  • MuslimNerds #MuslimsandPopCulture #manga #art #muslimartist #MuslimManga #anime

    Toyin, Tobi and Elizabeth from the Religiously Nerdy Podcast graced our platform for the first post-Ramadan episode of 2023.Religiously Nerdy is determined to identify #spirituality in anime, manga, and pop culture. Their goal is to further build this community through exciting conversations via their blog, podcasts and videos.

    Elizabeth Howie (she/her/hers) is an obsessive anime and manga lover. Currently in school for her BA in English to be an editor. On her off days, she enjoys staying home and binge-watching anime and Korean dramas, gaming, listening to KPOP, and reading manga and both nonfiction and fiction novels. Elizabeth is a proud Muslim. She is also tired of balancing faith, being Black and being a nerd.

    Toyin Yusuf (she/her/hers) is a full-time nerd. At work she’s a software engineer in aerospace; at home she is a digital artist that geeks out on all things animation, manga, and comics. Toyin enjoys cosplaying, attending cons, video games, reading fantasy novels and expanding her pop culture knowledge. She is in fact a Muslim and a nerd.

    Tobi Yusuf (she/her/hers) is also a full-time nerd. She aspires to be a doctor one day and is also a huge weeb, Marvel fan, cosplayer, bookworm, casual gamer, and a visual novel coder. Her Islamic faith is also very important to her and she wants to see more Islamic representation, especially black Muslims, in the media.

    We spoke about our experiences watching anime, reading manga and engaging in pop culture whilst also navigating these spaces as Muslims.Be sure to check out their socials:

  • MalikiMadhab #MalikiFiqh #TheSchoolofMadinah #AmalAhlulMadinah #ramadan2023 #quran
    The Scholar and The Student goes back to its roots by getting a scholar on board. Moreover, it is a monumental occasion as Mos's own teacher, Sidi Muhammad Iqbal al-Maliki, agreed to grace the podcast with his presence.

    We spoke to Sidi about how he began his journey in learning, and then teaching, the School of Madinah (AKA the Madhab of Imam Malik bin Anas RA), as well as navigating contemporary rulings and understanding the basics of the Maliki madhab; much was discussed about 'Aml Ahlul Madinah (the actions of the people of Madinah).

    Be sure check out Sidi's written works on Medium:

    We apologise for the video quality (Mos's webcam keeps acting up) and the video stuttering at places - the Internet wasn't the best. Much effort has been made to clean up the video.

With floods in Malawi, the earthquakes that ravaged Pakistan, Afghanistan and surrounding areas as well as the one in Syria and Turkey, they are in more need of your money than myself.

    RATED 18+ - FOR MATURE AUDIENCES ONLY - EXPLICIT DISCUSSIONS ABOUT SEX

    Historian, Sex Educator and Chartered Accountant Habeeb Akande joined us for this loaded episode. Habeeb Akande is a British-Nigerian sex educator whose educational background also includes Al-Azhar High School in Egypt as well as the prestigious Al-Azhar University. He has published works spanning across multiple disciplines such as racism and erotology (the study of sex), including Illuminating The Darkness: Blacks and North Africans in Islam, A Taste of Honey: Sexuality and Erotology in Islam and Kunyaza: The Secret to Female Pleasure.

    We spoke about Habeeb's areas of expertise, focusing particularly on https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/sexualdiscipline, definitions of https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/masculinity and the differences of opinion in Islam. There are also some tidbits about the future of the podcast.

  • 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 Qiraat (different 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):

  • manga #art #muslimartist #MuslimManga #anime

    Lebanese-American Mangaka and long-time supporter of the Podcast, Kaito Lumiere, finally jumped on
    .
    Kaito has been drawing comics since he was 7 years old, from replicating the style of #dragonballz by #akiratoriyama to coming up with his own fan fictions. In High School, he started work on his first original work, Ghost and Spirit, which was only finished last year. He then began 'Sacrifice', which is currently ongoing. He holds a Bachelors of Science in Architecture and works as an assistant project manager in architecture by day before continuing his adventures as a mangaka by night.

    We spoke about his art, taking criticism, cancel culture, the effects of art and taking up hobbies as a full-time profession.

  • On the 1st July 2022, my teacher, friend and mentor, Shaykh Muhammad Alshareef, the founder of @TheDiscoverULife and @AlMaghrib Institute left this world to meet his Lord.

    Not the easiest of topics.

    Kindly remember him in your Du'as as well as his remaining family members.

  • Mana, Mana?

    It was an absolute pleasure having the influencer and travel vlogger, Mana (better known for her channel, PanAsian Goes Global), on Botswana's First Muslim Podcast.

    Mana, a.k.a PanAsian, is a Canadian born and bred Singaporean Malay Muslimah living in Tokyo. This is her second time living in Japan, and she has also lived in Korea before as well. Besides her full time job teaching, she has a YouTube Channel/Instagram account where she explores being Muslim in Japan. Her social media includes Mosques, prayer places, halal restaurants and the Muslim experience in Japan and beyond.

