creating meaningful change in a system shaped by powerful interests. Abdul also shares his perspective on Muslim representation and rising anti-Muslim rhetoric in American politics.
    Can a new kind of politics bring people together across America’s growing divides?

    What happens when you stop imagining yourself in the future?
    In this episode of The Ansari Podcast, we explore Islamofuturism and the role of science fiction in shaping how Muslims imagine their faith, identity, and place in the future with Ahmed Elbenni. We discuss the influence of Dune, anime, Gulf futurism, and even aliens and the cosmos, while asking why Islam is so often presented in binary terms despite the breadth of its intellectual and spiritual tradition.
    We explore what an Islamic science fiction could look like and what happens when people are unable to write themselves into the future. Because when you cannot imagine yourself in the future, do you risk disappearing from it?

    Notes de l’épisode

    In this episode of The Ansari Podcast, we are joined by Hassan Muzzad to explore one of the most significant and misunderstood chapters in Islamic history: the origins of the Sunni–Shia divide.

    Together, we examine the leadership of Abu Bakr and Ali, the role of the Companions, the tragedy of Karbala, and why the Battle of the Camel may have been the defining moment that transformed political disagreement into a lasting division. Exploring both Sunni and Shia perspectives with nuance and respect, this conversation asks an enduring question: Was the Sunni–Shia split inevitable, or did history take a path that changed the Muslim world forever?

    In this episode, we are joined by a leading businesswoman and marketer Sarah Su who has worked with some of the world's biggest companies to exploring the unexpected journey that led her to Islam. Together, we discuss growing up in an atheist culture, the search for meaning beyond professional success, life as a Muslim in China, and how Islam challenged everything she thought she knew about purpose, identity, and healing. After achieving the career so many aspire to, she discovered that success alone couldn't answer life's deepest questions.

    Why do so many Muslims feel intellectually insecure today?


    In this episode, we are joined again by Ustadh Saad Yacoob to explore how the history of debate in the Muslim world, from the influence of Aristotle to the impact of colonialism, has shaped the way Muslims think, argue, and understand their faith today.
    Together, we discuss righteousness, justice, revelation, the thought of Muhammad Iqbal, and why the modern culture of debate may reveal a deeper crisis: many Muslims have come to defend Islam on someone else's terms rather than their own.


    Has modern debate brought Muslims closer to the truth? … or further away from it?

    British Muslims are often spoken about as outsiders, immigrants, or a “problem” Britain must manage.But what if the history of Islam in Britain tells a much deeper story?In this episode of The Ansari Podcast, we sit down with Paul Williams of Blogging Theology to explore the untold history of British Muslims — from early Muslim presence in the UK, to the hundreds of thousands of Muslims who fought for the British Empire, to the postwar workers from Pakistan, India, Bangladesh, and other former colonies who helped rebuild modern Britain through factories, mills, transport, the NHS, small businesses, mosques, and working-class communities.We discuss Islam in the UK, British identity, post-Christian Britain, immigration, anti-Muslim panic, Tommy Robinson, Christian nationalism, the Pakistani grooming gangs scandal, poverty among UK Muslims, Palestine, Israel, Zionism, and whether Britain is facing a deeper spiritual crisis than it wants to admit.British Muslims did not build Britain alone.

    Notes de l’épisode

    Why is the Democratic establishment terrified of Abdul El-Sayed winning Michigan? What does a senator funded by individual donors do differently than one answering to lobbyists? How will a Muslim candidate survive the attacks awaiting him in the Senate? When you have $2.3M in foreign PAC money flooding a primary, can real grassroots politics still win? And what happens to progressive policy when you're facing both parties in Congress?


    Join us for a conversation with Michigan's most controversial senatorial candidate. We break down why James Carville and Democratic insiders are actively working to keep him out. Abdul walks us through his entire platform: removing lobbyists, Medicare for All in Michigan, and actually representing working people instead of corporate interests. We dive into his controversial decision to campaign with Hasan Piker, the viral moment he called out Haley Stevens' funding on stage, what it means to be the first Muslim Senator in American history, and the unfiltered answer every voter needs to hear about how to actually win in a rigged system.


