  189: How Would Prophet Muhammadﷺ Use Today’s Money? w. SH Navaid Aziz 16.09.2026 1ч 26мин

  What does it actually look like to handle money as a Muslim in America today? How would Prophet Muhammed ﷺ do it? How did he do it?In this episode, Sheikh Navaid Aziz, Islamic finance scholar and CIO at Phi Wallet, joins us for a practical conversation about debt, saving, investing, mortgages, marriage, and the financial pressures Muslims deal with every day.We talk about the spiritual impact of debt, whether the Prophet ﷺ experienced financial stress, how to stay generous when money is tight, and how someone living paycheck to paycheck can actually begin saving and investing.We also get into Islamic mortgages: are they really halal? Is it better to rent or buy a house in Islam? Should you finance or lease a car? What should Muslims know about 401(k)s and IRAs? And what does halal investing actually look like when it comes to ETFs, SPUS, HLAL, Amana funds, and other options?We also get into a fun debate on gold, Bitcoin, cryptocurrency, fiat currency, and whether a different kind of financial system is possible.And lets not forget money and marriage...should spouses combine finances, should a working wife have financial obligations, allowances, budgeting, and what happens when financial decisions begin putting pressure on a relationship.This is a wide-ranging conversation about Islamic finance, but more importantly, it’s about how to make better financial decisions while trying to stay true to your values.JOIN OUR WEBSITE MEMBERSHIP! @ https://ansaripodcast.comThank You for Your Support!*The Debt Clinic*: https://www.Thedebtclinic.com/ansari*Provision Capital:* https://www.provisioncapital.com00:00 Intro02:02 The Prophet's dua's for wealth06:35 Our Partners08:09 Did the Prophetﷺ have Financial Stress?13:44 How to Start Investing Money 19:46 How much money should you spend & save?25:29 The crazy psychology of rich Muslims30:08 Does a working wife have financial obligations?33:32 Can a Man Insist His Wife Not Work?36:14 Should Spouses Combine Finances?40:41 Should You Buy or Rent a Home?45:44 Would the Prophetﷺ buy a mortgage?01:01:59 Should you buy or lease a Car?01:07:19 Are corporate 401ks halal?01:10:16 Gold: How we change the banking system01:12:07 Fun debate on Cryptocurrency!01:25:57 Can You Minimize Your Taxes for Israel?01:26:30 Outro#investing #islamicfinance #halalinvesting #mortgage #halalmortgage #savingmoney #cryptocurrency #bitcoin #goldstandard*Listen on All Audio Platforms:* https://tr.ee/JeX-ILYSyj*Follow The Ansari Podcast**Instagram:* https://instagram.com/ansaripodcast*TikTok:* https://tiktok.com/@theansaripodcast*Twitter/X:* https://twitter.com/ansaripodcast

  188: What's The Tension Between Evolution & Islam? w. Dr. Shoaib Malik 09.09.2026 1ч 8мин

