🎙️ In this special podcast episode, we sit down with KG, a Japanese convert to Islam, to explore his incredible journey — from his early background and curiosity about religions to embracing Islam and navigating life as a Muslim in Japan.

We dive deep into fascinating topics: the challenges of the Muslim community, encounters with the Khawarij, being labeled a “Wahhabi,” the pursuit of Islamic knowledge, and the differences within Islam. KG also shares his thoughts on anime, Japanese traditions, the Yakuza, samurai, and ninjas, and how these cultural elements connect with identity and spirituality.

The conversation also touches on sensitive and eye-opening realities in Japan — from host clubs and the rise of prostitution to patriarchy, gender roles, and how Islamic manners and da’wah resonate in Japanese society.

This is a powerful episode for anyone interested in Islam in Japan, cultural intersections, and the deeper ideas behind anime, tradition, and spirituality.

In this thought-provoking episode, we dive deep into the most pressing issues facing Muslims today—from the meaning of Islam as an expansionist religion to the challenges of Da’wah, leadership, and modern extremism.

We explore who holds authority in Islam, the balance between offensive and defensive struggles, the rise of so-called “Muslim gangs”, and how racism, discrimination, and survival play out in Western contexts.

Our discussion also covers hot-button topics like the Khawarij mindset, social media content, the symbolism of the Arabic attire (Kandoorah), and controversial subjects such as marriage age in Islam, women traveling, men vs. women mistakes, and polygyny.

We further address politics, taxation, leadership in the UAE, defending Muslim lands, and the ultimate fruits of Da’wah, success, and religion in shaping a strong Muslim identity today.

In this podcast, Faris Al Hammadi speaks with Mark, a teacher who embraced Islam 10 years ago.

But his journey didn’t begin with debates or deep study…

It began with an experience.

While living and working in Ras Al Khaimah, Mark witnessed something that stayed with him — the way people treated him.

The kindness. The respect. The sincerity. The cultures. The environment

Coming from a different background, this contrast made him reflect deeply. And over time, that experience led him to Islam.

👉 It wasn’t arguments that changed him
👉 It was character, cultures & environment

This story is a powerful reminder that sometimes, the strongest message is shown through actions — not words.

In this powerful and deeply honest conversation, a British non-Muslim father shares why he made the life-changing decision to leave the UK and move his family to the UAE.
From growing up around alcohol, violence, and chaos in Britain… to finding peace, safety, and purpose in an Islamic country — this episode dives into modern society, fatherhood, faith, identity, and what truly matters in life.
We talk about:

Why he no longer wanted his children growing up in Britain
The hidden crisis facing families in the West
Why living in the UAE completely changed his perspective
The truth about Islam and Muslims vs what the media shows
Addiction, prison, mental health, and personal transformation
Why safety, values, and community matter more than money
Faith, purpose, masculinity, and raising children in today’s world
Why more non-Muslim families are choosing the UAE

He also opens up about his struggles with alcohol, anxiety, identity, and the journey that led him to rethink everything he believed about life, family, and religion.
This is more than a conversation about moving countries — it’s a conversation about meaning, protection, and finding peace in a world that feels increasingly lost.

Brother Abdullah returns to share one of the most emotional chapters of his life: his Hijrah journey after accepting Islam.

From leaving France to protect his family and Deen, to sleeping on the floor in Algeria, facing visa struggles, accusations, arrest, poverty, and extreme hardship — this is not just a travel story. It is a story of sacrifice, tawakkul, sabr, shukr, and choosing Islam over comfort.

Abdullah shares how Allah opened doors at the most difficult moments, how Muslim brothers carried him when he had nothing, and how every hardship taught him to rely more deeply upon Allah.