    This isn't polished politics. This is what happens when a candidate refuses to play the game.

    Islam is spreading across East Asia — and the rise of Muslims in China, Taiwan, Japan, and Korea could reshape the future of the Muslim world. As China becomes a global superpower and the West declines in influence, Muslim immigrants, converts, and native East Asian Muslims may become one of the most important religious communities in a Chinese-dominated world order.In this episode of The Ansari Podcast, we sit down with Imam Abdullah Cheng, a Taiwanese Muslim imam and computer scientist from a convert background, to explore the future of Islam in China, Taiwan, Japan, and East Asia. We discuss the history of Islam in China, the difference between Uyghur Muslims and Hui Muslims, Hui Muslim cuisine and culture, Islam in Taiwan, dawah in China, Korea, and Japan, and why more East Asians are becoming interested in Islam.We also explore the rise of Islam in Japan, Japan’s masculinity crisis, declining birthrates, loneliness, mental health, marriage collapse, and how Islam offers answers to young men and women searching for meaning. From anime and Eastern storytelling to Islamic dawah, Muslim identity, Chinese atheism, communism, and the treatment of Muslims in China, this conversation reveals why East Asia may become one of the most important frontiers for Islam in the 21st century.JOIN OUR WEBSITE MEMBERSHIP! @ https://ansaripodcast.com*The Debt Clinic*: https://www.mydebtclinic.com/ansari*Provision Capital:* https://www.provisioncapital.com00:00 What is Life Like For Muslims in Taiwan?05:02 The History of Islam in China08:20 Ad09:51 The Difference Between Uyghur and Hui Muslims12:42 Hui Muslim Cuisine and Culture21:35 The Future of Islam in China32:37 Muslims Becoming the Irish of China34:44 How Dawah is Done in China, Korea, and Japan37:24 Rise of Islam in Japan39:56 The Masculinity and Mental Health Crisis in Japan48:57 Why is Islam Rising Quickly in Japan vs Taiwan51:32 How Muslims Could Use The Power of Anime01:03:00 Ad01:03:30 What is Actually Happening to Muslims in China?01:09:54 Chinese Atheist Communists Worse than Western Powers?01:16:18 Final Thoughts#China #Japan #muslim #podcast #chinesemuslim #japanesemuslim #chinesefood #japaneseculture #islam #dawah *Listen on All Audio Platforms:* https://tr.ee/JeX-ILYSyj*Follow The Ansari Podcast**Instagram:* https://instagram.com/ansaripodcast*TikTok:* https://tiktok.com/@theansaripodcast*Twitter/X:* https://twitter.com/ansaripodcast

    The FIFA World Cup is one of the last events on Earth that can bring billions of people together around a shared experience. Yet as the 2026 World Cup approaches, many fans are asking a difficult question: How safe is the United States? Can we afford these tickets and hotel prices?Dr. Jules Boykoff political scientist, former U.S. Men's National Team player, and author of Red Card: The 2026 World Cup, Sportswashing, and the FIFA Greed Machine joins us to examine the growing tcorruption between FIFA World Cup and the powerful people that control it.Why was Russia was banned while Israel remains in international competition? Gianni Infantino's increasingly close relationship with Donald Trump, and why some World Cup tickets now cost more than $1,000 per match. We also explore concerns surrounding ICE enforcement near stadiums, expanding surveillance technologies, and what hosting the tournament could mean for America's reputation on the world stage.But this conversation isn't about hating soccer. It's about protecting what makes the World Cup special in the first place. Can fans celebrate the beautiful game while holding its leaders accountable? And what would an ideal World Cup actually look like?Whether you're a lifelong football supporter or someone curious about the politics shaping global sports, this conversation will change how you view the biggest tournament on Earth.JOIN OUR WEBSITE MEMBERSHIP! @ https://ansaripodcast.comOR Our Patreon!https://www.patreon.com/cw/theansaripodcast*The Debt Clinic*: https://www.mydebtclinic.com/ansari*Provision Capital:* https://www.provisioncapital.com00:00 Why Criticize FIFA?04:46 Was FIFA Less Corrupt in the Past?06:56 Ad08:27 Will the World Cup Wreck America's Reputation?12:35 Russia Banned but not Israel? 17:00 Trump's Fake FIFA "Peace Prize"20:37 World Cup Crazy Ticket Prices!23:37 New York Ticket Prices: Is Mamdani a Wizard?26:30 Gianni Infantino: Who Actually is FIFA's President?30:53 Ad31:38 ICE Immigration & The 2026 World Cup Fears38:13 The World Cup Increases Surveillance?41:49 Top Teams & Best Players to Watch!53:44 Middle Eastern Teams!54:43 Balancing Celebration and Criticism57:55 What Would an Ideal World Cup Look Like?01:03:06 Final Thoughts#WorldCup2026 #FIFA #Trump #israel #worldcup *Listen on All Audio Platforms:* https://tr.ee/JeX-ILYSyj*Follow The Ansari Podcast**Instagram:* https://instagram.com/ansaripodcast*TikTok:* https://tiktok.com/@theansaripodcast*Twitter/X:* https://twitter.com/ansaripodcast

