The Ultimate Hack to Political Analysis with Sami Hamdi

Friday, August 15, 2025 • Duration 01:01:00

In the last 18 months, a new generation of youth have been activated as a response to the state of the Ummah, and more specifically the genocide in Gaza. Since October 7, the world has changed permanently at a very rapid pace, leaving many in this new generation of activists and beyond struggling to properly analyze the events that are happening. Especially in the age of fake news and media double standards, how can youth develop a correct sense for political analysis in a way that benefits the Ummah? With us we have expert political analyst Sami Hamdi to teach us his secret to political analysis.

I Saw It in 4K — But the NEWS Says It DIDN’T Happen | Mohammad Saleh

Saturday, August 23, 2025 • Duration 41:48

This episode features Mohammad Saleh, a young Palestinian journalist with Middle East Eye, whose fearless reporting challenges mainstream narratives and exposes the truths often hidden from public view.

He speaks about the incredible importance of journalism and why we must re-approach the conversation in a world dominated by outlets like CNN, BBC, Fox News, GB News, and others. We also discuss the urgent need for Muslims to become true experts in their fields— so skilled, knowledgeable, and beneficial that their voices cannot be ignored. We need to bring back the importance of Truth in our Journalism.

In this conversation, we explore:

- What it means to witness atrocities in real time, yet see them denied by major outlets.

- How social media journalism is reshaping the global information war.

- The power — and cost — of telling the truth as a Palestinian journalist.

- Why independent voices now reach millions, while traditional media struggles to maintain credibility.

This episode is dedicated to Anas Al Sharif (رحمه الله), his family, and all the courageous journalists and heroes of Gaza who risk — and sacrifice — their lives to keep the world informed.

Sunnis, Shias, and Salafi MAWLID? With Imam Tom Facchine

Thursday, June 25, 2026 • Duration 35:44

Is the Sunni–Shia Debate… FINALLY Over?

Sectarian divisions have long shaped Muslim discourse. But in an age of global crises and unprecedented pressure on the Ummah, the real question is this: how do Muslims today, and especially Muslim youth, navigate these differences while facing the realities of the modern world?

In this unflinching conversation, Imam Tom joins us to confront the questions that are too often left untouched:

• How do we approach the Sunni–Shia divide and broader intra-Muslim debates?

• Why is Imam Hussein (RA) so rarely spoken about in Sunni mosques? What do we lose by neglecting his martyrdom?

• Can Muslims confront the painful episodes of Islamic history with honesty and justice?

• Why do we invest more in interfaith dialogue than in intra-faith conversations?

• Who should we take knowledge from, and has the “don’t take from xyz scholar” discourse gone too far?

• Can we pursue a unity of purpose without agreeing on every detail?

At the heart of this discussion lies another crucial question: how do we interact across our differences in a way that does not compromise our Ummatic principle; love for the Sahabah, reverence for Ahlul Bayt, respect for the scholars, the pursuit of justice, and above all the call to Tawheed and love for the Messenger ﷺ?

From Sufi–Salafi debates, to the notion of a “Salafi Mawlid,” to the lighter question of whether chocolate from an “innovator” is really off-limits, this conversation blends seriousness with candid moments while always returning to the central concern: what kind of Ummah are we striving to build?

This is not simply another debate. It is a call to reflect deeply, to stand consistently on principle, and to imagine a stronger, more united Ummah in a divided world.

Meet the YOUNGEST American Politician Standing Up to Israel

Thursday, September 11, 2025 • Duration 27:38

In this episode, we sit down with Representative Munira Yasin Abdullahi, the youngest American politician ever elected to the Ohio House of Representatives, the first Muslim woman, and one of the first Somali Americans to serve in the state legislature.

Munira speaks boldly about the issues most politicians avoid:

• Why is American taxpayer money funding Israel while millions of Americans struggle at home?

• What does it mean to be a Muslim in politics today?

• Can the Democratic Party survive in the face of genocide?

• How do you become a poltiicain that DOESN't sell their values?