  Does evolution disprove Islam? Was Adam the father of all humans or all hominids? And can the theory of evolution be reconciled with the Qur’an and Islam? In this episode of The Ansari Podcast, Dr. Shoaib Malik, Lecturer in Science and Religion at the University of Edinburgh, joins us to explore Islam and evolution, human origins, Prophet Adam, Darwinian evolution, and the relationship between science and religion and science and Islam. We ask some of the biggest questions surrounding Islam, evolution, and the origin of humanity: Where did human beings come from? What exactly does modern evolutionary science tell us about our ancestry? Were there human-like creatures before Adam? Was Adam biologically related to other hominids? And does accepting evolution conflict with the Qur’an?Dr. Shoaib Malik explains his theory of Adamic Exceptionalism, a framework for understanding Adam within the scientific evidence for human evolution while preserving the theological significance of Adam in Islam. Also...are humans related to monkeys or apes?From Al-Ghazali and Islamic philosophy to genetics, common ancestry, apes, hominids, and endogenous retroviruses (ERVs), we explore where Islamic theology and evolutionary biology overlap — and where the limits of science may begin.We also discuss whether believing in evolution is haram, whether there can be such a thing as “Islamic science,” the relationship between humans and jinn, historical Islamic discussions surrounding the Queen of Sheba, and some of the stranger questions surrounding human origins.Can Muslims accept evolution?Did humans evolve from apes?Were there other human species before Adam?Was Adam the first Homo sapiens?Can the Qur’an and modern science both be true?This is a conversation about Islam and science, evolution and religion, Adam and Eve, human evolution, Islamic theology, the Qur’an, genetics, anthropology, and the origins of mankind.JOIN OUR WEBSITE MEMBERSHIP! @ https://ansaripodcast.comThank You for Your Support!*The Debt Clinic*: https://www.Thedebtclinic.com/ansari*Provision Capital:* https://www.provisioncapital.com00:00 Intro01:59 Is There Anything in Science that Says God Doesn't Exist?05:24 Ghazali & Evolution?07:29 Our Partners09:02 Is Believing in Evolution Haram?18:30 Islam and Evolution Don't Disagree29:37 Humans Have Married Jinn?35:39 Was Queen of Sheba Half Jinn?!38:51 Humans, Apes & Jinn47:04 What Type of Human Was Adam?54:53 DEBATE: Is There Such Thing as "Islamic Science"?01:06:28 Final Thoughts01:07:37 Part 2 Sneak Peek*Listen on All Audio Platforms:* https://tr.ee/JeX-ILYSyj*Follow The Ansari Podcast**Instagram:* https://instagram.com/ansaripodcast*TikTok:* https://tiktok.com/@theansaripodcast*Twitter/X:* https://twitter.com/ansaripodcast#Islam #science #Evolution #Jinn #Adam

  British Muslims are often spoken about as outsiders, immigrants, or a “problem” Britain must manage.But what if the history of Islam in Britain tells a much deeper story?In this episode of The Ansari Podcast, we sit down with Paul Williams of Blogging Theology to explore the untold history of British Muslims — from early Muslim presence in the UK, to the hundreds of thousands of Muslims who fought for the British Empire, to the postwar workers from Pakistan, India, Bangladesh, and other former colonies who helped rebuild modern Britain through factories, mills, transport, the NHS, small businesses, mosques, and working-class communities.We discuss Islam in the UK, British identity, post-Christian Britain, immigration, anti-Muslim panic, Tommy Robinson, Christian nationalism, the Pakistani grooming gangs scandal, poverty among UK Muslims, Palestine, Israel, Zionism, and whether Britain is facing a deeper spiritual crisis than it wants to admit.British Muslims did not build Britain alone.

  Why is the Democratic establishment terrified of Abdul El-Sayed winning Michigan? What does a senator funded by individual donors do differently than one answering to lobbyists? How will a Muslim candidate survive the attacks awaiting him in the Senate? When you have $2.3M in foreign PAC money flooding a primary, can real grassroots politics still win? And what happens to progressive policy when you're facing both parties in Congress?Join us for a conversation with Michigan's most controversial senatorial candidate. We break down why James Carville and Democratic insiders are actively working to keep him out. Abdul walks us through his entire platform: removing lobbyists, Medicare for All in Michigan, and actually representing working people instead of corporate interests. We dive into his controversial decision to campaign with Hasan Piker, the viral moment he called out Haley Stevens' funding on stage, what it means to be the first Muslim Senator in American history, and the unfiltered answer every voter needs to hear about how to actually win in a rigged system.This isn't polished politics.

  Islam is spreading across East Asia — and the rise of Muslims in China, Taiwan, Japan, and Korea could reshape the future of the Muslim world. As China becomes a global superpower and the West declines in influence, Muslim immigrants, converts, and native East Asian Muslims may become one of the most important religious communities in a Chinese-dominated world order.In this episode of The Ansari Podcast, we sit down with Imam Abdullah Cheng, a Taiwanese Muslim imam and computer scientist from a convert background, to explore the future of Islam in China, Taiwan, Japan, and East Asia.

