Welcome, Friends. Storytelling has the power to not only create connections but provide universal truths about ourselves and the world. When listening to this podcast, I ask that you honor these stories and the rawness, transparency, and vulnerability that they invoke. Invite them with an open heart and you will see that all stories share a universal message. I pray that each anecdote leaves you inspired to share as the Prophet (ﷺ) said, "It is also charity to utter a good word.” But more importantly, I pray that you allow yourself to find comfort in the good, wisdom in the hardship, and the courage to trust Allah.

episode 3: Dada, I Won’t Forget Who We Are
For too long the whole world, and particularly us as Muslims, have turned a blind eye to the horrific and brutal treatment of our Uyghur brothers and sisters. We must remember them, we must say their names, we must hear their stories - so today we bring you two. Subhi and Jewher were raised miles apart, but share one homeland - East Turkestan.