Along the way, we discuss Tucker Carlson, Candace Owens, Zohran Mamdani, AOC, and Bernie Sanders, and how they all reflect the shifting landscape of American politics.

From Gaza to Washington, from endless wars to domestic decay, this is a conversation about politics, power, and principle. And what it really means to answer to God while serving the people.

The Ummah has ABANDONED the Uyghurs and Gaza - With Guzelya Marisova

Wednesday, September 17, 2025 • Duration 36:49

The Ummah was afflicted by 2 occupations in 1948, the occupation of Palestine and the occupation of East Turkestan. Yet, the Ummah speaks very little about the Uyghur cause for their homeland, and the two causes have very clear parallels that we often overlook. How come we don't speak about the Uyghurs in the same framing as Palestine? We invited Guzelya Marisova, an Uyghur author and activist, to help us answer this question.

How to Get RICH as a Young Muslim

Wednesday, September 24, 2025 • Duration 41:50

In this episode of The Thinking Youth Podcast, we sit down with Shaykh Navaid Aziz, a Canadian Imam, scholar, and Director of Public Relations at the Islamic Information Society of Calgary and is with Yaqeen Institute. Known across the world for making classical Islamic knowledge accessible, Shaykh Navaid brings his experience as a community leader and teacher to help us understand money from an Islamic lens.

We talk about everything from building the ABCs of financial literacy, saving, budgeting, and investing, to understanding why the Sahabah like Uthman ibn Affan (RA) were wealthy and how they used their money for the Ummah. Shaykh Navaid also shares how Islamic finance can fight inequality, how to escape the modern rat race, and why money should always be a tool, not the ultimate goal.

If you’ve ever wondered whether wealth is a good or bad thing in Islam, how to avoid riba without falling behind, or what financial habits you need to build as a young Muslim, this conversation will give you both practical steps and spiritual perspective; including amazing duas that you don't want to miss!

How Kashmir EXPOSED India and Israel’s TWISTED Bromance

Wednesday, October 15, 2025 • Duration 01:01:55

We sat down with Dr. Muzzammil Ayyub Thakur — one of the world’s leading Kashmiri activists, historians, and freedom advocates.

The son of Dr. Ayub Thakur, one of the only people ever exiled by the Indian government, Dr. Muzzammil continues his father’s legacy — even after surviving a crazy assassination attempt on his life.

In this explosive conversation, we spoke about:

- How Kashmir exposed India and Israel’s weird relationship — and what it reveals about modern-day occupation

- The Pulwama attack (2019), the recent Pahalgam attack, and how they reshaped India–Pakistan tensions and what that REALLY means for the Kashmiri people

- Pakistan’s role in the Kashmiri freedom struggle and its global political ripple effects

- The use of pellet guns, torture, and mass detentions under Indian rule

- Gaza and Palestine — and why their struggle mirrors Kashmir’s

- The Modi–Netanyahu alliance and how both states share a playbook of repression, propaganda, and control

- And the ultimate question: what does liberation truly mean for Kashmir, for Palestine, and for the global Muslim Ummah?

This isn’t just politics, it’s resistance, legacy, and survival.

From Srinagar to Gaza, the struggle is one: faith, freedom, and the fight for dignity.

Is Politics REALLY a part of Islam? With Imam Tom Facchine

Wednesday, November 5, 2025 • Duration 20:54

Has anyone ever told you “don’t speak up about politics?” Has anyone told you “don’t bring religion into this?” Is secularism compatible with Islam? Can a Muslim truly separate their faith from politics?

In this episode of The Thinking Youth Podcast, Imam Tom Facchine explores where the secular mindset comes from, how it reshaped Muslim identity, and why many Muslims today feel pressured to keep Islam “private.”

We dive into:

• Why secularism insists religion stays out of politics

• How colonialism reshaped Muslim institutions

• The impact on Muslim youth and identity today

• What Islam actually says about governance, justice, and public life

If you’ve ever wondered whether Islam is just a personal belief, orr a holistic way of life, this conversation is for you.
