In this episode of the After Maghrib Podcast, hosts Ahmed and Sayed Ali dive into the ongoing conflict in Gaza and Beirut, exploring how external forces are attempting to exploit sectarian divisions between Sunnis and Shias. They discuss the dangerous "divide and conquer" tactics being used to fracture the Muslim community, but emphasize how unity amongst Muslims has been a source of strength throughout history. By standing together, despite efforts to sow discord, the Muslim ummah remains resilient and powerful in the face of adversity. Tune in for a critical conversation on solidarity and resistance.

As the regional war wages on, we’ve seen assassinations and retaliations from state and non-state actors. This week, we’re joined by Br. Hassan al-Qadri to further understand a number of key points. This includes, the role of the Muslims in the west, Gaza one year on, maintaining conviction in Dua to Allah (swt), the arrival of Imam Mahdi, the Sunni-Shia dialogue, Arab state involvement, and how Muslim influencers have reacted to the war in Palestine and Lebanon. This episode is filled with emotion and vigour and is not to be missed.

Analysis of the situation in South Lebanon. In the past week, we’ve witnessed death and destruction in Lebanon, continuing a year of devastation in Gaza. This week, we’re joined by analyst and activist Sister Batool Subeiti. We’ll dedicate our time to discussing several key points: an overview of current affairs, the history and colonial nature of the occupying forces, the responsibilities of Muslims in both the East and West, and the inevitable arrival of Imam Mahdi. This is a necessary conversation, and we encourage you to hear it start to finish.

Have we truly understood the Sunnah of Rasul Allah (saww)? As hundreds of millions of Muslims worldwide celebrate the birth of Prophet Muhammad (pbuh), known as Mawlid al-Nabi, it's the perfect time to reflect. In this episode, we dive into the Shia understanding of his life and explore why the school of Ahlulbayt (as) is seen as the only path that fully honors the "mercy to mankind." We unpack the meaning behind his powerful titles, Al-Sadiq (the Truthful) and Al-Amin (the Trustworthy), share key life lessons from his Seerah, and discuss how we can all strive to be better Muslims by following the example of the perfect man, Prophet Muhammad (pbuh). Whether you're Sunni or Shia, there's something here for everyone!

Feeling lost or aimless is a common struggle among young Muslims in the West, who often grapple with complex identity, spiritual, and societal pressures. In this week’s discussion, we explore these feelings and the search for purpose through an Islamic perspective with our dear friend and guest, Br. Sadiq Damani. We delve into real-life challenges, red pill and self-help theories, and insights from the Quran and Hadith. This conversation is one of our most candid yet, and we’re excited to share it with you!

In this episode, we’re thrilled to host Sayed Abdullah al Nakeeb, a close friend of the podcast, as we explore the complex concept of "The Raj'ah" in Shiism. This belief, which involves resurrecting or returning to life after death to fight against, or join alongside Imam Mahdi (ajf), is both profound and delicate, often surrounded by taboo. We discuss how the Raj'ah relates to the "Ghayba" (the occultation of Imam Mahdi) and what it means for Shiite spirituality and eschatology. Don’t miss this deep dive into a topic that intersects faith, mystery, and the anticipation of the end times.

Looking back at the memories we made over the month of Muharram

Have we truly understood the life of Prophet Muhammad (pbuh)? In this episode, we explore the Seerah of Rasul Allah (saww) and how it differs from his Sunnah, the Quran, and the world of Hadith. Our esteemed guest, Sayed Ali Imran, joins us from Canada to discuss how the Seerah was compiled, examining why the Shia community should revive its study of it, while also reviewing several case studies on how the Muslim community can effectively implement lessons from the life of Prophet Muhammad (saww). This conversation is co-hosted by Brother Mohamed Ali from Jumah Nights.

What do we mean when we say Imam Hussain (as) saved Islam? In this episode, we are joined by the esteemed Sayed Mahdi Modarresi, who explores the unique relationship between Allah (swt) and Imam Hussain (as) in Karbala. We discuss the Godly concepts of Tawhid, reliance, and the special bond that enabled Imam Hussain (as) to fulfill his divine mission. The discussion also covers the importance of recognising the qualities of a true scholar, the significance of a Shia Muslim performing Salah, and the oppressive reign of Yazid and Muawiya. Be sure to tune into our 100th episode, co-hosted with brother Yasser Al-Hilfi, which is filled with wisdom, inspiration, and a mix of heartfelt and lighthearted moments.

Karbala and the events following can be viewed in several angles in ways affecting Shia Muslims and the general Muslim world. This week, Sheikh Mohamed Abbas Panju of Najaf joins us to discuss the following and more: the wilayah of Imam Hussain (as), the concept of Ulama-al-Abrar, sectarianism, the true meaning of Al-Islah, Palestine and life under Imam Al Mahdi (ajfs).

Ashura has occurred - now what? In this week’s episode, we’re joined by Br. Muntazir Jaffer, student of the Islamic seminaries. We reflect on the profound lessons learned from the day of Ashura, drawing deep connections between Imam Hussain's (as) sacrifice and the parallel teachings of the Holy Quran. We discuss how to implement Islam as a constant guiding force in our daily lives, ensuring that our actions and decisions are rooted in our faith. By exploring the ways in which Imam Hussain exemplified making the right decisions in Karbala through his unwavering connection to Allah (swt), our guest provides practical advice on how listeners can strengthen their own relationship with Allah (swt) through the Quran and emulate the virtues of Imam Hussain (as) in their own lives.

The mother of grief. The protector of Hussain (as). The student with no teacher. The one who fulfilled the task set by Ali (as) and Fatima (as). In this heart-wrenching episode, Sayed Abdullah al-Nakeeb returns to uncover the reality and secrets of Lady Zainab (as) and the magnitude of her role - before, during and after the Battle of Karbala. We understand Sayeda Zainab (as) in a lens unexplored before on our podcast, in the build up to the Day of Ashura - a day synonymous with martyrdom, sacrifice and faith.

What led Yazid to the undeniably atrocity that occured in Karbala and how were his acts even justified. Ahmed and Sayed Ali reflect on the story of Karbala as we enter this Holy Month and we should all reflect on our acts during these nights of Mourning.