    Notes de l’épisode

    Mufti Hussain Kamani is one of the most respected Islamic scholars in America, a qualified Mufti and jurist authorized to issue fatwa, and the former Director of Qalam Seminary joins Ansari on The Ansari Podcast for a powerful conversation on Dajjal, the Antichrist, Surah Al-Kahf, anger, fitna, materialism, and how Muslims can protect their iman in the end times.The world feels angrier, more distracted, more divided, and more spiritually numb than ever before. Is this just the result of politics, social media, trauma, and modern life — or are we watching the stage quietly being set for the greatest deception mankind will ever face? Mufti Kamani explains why rage keeps rising, what happens when the intellect shuts down, how heedlessness destroys the heart, and why the warnings of the Quran and Sunnah feel so urgent in the age we are living through right now.In this deep-dive episode, Mufti Kamani breaks down the Islamic framework for understanding anger, the spiritual danger of ghaflah, the lessons of Surah Al-Kahf, the San Diego tragedy, the moral corruption of the “Epstein class,” and how runaway materialism, distraction, and dunya-worship are preparing people for the fitnah of Dajjal. We also discuss tazkiyah, purification of the heart, optimism in chaotic times, how to stay spiritually awake, and what it means to live with purpose when the modern world is designed to make you forget Allah.Mufti Kamani also opens up about why he left Qalam Seminary after more than a decade, what he is building next, his message to current and former Qalam students, and what it means to serve the Muslim Ummah in a time of confusion, corruption, and spiritual warfare.This conversation is about faith, anger, fear, deception, purpose, and survival — for every Muslim trying to keep their heart alive in the modern age.JOIN OUR WEBSITE MEMBERSHIP! @ https://ansaripodcast.com*Join The Cosmos Club Newsletter:* https://www.ansaripodcast.com/cosmos-club*The Debt Clinic*: https://www.mydebtclinic.com/ansari*Provision Capital:* https://www.provisioncapital.com00:00 Join Our Community!01:20 Dajjal is Near, the World is Full of Anger07:56 We're Being Attacked from All Sides14:36 What if you have too much anger?16:06 Ad18:07 The Deception of the Antichrist25:22 How Vulnerable are We to the AntiChrist?30:52 What's the Point if the AntiChrist is Coming soon?43:00 Ad43:45 What Does the Quran Say About Surviving?59:43 Purification of the Heart in Era of the Epstein Class01:07:56 How to Be Optimistic in This Chaotic World01:21:54 Why Mufti Kamani Left Qalam Seminary01:33:22 A Message to Qalam Students01:36:28 Member Questions!01:38:19 Speed Round Questions01:44:52 Outro#dajjal #antichrist #muftikamani #qalam #podcast #anger*Listen on All Audio Platforms:* https://tr.ee/JeX-ILYSyj*Follow The Ansari Podcast**Instagram:* https://instagram.com/ansaripodcast*TikTok:* https://tiktok.com/@theansaripodcast*Twitter/X:* https://twitter.com/ansaripodcast
