    What’s Wrong With Us? A Quranic Call to Stand With the Oppressed

    When Allah asks us in Surah An-Nisa: “What is wrong with you?” - He is speaking to those who ignore oppression and suffering around them.

    In this episode, Shaykh Muhammad Alshareef (rA) reminds us of a powerful spiritual responsibility: listening to and supporting the oppressed. We explore the Quranic verses calling us to defend those who cry out “Our Lord, rescue us”, and the prophetic promise that Allah will never disgrace the one who stands with the vulnerable.

    You will hear reminders from the life of the Prophet ﷺ - how his protection from Allah was tied to caring for the afflicted - and the warning he gave Mu’adh (ra) about fearing the Dua of the oppressed, a Dua with no barrier between it and Allah.

    This episode will shift how you see activism, mercy, and the protection Allah grants those who step up.

    May Allah make us a source of relief, never a cause of harm. Ameen.

    Legacy That Lasts: How Every Believer Can Make a Difference Ft. Shaykh Muhammad Alshareef (rA)

    The question every believer must ask: what are you leaving behind?

    Legacy isn’t about fame, followers, or having your name remembered by the masses. 

    It’s about the unseen deeds written with Allah - the ones carried out quietly, sincerely, and with intention. 

    From the brother who organized parking at the masjid, to the soldier whose name was never known but whose sacrifice was recorded in Jannah- these are the legacies that matter.

    This reminder dives deep into what it truly means to make a difference.

    The Prophet ﷺ said, “Each of you is a shepherd and each of you is responsible for his flock.” 

    Whether in family, work, or community, every believer is a leader.

    Listen to the podcast to know how small consistent actions, pure intentions, and a refusal to “give up” can transform an ordinary life into one of extraordinary impact. 

    It’s a call to build ideas that serve, to use time wisely, and to craft a legacy that echoes into the Hereafter.

    What Happens When You Finally Dare to Ask Allah Ft. Shaykh Muhammad Alshareef (rA)

    There comes a moment when a person realizes:


    The only thing standing between them and the life they were meant to live…


    …is the courage to ask Allah for it.


    Not the connections.

    Not the timing.

    Not even the resources.


    Just a Dua bold enough to match the size of what’s in their heart.


    Because every visionary journey begins with a Dua that feels a little too big.


    A request that stretches the soul and dares to trust in the unseen.


    A dream verbalized in sujood, because of a belief that nothing’s impossible for Allah.


    And once that kind of Dua is made, everything begins to shift.


    Limiting beliefs start to fall away.


    The past no longer defines the future.


    And what once felt impossible starts unfolding, piece by piece.


    This is the power of a believer who decides to dream with Allah in the equation.


    So if the desire is there…


    If the fire is still flickering…


    It’s not over.


    It’s just beginning.
