TERRIBLE Audio EPIC Content - BBC Interviews MuslimMan™ Founder Nabeel Azeez
May 19, 2023 15:49 - 51 minutes - 95 MBIf you can bear with the awful audio quality of this recording, you are going to really enjoy this interview. Recently, I was interviewed by the BBC for their Heart and Soul podcast for a documentary about the rise of the Muslim manosphere. When I recorded this interview, I had to do it off of a screen share. I didn’t get the Zoom recording. I asked them for the recording but they refused, it’s not something they do. So I had to ninja record it. Alhamdulillah that I did, because they used ...

Muslimah Serial Entrepreneur Hodan Ibrahim on Minority Business Owners, Self-Worth, Feminism, Polygyny, and More
October 27, 2018 10:44 - 1 hour - 230 MBI first came across Hodan Ibrahim in 2016, when she basically dropped everything she was doing in Canada and moved to Dubai to organize and host M-Powered Summit. This was a first-of-its-kind conference on Muslim startups and entrepreneurship. I ended up interviewing her and her co-founder for Ilmfeed, and also did writeups of the event. I haven't seen one like it, since. She hosted another, similar conference in Malaysia then next year, and has since moved on to bigger and better th...
Muslim Men in Journalism: The World's Last Hope Against Fake News
September 22, 2018 09:36 - 49 minutes - 114 MBLate last year, I had the chance to sit down to talk to Hussein Kesvani about his work as a Muslim journalist. A lot happened between then and now that led to me not publishing this podcast episode soon after I recorded it. I figure now's as good a time as any. Hussein Kesvani is the UK/Europe editor for Mel Magazine, a publication ostensibly about men and masculinity (though I would argue it's perpetuating modern degeneracy and promoting men being Soyboys.) This is most certainly a b...

November 21, 2017 12:08 - 1 hour - 143 MBI wasted my 20s. Here’s how: a Born Muslim’s Convert Story. It was all necessary. Those experiences made me who I am today. But that doesn’t mean others have to make the same mistakes, or worse. You don’t have to learn the hard way. Most of you will, because you don’t listen to people with more experience than you. Some of you won’t. You’re the smart ones. This post is for you. Like me, Alexander Juan Antonio Cortes wasted his 20s. I asked him to join me on the Becoming the Alpha...

November 13, 2017 11:04 - 1 hour - 76.4 MBFor complete show notes, visit: http://becomingthealphamuslim.com/meta-learning I know what you're thinking: What the hell does learning math have to do with Becoming the Alpha Muslim? I'll tell you what. The Islamic Sacred Tradition is one of deep learning and transmission, so much so that entire books were written on the art of learning.

July 25, 2017 10:13 - 38 minutes - 52.5 MBIn this podcast, we are going to do a deep-dive (sort of) into halal dating. As surprising as it sounds, 20% of my readers are women. Some of them even e-mail me asking for help with their boy problems. They're usually a hot mess (as women are when they catch feels) but Alhamdulillah I was able to help them avoid potential disasters. On top of that, as you know, I review matrimonial apps for Becoming the Alpha Muslim. I would say about half, or a little more than half, of the women...

Why Fatherhood is how Empires are Built (Special Guest: Neil White)
March 07, 2017 14:00 - 1 hour - 71.2 MBWhy aren't there any popular Muslim Dad Blogs? Maybe there are, but I sure as hell haven't seen them. Technically this is a good thing because it means the dads are out earning a living to provide for their families. It's also a bad thing because this means the online Islamic discourse is dominated by women and, sadly, Feminists at that. You may have also noticed, if you read them, the Dad Blogs which do exist read like they were written by women or effeminate men. Which brings me ...
How to Re-Ignite Your Sex Life (Special Guest: Pat Stedman)
February 27, 2017 11:30 - 55 minutes - 62.8 MBThe idea for this episode came to mind while I was listening to the Mad Mamluks - shoutout to Mahim, SIM, Sheikh Amir, and Mort. A few weeks ago they had a psychologist on a few weeks ago, who is a relationship consultant. The topic of dead bedrooms came up. It was a good discussion and there was some good advice given. However, I felt like they didn't really nail the issue. The problem is, we tend to neglect the fact that the female has her own sexuality and sexual arousal. We t...
Who is Allah? (Non-Muslims Should Listen Too)
February 21, 2017 20:31 - 29 minutes - 25.9 MBMy Short-lived Career as a Preacher A few years ago I had a brief stint as a Jumuah Khateeb (someone who delivers the sermon at Friday Mass.) I took it very seriously – I wrote all of my sermons myself – and was well received. Ideally, the Friday sermon should be very inspiring and an immediate boost to the faith of the congregants meant to encourage and sustain them for the entire week. I’m a big proponent of drilling the fundamentals, so in one of my sermons I explained the meaning...
Nabeel, why support Mike @Cernovich? (Calling out the Activist Sect)
February 17, 2017 11:20 - 14 minutes - 13.3 MBThis week's podcast is actually a week overdue.

My #BruceLeeMoment
February 02, 2017 17:48 - 14 minutes - 14.9 MBIn today's episode... I fly solo for the first time and tell you how Bruce Lee's philosophy helped me manifest my Islam more honestly and authentically. When it comes to self-improvement in our time Bruce Lee is the most famous example and most likely the gold standard, even though he died over 40 years ago. He is commonly known as a superlative martial artist and an action movie superstar. Less well known is his expertise as a philosopher and being a prolific writer. Most importa...
A Music Lover's Struggle to Stay True to Islam with Irshad Azeez
January 18, 2017 15:01 - 59 minutes - 83.2 MBHow do we engage Muslims who aren’t as far along the spiritual path as we are? As someone who was Muslim in name alone for most of my life, it’s surprisingly easy to forget where I started and how far I’ve actually come. Imagine how much harder it is for Muslims who know nothing but a proper adherence to Islam. I want to understand how the "non-practicing" and “not-so-practicing” Muslim think, what their views are of the World, and what keeps them away from achieving their potential as...

Engineering the Warrior Monk with Ed Latimore
October 14, 2016 12:05 - 1 hour - 121 MBHave you ever played role-playing games (RPGs,) on table-top or video? Games like Diablo, Baldur's Gate, Neverwinter Nights, and others allow you to create and customize characters that improve as you play through the story. The characters have different archetypes and abilities. There are warriors, mages, rogues, archers, etc. One of those archetypes is the 'warrior monk' or 'fighting monk,' loosely based on Shaolin monks. His character backstory is one of asceticism, stoicism, c...
Backpack Islamic with Dukkan Show
September 02, 2016 16:20 - 45 minutes - 66 MBThis past Ramadan I was a guest on Dukkan Show, a lifestyle podcast based out of Dubai. We ended up doing a series of four episodes together. My first sit-down was with two the co-founders, Irshad and Feras. We talked about a prepping for Ramadan and a bunch of other things. Some of the discussion didn't make it into the final cut. It was quality material nonetheless, so I asked them to put it together for me. That's what you'll be hearing in this episode. We talk about my work a...
