What happens when someone becomes muslim whilst they’re in a relationship with someone; such as being married, having a long term partner, or having a boyfriend or girlfriend?
This person could be someone they love very dearly and care for. They may have been with eachother for many years, or even have children together.
Does it mean that because one of them has become muslim and the other hasn’t, that eveything comes to an end?
The relationship’s over and they have to seperate or divorce?
Or can they still be together, living their lives as they did before?
This episode is based on Ibn Qayyim’s work ‘Ahkam Ahl al-Dhimma’ as well as religious verdicts of contemporary scholars.

What if a non-muslim relative dies, such as a parent, child, sibling, uncle or aunt?
Can a muslim attend their funeral?
What about the funeral procession, the burial, cremation or visiting the grave afterwards?
This episode is specifically regarding the funerals of non-muslim relatives and not other non-muslims (who aren’t relatives).
Following the funeral processions of non-muslim relatives, burying them or attending their burial are all matters that the great scholars of Islam have differed concerning.
This episode presents the evidences of the scholars who hold that it is allowed for a muslim to follow the funeral processions of non-muslim relatives, bury them or attend their burial.
There are also many muslim scholars who hold that all of these things are prohibited because they are all considered to be ‘honoring and revering’ non-muslims (إكرام) and manifestations of having allegiance to non-muslims and showing loyalty to them (موالاة) which Allah the most high has forbidden.
May Allah protect all the scholars of Islam and show mercy to those who have passed away.

Alcohol and other drug addictions, adultery and premarital relations, watching pornography, theft, violence, bad character traits like lying and backbiting as well as sicknesses of the heart like arrogance and envy can all be common practices for people before Islam and become serious demons to fight against when they become muslim.
And many of us may strive to cut these bad habits out of our lives, and are even able to stop doing them for a while, but sooner or later, we end up going back to them.
We know what we’re doing is wrong, but just can’t seem to stop doing it.
In this episode I speak about some of the ways in which we can overcome the bad habits we have and the sins we commit.

Upon accepting Islam, many reverts might want to learn more about their faith, but aren’t sure where to start or what to start learning about. They might also be encouraged to learn by other muslims but aren’t shown exactly how to do this.

When some people accept Islam, they might be quick to get involved in ‘dawah’ - ‘propagation’ and inviting others to Islam and encouraging people to follow them in their new way of life.
They also might start having religious discussions and debates with their friends, family, colleagues and other people they meet.
This can sometimes result in the new muslim being bombarded with questions they can’t answer or even escalate to arguments and confrontations.
And because the revert strongly believes that Islam is the truth and they want to defend it and not be ‘defeated’ in argument or remain silent when asked questions, they might be tempted to say things about Islam, without actually knowing whether it’s true or not or to say things they aren’t sure about.
In this episode I speak about what a muslim should do when they're asked questions they don't know the answer to.
