Does Shia/Sunni Matter in America?

Podcaster and radio personality, Farheen Raza, mom of 3 rambunctious boys, joins us today to inform us about what Shiism is--history, practice, and whether or not it matters which sect we identify with in America. During this time of division and change in our nation, it matters whether or not we decrease or broaden the schisms between our neighbors and mom sisters.

We barely touched the tip of the iceberg on this topic, so watch out for a second part coming this month as we continue to discuss Muslim identity. There’s already a hot difference of opinion we are having and we cannot wait to continue it on our part deux.

On Call Halal

Kaitlin Abdelrahman joins us today to talk about how and why she launched On-Call Halal, delivering halal meals at suhoor AND iftar to Muslim healthcare workers in Kansas City. When all things are tough and we have to juggle so much. Kaitlin added one more thing to her amazing repertoire in order to turn lemons into lemonade. Of course, she’s sparked a conversation and movement that we hope will continue and span the breadth of our nation’s front line workers. What a power mom mashaAllah!

Whenever we feel it’s hard, it’s refreshing to know that we can always rise up to face the challenges we meet. Allahu Akbar.

Muslim American Immigrant Identity

Not all second-generation Americans were encouraged to be overtly “American,” or to adopt the cultural practices that make us unique on the planet: our innate senses of justice, equality, work ethic, and our history of rebellion weren’t exercised and flexed in traditionally Muslim countries, but then our parents came here and some felt slapped in the face by these traits. Others embraced them.

Sabeeha Rehman, a grassroots activist, community builder, mother, grandmother, and author joins us today to talk about her mothering journey in America and how that shaped her Muslim American identity as an immigrant to this country. The framework and permissions she gives us may not be for everyone, but they are a relief to others. We welcome the discussion and opportunity to remember that this nation, while in pain right now, is the perfect soil to cultivate an authentic Islam we couldn’t practice anywhere else.
