04/08/21 • 78 min

On this episode of Living Muslim, I talk to Imam Khalid Latif. He had a previous life as a star high school athlete in both football and track. Now he serves as the Chaplain (Imam) for New York University and the Executive Director of the Islamic Center at NYU. He tells us his story of how he went from someone who had forgotten how to pray to now one of the 500 most influential muslims in the world! May Allah make this a source of benefit for you. Ameen.

Ep 2 w/ Sister Inma Zanoguera

In this episode, I'm joined by Sister Inma Zanoguera. At the age of 2, she was adopted along with her sister and her brother and raised in Mallorca, Spain.

At 25, she found out her birth mother was a Sahrawi, a people from the Western Sahara who are under occupation. She journeyed to Western Sahara to learn about her roots; she now serves as an advocate for refugees everywhere, by using her platform to bring light to the refugee experience. She even went on to speak at the UN on behalf of the Sahrawi!

Inma found Islam just two years ago, but she has already developed a beautiful perspective and understanding of the religion. Listen in as she shares her story.