    Our conversation centred around the ease/difficulty of practising Islam in Japan vs. the rest of the world, what it's like to teach Japanese teens as well as origin stories on the names, 'PanAsian' and 'The Scholar and The Student'. We hope you'll enjoy the conversation as much as we did!

    Welcome Sanaa Asim, a British-Pakistani Muslimah who has a Masters in German and Arabic from the University of Oxford and is currently doing her post-grad in Digital Engineering at the University of the Arts, London. She also is really into Japanese culture. Like seriously.

  • SEASON PREMIERE

    That's right, we are back for Season 3!

    Our first guest hails all the way from Atlanta, Georgia, USA, a man of many talents - some of which are visible from the thumbnail - Thalib Razi.

    Thalib Razi is a world music singer songwriter who plays guitar, oud, violin, and piano, and is also a fantasy novelist. His music is inspired by cultures from all over the world as well as Islamic spirituality (also known as Sufism), and his writing is inspired by world history and the tropes of the high fantasy genre. He lives in Georgia, USA with his wife and son.

    The conversation centred around Thalib's musical endeavours, his journey as a musician as well as a write; his first novel, The Enchanter's Counsel, was just published!

  • Talk about ending off with a bang.
    Our final guest for this season is the one and only Celt Islam, hailing all the way from the UK.
    The only other full-length interview with Celt Islam after Mindtrap with Mufti Abu Layth :D
    Celt Islam is an English pioneering artist, producer and peace activist performing high octane Neuro Dub Driven Electro Punk BreakBeat Drum and Bass, transnational dubstep and Future Synthwave electronica with a twist of the Orient. Using a fusion of music which combines Islamic and world grooves to create a dub driven dance crossover. The unique sound of Celt Islam is a fusion of western and middle eastern influences combined with a futurist Islamic dub attitude. Open the doors of your mind and soul to Electro Sufism!
    Celt Islam has played at various Festivals in UK and Europe alongside Public Enemy's Bomb Squad { Hank Shocklee }, Youth, Don Letts , Eat Static, DJ UMB, The Orb, Hardfloor , Zion Train, Slamboree Gaudi , Engine Earz, DJ Bobby Friction, DJ Pathaan ,Inder Goldfinger { Ian Brown-Natacha Atlas-Apesta} Mick Reed { 1919 , Ship of fools and Nine Invisibles } , Oova Matique , Dr weevil [ Desert Storm/ DMC] , Peppery aka Bongo Chilli , D Bo General [ The Arsonist ] and DanMan { Iration Steppers }. Celt Islam was also chosen by the BBC to perform at the BBC Introducing stage Glastonbury 2010.
    Mos rekindled his punk identity and had a blast speaking to a kindred spirit. We spoke about faith, music, Sufism, LSD and everything in between. If this isn't controversial, we don't know what is.

  • We are back.
    This episode was initially envisioned as the season finale, but circumstances have forced us to make it the penultimate ep instead. Please welcome Dr. Syed Hammad Ali, who recently defended his PhD thesis at the University of Calgary. He is one of the many guests poached from Mindtrap with Mufti Abu Layth - in fact he will be going on again soon, which is why we need to compete!
    The conversation centred around sociology, Dr. Syed's chosen area of research, the multiplicity of Islamic interpretations, the role of the clergy as well as Dr. Syed's position that ibn 'Arabi's works are essential to navigate the current socio-economic climate as Muslims. Dr. Syed has authority to speak on these subjects as well, given his training at classical seminaries in Pakistan, which was also discussed in the ep.

  • 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.

    With regards to the claim of Mandela seeking refuge in Botswana (at around 45:00), whilst I (Mos) do not have a source for this off the top off my head, it is known that other members of the ANC (designated 'criminals') did seek refuge in Botswana. Apologies in advance, for any inconsistencies, corrections are welcome!

  • It was an absolute joy hosting a guest who has been a supporter of The Scholar and The Student since its conceptual stages.
    Welcome Sheikh Ali Abdallah Mwimbe, Imam of Kanye to the show! The conversation centred around issues we both noted to be of importance in Botswana, such as the role of culture, casting away the cult-like mentality, the journey of a person of knowledge as well as a civil war that almost broke out in the Muslim community over KFC (yes that's a REAL issue!).
    Sheikh Ali Abdallah Mwimbe is a resident of Botswana who finished his memorization of the Qur’an and β€˜Alim course in Darul Uloom Zakariyya, South Africa. Shaykh Ali is the head Imam and evening Maktab teacher at and a high school Islamic Studies teacher at Forest Hill English Medium School. He is also pursuing his Bachelors of Education at the University of South Africa.
    Sheikh Ali currently works as a T.A. for Lubab Academy, and also conducts various short courses.

  • 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.
