The Muslim Podcaster

On 29th April, a knife attack in Golders Green quickly became more than just an isolated incident. Labelled as terrorism and framed around antisemitism, it soon fed into a wider debate around pro-Palestinian protests and the phrase “global intifada.” In this episode, we unpack what actually happened, how the narrative developed, and why language is now at the centre of the conversation. Are politi...

The Iran war has dominated headlines — but beyond the question of who won, what does this actually mean for the Muslim world? In this episode of The Muslim Podcaster, I am joined by Rash and JK as we break down the outcome of the Iran conflict, the ceasefire, and the wider implications of what we’ve seen unfold. More importantly, the discussion turns to what this reveals about the current state of...

In this episode, I'm joined by brother Mahfuz, AKA Newsbaba, to break down the war in Iran, geopolitics in the Middle East, and what this conflict means for the US, Israel, and the wider world. Everyone is asking who wins this war… but that’s the wrong question. What happens if Iran is not defeated? We explore how Iran's survival of this conflict could shift the balance of power, affect global ene...

In this episode, I’m joined by my co-hosts, Rash and Kam, for a discussion about the unfolding conflict among Iran, the United States and "Israel".   Together, we examine the key questions surrounding the war: why the attacks on Iran took place now, what strategic interests may be driving the escalation, and what the potential consequences could be for the region and the wider world.   We also dis...

In this episode, I’m joined by Mahfuz Talukder (NewsBaba) to discuss geopolitics and why Muslim political awareness is essential if the Ummah wants to change its situation. We discuss what geopolitics actually is, why politics cannot be ignored, and why the Ummah cannot change its situation without understanding the global power structures shaping the world today. Are Muslims politically aware eno...

In this episode, I’m joined by Muttaqi Ismail from America, host of the Islamic History Podcast , for a wide-ranging discussion that begins with ICE and expands into something much bigger.   We explore how immigration enforcement reflects a deeper shift in American power — from the politics of fear at home to the collapse of global image abroad — touching on MAGA, US-Israel relations, and why Amer...

From Gaza to Venezuela, the mask has slipped. This episode exposes international law for what it is: a language of power, not justice. 🎙 The Muslim Podcaster — hosted by Majid Hussain   A podcast focused on clarity of thought, purpose, and accountability — examining how Muslims understand success, life, and Islam in a world shaped by the dunya.   This is not about chasing trends or commentary for...

As we enter a new year, Muslims—like everyone else—talk about success, goals, and prosperity. But what do we actually mean by success? And more importantly, does Islam define success the same way the dunya does?   In this episode, we unpack how success is commonly understood today—through wealth, status, careers, and achievement—and contrast that with how Allah (SWT) defines true success. This isn...

This was a live episode of The Muslim Podcaster, where I was joined by Rash and JK to break down two major developments: the UN backing Trump’s so-called Gaza plan and MBS signalling that Saudi Arabia is ready to join the Abraham Accords. In the middle of an ongoing genocide, global powers are already shaping the “post-war” order on Zionist terms — rewarding “Israel” while Gaza is still being star...

Sudan is being torn apart while the world looks the other way. Entire cities have fallen, civilians are being massacred, and yet the global silence is deafening. In this episode, I break down what’s really happening — the parts they don’t want to talk about. The foreign hands involved, the role of the UAE, the silent blessing of Western powers, and how “Israel’s” long-term regional strategy fits p...

They’re calling it “peace in the Middle East.” Trump’s new 20-point “peace plan” for Gaza promises stability, prosperity, and reconstruction — but what it really offers is disarmament, foreign control, and the end of resistance. In this episode of The Muslim Podcaster, I am joined by Rash and JK to expose how this so-called plan is designed to finish what the occupation started — turning Gaza into...

Is the chaos in Gaza, Lebanon, Syria, and Iran just a coincidence — or part of a master plan? In this explosive episode, I’m joined by Kam as we break down the Abraham Alliance, the collapse of regimes across the region, and the strategic reset that’s reshaping the Middle East. We unpack the Oded Yinon Plan, the role of the US-"Israel” alliance, and the shift from the Abraham Accords to the Abraha...

Everyone’s talking about this so-called war between Iran and “Israel” — but I had to ask the real question: is this war even about Iran? In this episode, I’m joined by JK as we break down what’s really going on. Is this a genuine conflict — or just another distraction? A managed escalation designed to crush resistance and cement “Israel’s” dominance in the region? We also dig into why the US is so...

