031 - Dr. Syed Hammad Ali
#GodIsLove #DeenOfEase #LoveInTheQuran #AkbarianPhilosophy #IbnArabi #Sufism
We welcome back to the Podcast Dr. Syed Hammad Ali from Canada! It was a joy to host him again after his last appearance on Season 2.
Dr. Syed successfully defended his PhD at the University of Calgary. Building on from our previous conversation, we spoke on the theme of love in the Qur'an, modern Muslims' deviation from this, with references to notable Islamic mystics such as ibn Arabi and Mullah Sadra. There was also a segment on the different Qiraat (recitations) of the Qur'an.
Mos was clearly outmatched in intellectual prowess, just like the last time, but there is a hint in this episode regarding his plans to mitigate that.
Be sure to drop Dr Syed an e-mail (he is willing to share his thoughts on all your platforms):

Not the easiest of topics.

The Importance of Change and Progression | Imam Mazhar Mahmood
Around this time last year, we released the 1st episode from Season 2 of Botswana's First Muslim Podcast, The Scholar and The Student, featuring Imam Mazhar Mahmood.
In this short clip, Imam goes over the importance of change and progression, particularly when it comes to religious interpretations. Rather than fear the backlash that may result from change, Imam Mazhar advocates for one to embrace the journey.

021 - Grounding With The Gambian | Momodou Taal
First off - it's surreal to think that we have more than 20 eps.
Second off, it's even more surreal to have Momodou Taal, an absolutely inspirational figure on our show.
Momodou Taal was born in The Gambia, but grew up in the UK. He completed his LLB from the University of East Anglia before travelling to Egypt to study the Islamic sciences at Al-Azhar Mosque, as well as other seminaries such as Markaz Imam Malik.
Currently he is focused on completing his studies before proceeding even further in a field which he is passionate about (we discuss that in the ep), while also actively running his own podcast, The Malcolm Effect, and campaigning against white supremacy and structural racism.
The conversation centred around almost all the aforementioned topics as well as our own journeys, and how we would like to make sense of things.

There are some historical claims which I (Mos) make but I may have misquoted something. This is addressed in the timestamps. Apologies in advance, corrections are welcome!

019 - Ramadan Special 2021 | Sheikh Ismail Kamdar
We interrupt our normal programme schedule to bring you a special episode leading up to the month of Ramadan 2021; do excuse any temporary discrepancies in the numbering of the episodes. It was a pleasure to welcome back to the show the most controversial guest of last season.
Sheikh Ismail Kamdar began his study of Islam at the age of thirteen. He has been actively involved in Islamic work since the age of sixteen. He has completed a seven-year Alim course in 2007 and a BA in Islamic Studies from the International Open University in 2014. He served as a senior lecturer, as well as the Faculty Manager of IOU from February 2010 until October 2020. He currently works as a research manager at Yaqeen Institute.
Over the past decade, Sheikh Ismail has served as a school teacher and administrator in multiple schools in South Africa and India. He has also delivered lectures and workshops in many locations locally and abroad and appeared on many Radio Stations across the country. He has also served as a Radio Presenter at Radio Al-Ansaar for several years, until November 2016.
In 2011, Sheikh Ismail discovered the importance of personal development and noticed a lack of Islamic literature dedicated to this field. After consuming dozens of books and courses on the topic, he decided to start this blog. The focus of this blog is articles and books related to the field of Islamic Self Help.
Sheikh Ismail is the author of Having Fun the Halal Way: Entertainment in Islam, Getting The Barakah: An Islamic Guide to Time Management, Best Of Creation: An Islamic Guide to Self-Confidence, and Homeschooling 101, among other titles.
The conversation centred around what a person can do in the lead up to Ramadan 2021, which will begin in a few days (or hours) from the time of this upload. We spoke about practical advice for laymen as well as those with underlying health conditions, Taraweeh prayer, as well as advice to non-Muslims who would also like to experience fasting in Ramadan,
017 - Tea Time with Teezy K | Tjisewa Kahuku
(... although we didn't actually have tea...)
We welcome back to the show Teezy K, who was (coincidentally?) on the 6th episode of last season.
We spoke on a range of subjects, from parents to how the pandemic has changed the landscape of the arts. We also briefly spoke about our relationships with God.
Tjisewa Kahuku was born in the village of Mahalapye, Botswana. He goes by the stage name, Teezy K, as a hip-hop artist. He is also an actor, comedian, host, creative writer and motivational speaker.
Contains some crass humour and language, but nothing would fetch it more than a TV-14 Rating.

016 - The Musical Muslim | Professor James Hodkinson
We welcome to the show Professor James Hodkinson of Warwick University to discuss a controversial topic we had previously glared over. Being a Muslim musician, we asked James about his own journey to Islam, how he kept on playing music even after embracing the faith as well as the arguments in favour of the permissibility of music from classical scholars. The discussion progressed to larger questions of identity as well as certain genres which may still be deemed taboo.
P.S.:- I used the word 'bastards' when translating the name of the band, The Kominas. Be wary if that bothers you, but I did not envision this podcast to be for kids anyway.
James Hodkinson is a UK-based academic, specialising in research into Islam in Germany. Following a year in Melbourne, Australia (2019-20) he now lives in Hertfordshire UK with his family and is a Professor at Warwick University. In 2019 he accepted Islam and became a Muslim.
James was born in Liverpool (1973) and has spent his live balancing his time between academic study, work and his other great passion – music. In 2015 he began a programme of public engagement work, that took him out from the university campus to work with Muslim communities across the UK, seeking ways in which his knowledge and experience could bring benefit to those communities. The close working and personal relations he formed had a profound impact on him; Islam ceased to be a merely academic interest and became his new faith: he made shahada in Liverpool in 2019 in the presence of Shaykh Ibrahim Osi Efa.
He lived in Melbourne, Australia with his family during 2019-20, where he was attached to Monash University, attended the Elsedeaq Mosque in Heidelberg and immersed himself in the Muslim community. Now back in the UK, he has resumed his work at Warwick University, where he again teaches German language and culture, but is responsible, too, for engaging with the wider public and bringing the university’s messages and work to less privileged commu
