In this episode the guys talk about the importance of character and how Islam has amplified the essence of good character in us.

It is easy to be a good person but a lot of people are losing that faction of themselves. In this episode, listen as we talk about things we've seen, heard, and gone through in regards to reflecting on our character and becoming better people and more importantly, better Muslims.

Relate to us as we tell a couple stories regarding situations we have been in that tested our character and in turn could have taken a toll on our faith as Muslims.

This episode we talk about the disease of procrastination and laziness. We bring up how these traits can kill a persons iman and also makes their lives harder.

Islam is perfect, and part of the perfection is how embracing islam truly will rid a person of being a procrastinator or being lazy or both. We bring up how these attributes of a person can spread into things like the prayer and can make them lose discipline in their life and lose sight of their true purpose.

We start this critical first episode off by talking about the stigma of being muslim black males in the West and what came with that. We talk about struggles we may have had, how we dealt with them, and tell stories that we believe our audience can relate to.

Keeping our theme of the episode that Allah (SWT) is always with us was vital because that connection is of the utmost importance to us and talking/dealing with these things.

We also spoke about our transitions in school, difficulties we notice today, being humble and grateful, and our connections with people vs. Allah.
