The Muslim community in Australia needs change. 🗣️
Change for what? Change for the issues that plague our people - from our youth to our elderly.
Do we secure this change through a political voice? Why don't Muslims even participate in politics? Don't we need people to represent us properly in the political sphere? 🤔
We're joined by Brother Solaiman and Brother Sameer, two brothers who've stepped into the realm of Australian politics, rich with fervour to get the Muslim community the changes that it really needs. 🔥
Track their journey from MSA volunteers to councillors of Community Voice of Australia, and all the realisations that they had growing up to push them into involving themselves with local government, something many Muslims have never even considered. 🫵

How do we deal with the ups and downs of friendship? 🎻
The breakups, the need for boundaries, new relationships, the unknown - it can all be over whelming! 🌃
The world of sisterhood is an amazing one but many do not have access to or perhaps have even had negative experiences with, yet yearn for that connection, especially in a time of loneliness. Not to mention, that the digital portrayal of female friendships can be conflicting😔
Well, that's why, we have Umm Yoms, aka, sister Fatima Mohamed, in the house! 🏠
She is a community builder and YouTuber who looks at the importance of sisterhood and helps other sisters build their relationships by creating space for the sisters however she can 🚀
Sister Fatima gives us insight to her past experiences (🍵), as well as sharing her crazy journey with sisterhood, it's importance and how to really built your friendships to be those which are nourishing and built you, instead of break you
PS: She is the most fashionable niqabi known to humanity and is a modest fashion icon (so take notes if you need) 👚
Sit with us as we divulge into the highs and lows of sisterhood and the importance of creating a safe space for all the girls who want to get their Akhirah bag! 👜

Make an impact. Do what you love. Leave your legacy.
How many times have we heard this? 😥
Whilst our university years are one of our most formative years, they are undoubtedly, one of our most confusing.
We are surrounded by people on very different paths and seem like they are living “their dream” whilst we mull around over ours.🎻
Do we really need to always do what we love? What does it actually mean to leave a legacy? How did people who are thriving find their path? 🤔
Brother Kamal is a daee, motivational speaker and exceptional creative media creator whom you all might have seen on OnePath Network 🙌

😓 It can be tough being “different”
Especially living in the West, we can feel that our ‘Muslim-ness’ is under a microscope. 🔬
Different definitions of fun, different world views, different ways of living - it’s just…different.
And quite frankly, it can sometimes make us want to shy away or keep our Islam on the low so we don't feel singled out from the rest of our classmates.
But how do we deal with this conundrum? How do we deal with our Muslim-ness? How do we even become unapologetically Muslim? 🤔
Hear insights from none other than Brother Shoaib Hussain - aka. ‘The Sunnah Guy’!🙌
The Sunnah Guy is a public Islamic speaker, influencer, entrepreneur, film-maker and youth worker.🎥

🤔We've all thought about it...
Our socials are flooded with people hitting massive milestones, having an entire business at 18 and the list doesn't stop! 🚀
It can eat at us when we feel like we aren't 'doing enough', especially as university students who are trying to make sense of our lectures, fit in our sleep and family time, trying to navigate what we want to do in the future and all emotions that come with being a university student 🎢
🔮We hear our older brothers and sisters tell us that "the future is our youth" and that "we have imaginable potential".....
but what does really mean? what does that look like? how do we tap into our potential? 🔓
Hear and get inspired from none other than sister Raz Aziz 🙌

🔍Friends. We all have them….. or maybe we're seeking them.
Perhaps we're in the wrong crowds, perhaps we don't know where to find good mates, perhaps we want to foster stronger bonds with those around us 🤝

Sometimes it doesn't come that easy - so get your notebooks out as Imran and Hasibul take you through friendship 101.
Remember: If you want to go fast, then go alone but if you want to go far then go together - so who are YOUR friends? 👀