  175: Mufti Kamani “The AntiChrist Is Coming...What You Can Do Now" w. Mufti Hussain Kamani | E175 03.06.2026 1ч 45мин

  Mufti Hussain Kamani is one of the most respected Islamic scholars in America, a qualified Mufti and jurist authorized to issue fatwa, and the former Director of Qalam Seminary joins Ansari on The Ansari Podcast for a powerful conversation on Dajjal, the Antichrist, Surah Al-Kahf, anger, fitna, materialism, and how Muslims can protect their iman in the end times.The world feels angrier, more distracted, more divided, and more spiritually numb than ever before. Is this just the result of politics, social media, trauma, and modern life — or are we watching the stage quietly being set for the greatest deception mankind will ever face? Mufti Kamani explains why rage keeps rising, what happens when the intellect shuts down, how heedlessness destroys the heart, and why the warnings of the Quran and Sunnah feel so urgent in the age we are living through right now.In this deep-dive episode, Mufti Kamani breaks down the Islamic framework for understanding anger, the spiritual danger of ghaflah, the lessons of Surah Al-Kahf, the San Diego tragedy, the moral corruption of the “Epstein class,” and how runaway materialism, distraction, and dunya-worship are preparing people for the fitnah of Dajjal. We also discuss tazkiyah, purification of the heart, optimism in chaotic times, how to stay spiritually awake, and what it means to live with purpose when the modern world is designed to make you forget Allah.Mufti Kamani also opens up about why he left Qalam Seminary after more than a decade, what he is building next, his message to current and former Qalam students, and what it means to serve the Muslim Ummah in a time of confusion, corruption, and spiritual warfare.This conversation is about faith, anger, fear, deception, purpose, and survival — for every Muslim trying to keep their heart alive in the modern age.JOIN OUR WEBSITE MEMBERSHIP! @ https://ansaripodcast.com*Join The Cosmos Club Newsletter:* https://www.ansaripodcast.com/cosmos-club*The Debt Clinic*: https://www.mydebtclinic.com/ansari*Provision Capital:* https://www.provisioncapital.com00:00 Join Our Community!01:20 Dajjal is Near, the World is Full of Anger07:56 We're Being Attacked from All Sides14:36 What if you have too much anger?16:06 Ad18:07 The Deception of the Antichrist25:22 How Vulnerable are We to the AntiChrist?30:52 What's the Point if the AntiChrist is Coming soon?43:00 Ad43:45 What Does the Quran Say About Surviving?59:43 Purification of the Heart in Era of the Epstein Class01:07:56 How to Be Optimistic in This Chaotic World01:21:54 Why Mufti Kamani Left Qalam Seminary01:33:22 A Message to Qalam Students01:36:28 Member Questions!01:38:19 Speed Round Questions01:44:52 Outro#dajjal #antichrist #muftikamani #qalam #podcast #anger*Listen on All Audio Platforms:* https://tr.ee/JeX-ILYSyj*Follow The Ansari Podcast**Instagram:* https://instagram.com/ansaripodcast*TikTok:* https://tiktok.com/@theansaripodcast*Twitter/X:* https://twitter.com/ansaripodcast

  173: "You're Not Lost. Allah is Preparing You For Something Big" w. Productivity Coach Mohammed Faris 20.05.2026 1ч 18мин

  Muhammad Faris, author of “The Productive Muslim” and “The Baraka Effect”, returns to the Ansari Podcast at one of the most chaotic moments in modern history. Iran on the brink. Gaza still burning. AI wiping out entire industries overnight. Thousands of tech workers just got pink-slipped. A generation of college graduates can't find a single job. So what do you do when the whole system collapses around you? Is this punishment or a gift in disguise? Can you build Baraka when everything is on fire? Is the 9-to-5 corporate dream already dead? And why are the most successful people in the world taking naps?*The Ansari Team NEEDS YOUR HELP*_Support us on our website!_ https://ansaripodcast.com/*Ayubi Collective*FREE 10-Part Masterclass “How to Build Your Own Multi-Billion Dollar Business”https://www.ayubi.com/ansari*Provision Capital:* https://www.provisioncapital.com00:00 Ad00:32 You cant find a job12:22 Is Allah is Strengthening Our Generation?15:38 Ad17:18 How to use AI without losing your mind22:30 AI took your job25:15 The Barakah of Owning a Business30:58 The Secret Time of Day Wealth Increases39:45 The Prophetic Work Day42:51 The Lie They Sold Our Parents48:43 Ad49:23 Muslims Must Lead The World01:03:28 How Do You Find Your Purpose?01:13:00 Barakah When Times Are Bad01:17:19 Final Thoughts#ai #barakah #Productivity #motivation #podcast #jobs #purpose *Listen on All Audio Platforms:* https://tr.ee/JeX-ILYSyj*Follow The Ansari Podcast**Instagram:* https://instagram.com/ansaripodcast*TikTok:* https://tiktok.com/@theansaripodcast*Twitter/X:* https://twitter.com/ansaripodcast