We’re often told that Ramadan is about personal spirituality, seclusion, and self-improvement—but history tells a different story. The Battle of Badr, the Conquest of Makkah, and the liberation of Jerusalem all happened in Ramadan. It was a month that galvanised the Ummah, not one where Muslims disconnected from their responsibilities. So how did we go from a month of victory to a month of fatigue...

Trump has proposed that the US should “own” Gaza and that Palestinians should be forcibly resettled in Jordan and Egypt. Meanwhile, “Israel” is accelerating its annexation of the West Bank, attacks on Al-Aqsa are escalating, and Saudi normalisation with “Israel” is still on the table. I’m joined by Muttaqi Ismail, an American Muslim and host of the Islamic History Podcast, to get his take on Trump...

In this episode, I’m joined by co-hosts Rash and JK as we dive into the controversial and often misunderstood issue of grooming gangs in the UK. We unpack the scapegoating of Muslims, explore the political and media narratives driving this agenda, and confront the deeper societal problems—rampant sexualisation, broken family structures, and systemic failures—that are being ignored. Join us as we s...

In this special end-of-year review, I’m joined by Ustad Hema Luqman to reflect on the pivotal events of 2024 that have shaped the Ummah. Our discussion centres on the genocide in Gaza and the downfall of the Assad regime in Syria, using these critical events to examine the broader challenges facing the Muslim world. We also look ahead to the key issues the Ummah must prepare for in 2025. This is a...

Welcome to the first episode of “The Muslim Podcaster Reacts” series!   In this episode, I’m joined by JK as we dive into the BBC’s interview with HTS leader Al-Jolani. From loaded questions about the Caliphate to blatant bias against Islamic governance, we expose the double standards and hypocrisy of Western narratives. Listen as we break down the interview and uncover the truth about Islam’s app...

In this episode, I’m joined by JK and Abdul Ahad to dive into the recent seismic shift in Syria—the fall of Bashar Al Assad and the Syrian rebels taking control. While some celebrate this as a long-overdue victory against tyranny, others argue it’s a devastating blow to the Palestinian cause, with the real beneficiaries being “Israel” and America. We tackle two burning questions fueling the fierce...

In this episode, Brother Abdul Ahad from Canada joins me as we delve into the ICC’s arrest warrant for Netanyahu and Gallant. Is this a bold step toward justice, or just another hollow gesture by the international community? Together, we explore the roots of international law, its biases and hypocrisies, and its challenges for the Muslim world. Don’t miss this thought-provoking discussion on accou...

In this episode, I’m joined by co-hosts Rash and JK as we dive into the recent re-election of Donald Trump as US president and its implications for Gaza and the West Bank. Given Trump’s track record and his history of actions supporting “Israel,” we discuss what his win could mean for the region moving forward. We also address the recent riots in Amsterdam following the Ajax vs. Maccabi Tel Aviv m...

In this episode, I’m joined by Muttaqi Ismail, host of the Islamic History Podcast. As the US presidential election looms, we explore whether American Muslims face a dilemma in choosing between parties entangled in the ongoing genocide in Gaza. Are the Democrats – led by Kamala Harris – about to face a backlash for their complicity? Or does the alternative mean endorsing Trump, despite his legacy...

In this episode, I’m joined by co-hosts JK and Khairul as we reflect on the year since October 7th. We revisit the lies that were spread on that day—claims of 40 beheaded babies, mass rape, and more—used as propaganda to justify "Israel’s" brutal actions. We explore how these fabrications were weaponised to fuel an ongoing genocide in Gaza, which has now expanded to Lebanon. We also examine the re...

In this episode, I'm joined by Rash and JK as we unpack "Israel's" recent military operations in the West Bank, where specific refugee camps were targeted, civilian infrastructure destroyed, and large parts of the population left without necessities such as water. With 80% of Jenin's residents affected, these tactics mirror those used in Gaza. But why is "Israel" carrying out such ruthless attacks...

In Episode 92, I am joined by Hema Luqman to delve into the profound and often misunderstood concept of dua, particularly in the context of the ongoing genocide in Gaza. As ten months have passed and the bloodshed continues, many Muslims are grappling with questions about the effectiveness of their prayers: Why hasn't the genocide stopped? Is Allah (SWT) not hearing our pleas? We explore these dif...
