Join Dr Layla Aitlhadj as she speaks to Farhat Amin about her work at Prevent Watch in combatting Islamophobia. She shares insights into Prevent Watch's strategies, revealing how they empower and support Muslims facing discrimination in the UK due to the Prevent duty.

The Prevent duty has been sold to the public and public service employees as a legal duty under Section 29 of the Counter-Terrorism and Security (CTS) Act.

It evokes a language of fear and violence to criminalise religious and political beliefs deemed by the Home Office and the Commissioner for Countering Extremism to be extreme at any given time.

The dress of Muslim women has been politicised by secular thinkers, left-wing activists, conservatives, feminists, and talk-show hosts that all believe their take on the subject will emancipate Muslim women. For centuries, an obsession with Muslim women’s dress has enabled an array of political projects.

This week we speak to two guests, firstly Farhat Amin, who is working on a book project to address the twin challenges of Muslim confusion about their Islamic rights and feminism and then we discuss the long colonial history behind the politicisation of women's dress and how to view the hijab from the shari’ah rules with Ustadh Iyad Hilal, author, and imam from the United States.

Season 4 of A Muslim Mom Podcast will be exploring how we can reclaim our Muslim mindset.

Send feedback & questions by joining the telegram channel https://t.me/joinchat/AAAAAFcjMGXfFhYUN7GN9Q

How we experience the world, and our ability to succeed within it, constantly changes based on our mindset. I want to look at the following interconnected challenges we collectively face:

• Reasons behind the rise in mental health issues
  
• The sexualisation of society
  
• The sexualisation of childhood
  
• Sex & relationship education
  
• Body Image, low self-esteem, and eating disorders
  
• Individualism, materialism & consumerism
  

Inshallah, I don't want to just outline the negatives. Rather, I hope to shine a light on the positive Islamic approach to these problems so we can develop a confident Muslim mindset. As positive brains have an advantage over negative or confused brains. Recent discoveries in the field of positive psychology show that when we have clear advice and guidelines regarding how to deal with a difficult situation then our brains become more engaged, motivated, and productive.

The goal of season 4 is not simply to try to give quick fixes for the things that aren't working. Rather, I hope the episodes will be a guide to focus on and amplify the things that do work. I do not aim to upset the solutions offered by others. Most of the answers we get, when based on sound evidence, are perfectly valid. However, if we're starting with the wrong questions we will fail to understand the cause of our problems.

With Allah's help and the right mindset, we can reframe the negative unIslamic concepts that are causing us anxiety. We can stop them from holding us back from achieving our full potential as Muslims. We can reverse the formula that we use for happiness and success. Inshallah, we can create a love of learning and a resilience that will motivate us to achieve our ultimate goal: Jannah.

If you want to see a film that simultaneously depicts the horrors of man’s excessive barbarism but also the indominable spirit of human resilience, you have to watch The Mauritanian. Set in the legally dubious post-9/11 world, it tells the gripping story of Mohamedou Ould Slahi and his rendition to the infamous ex-Soviet airbase, Bagram in Afghanistan and then Guantanamo Bey. Slahi was falsely accused of links to Al-Qaeda and without recourse to due process, international treaties and conventions and the so-called cherished principles of the US constitution, he ended up spending 14-long years in Camp X-ray. Yet the power of the human spirit and his Islamic convictions prevailed and he returned to his home country of Mauritania, exonerated of any wrongdoing.

But the film left many unanswered questions. We invited Moazzam Begg from the campaigning group CageUK, also a former Guantanamo prisoner, to talk about the film, his relationship with Slahi and to put into context the geopolitical and legal issues that led to what some describe as a scar on American democracy.