  172: "Israel Can't Stop What’s Coming" w. Sami Hamdi 14.05.2026 1ч 34мин

  Sami Hamdi is on the podcast to break down everything. How did he get out from ICE Detention, what should Muslims do if their family gets taken by ICE. Also, do Americans have to choose between Zionists and Muslims? Epstein and Sharia Law? Or do Muslims offer a vision of America that is beautiful and ethical. The Way Zohran Mamdani turned New York into the best city in America! People were saying "he's going to bring Sharia law!". Also, speaking of Epstein, what's up with the UAE?! Is Israel already done with Iran and moving on to Turkey and Egypt? is America's relationship with Zionism about to collapse under its own weight? The entire global order is shifting under our feet, and the people in power are counting on you not noticing.*The Ansari Team NEEDS YOUR HELP*_Support us on our website!_ https://ansaripodcast.com/*Ayubi Collective*FREE 10-Part Masterclass “How to Build Your Own Multi-Billion Dollar Business”https://www.ayubi.com/ansari*Provision Capital:* https://www.provisioncapital.com00:00 We need your help to keep going00:32 Sami, Do you Regret Trump?08:00 ICE: Muslims Are suffering.11:22 Ad22:43 Mamdani Proved Sharia law is great?32:14 Are you telling Muslims to love America?! 43:08 How Christians are Israel's real enemy49:35 Ad50:20 What Does the Next 10 Years Look Like?01:01:24 The Evil of the UAE01:13:20 Why The UAE Attacks Western Muslims01:18:48 First Iran, NOW...Turkey?01:29:17 Are Zionists Actually Powerful?01:32:33 Where Is the World Headed in 10 Years?#israel #podcast #samihamdi #america #trump #uae #muslim #christian *Listen on All Audio Platforms:* https://tr.ee/JeX-ILYSyj*Follow The Ansari Podcast**Instagram:* https://instagram.com/ansaripodcast*TikTok:* https://tiktok.com/@theansaripodcast*Twitter/X:* https://twitter.com/ansaripodcast

  171: “You’re Not Behind. God is Keeping You Single For a Reason” w. Lama Aboubakr 06.05.2026 1ч 23мин

  Why are so many Muslims struggling to get married and are still single? Lama Aboubakr is a mindset, life, and relationship and marriage coach combining cognitive psychology with Islamic spirituality, and she even uses hypnosis as a therapy tool. This episode breaks down why you're still single and how to find your spouse. Are you chasing a feeling instead of a real marriage? Is your dua sincere if you secretly don't believe it'll be answered? Are you marrying your ego or your values? What if the story you've been telling yourself about why you're single is the actual problem? We go there: fear, shame, unrealistic expectations, family pressure, and what true tawakkul looks like when everyone around you is already married. Everything you need to know before you get married. *JOIN OUR YOUTUBE MEMBERSHIP*OR*Support us on Patreon:* https://www.patreon.com//theansaripodcast*Ayubi Collective*FREE 10-Part Masterclass “How to Build Your Own Multi-Billion Dollar Business”https://www.ayubi.com/ansari*Provision Capital:* https://www.provisioncapital.com00:00 Hypnosis to heal04:20 Are You Marrying Your Ego?10:39 #1 Reason People Cant Find a Spouse14:08 Ad15:47 The 1st Step to Finding a Spouse24:42 What Men Get Wrong About Women27:46 What Women Get Wrong About Men32:30 Ad33:06 Single After 25/30!
