Faith Circle Podcast

This week, as we continue Kitāb al-Fitan, we turn to a critical topic:Rebellion. Khurūj. Obedience to rulers. Voices are rising. Emotions are high.

When truth blurs, voices clash, and the world feels unsteady — where do you turn? We return to the timeless guidance of the Prophet ﷺ. Step into Imām al-Bukhārī’s Kitāb al-Fitan — where every narration cuts through the noise, anchoring you with clarity, conviction, and direction in times of trial.

CLOSEST CONNECTIONS FINALE‼️What if your entry into Jannah… was delayed—or even denied—because of how you treated those next door?🏘️The Prophet ﷺ emphasised good treatment of neighbours again and again… so much so that the Companions thought they would be given a share of inheritance! Yet today, we can live side by side for years, without knowing their names, their struggles, or their rights over...

In the next chapter of Adab al-Mufrad, we turn to one of the weightiest trusts Allah places in our hands: our children. Will your parenting be a means to Allah’s mercy? Or a neglected amanah you will be held to account for? Imam al-Bukhari begins with a powerful opening: the virtues of daughters. Discover how these teachings reshape an entire ummah’s understanding of girls and women. ❤️ A class fo...

Join us as we unpack the depth of silat ar-r...

In the wake of the recent tragedy in Bondi, and in recognition of the courage shown by Ahmed Al Ahmed, this khutba offers a moment of reflection during challenging times for all Australians.

Part 3 – Salahuddin👑 The Final Last week we learnt from Ustadh Zareef that to liberate our holy lands, each of us has a part to play 🌍✨. Our role begins with creating and fostering an environment that inspires the ummah—guiding and nurturing our future generations 🌱. After the Qadr of Allah ﷻ, Salahuddin did not liberate Al-Quds alone, but with an ummah that shared his vision. 🤝 And this week...

Ustadh Zareef will take us through a session aimed at the heart of what true revival looks like.👑 This time, we explore: • Fractured but Rebuilding: the ummah in Salahuddin’s youth - divided, strained, yet quietly preparing for a turning point. • Driven by Purpose: the sincerity and depth of those who shaped him and walked with him. • Cancel Culture? Would we have handed Salahuddin the reins of l...

How do we respond to the most recent ceasefire by drawing lessons from the Battle of the Trench and the Treaty of Hudaybiyyah? What does activism look like in Islam, and three guiding principles of sacred activism as we move forward in our efforts for a free Palestine

When injustice becomes constant, resistance must become louder. This week marks the 77th anniversary of the Nakba. As the genocide in Palestine continues with unbearable brutality, many are starting to feel numb. Outrage fades. The news becomes routine. But as the Ummah of the Prophet ﷺ, we cannot allow ourselves to grow used to this. This isn’t just a humanitarian crisis — it’s a spiritual test....

The world is a prison for the believer and paradise for a non-believer. As this series concludes, the finale *The Liberal Delusion* confronts the false and dangerous ideologies which have replaced divine truth with human delusion. The modern trinity of Agnosticism, Secular Humanism and Liberalism. The system presents us with a world without God, morality without revelation and politics without acc...
