Did you know that Muslim is NOT a religion? There are a lot of misconceptions around the Muslim community and Islam. In this episode, I had on Zaiba Hasan and Uzma Jafri, podcast hosts and founders of Mommying While Muslim.
Zaiba and Uzma explain Islam and how it differs (and how it’s similar) to other religions like Christianity. They talk about how the religion is practiced differently based on geographic location and answer a few questions I had about being Muslim.
What’s in this episode:
The basics of Islam
How the media misinterprets Muslims and Islam
Why you need to go deeper and get to know people
All about the hijab and modesty
How American Muslims practice their religion vs. Muslim people in other countries
Rituals vs. core values in Islam
How being white-passing affects Muslim people
Advice on how to teach your white children about being accepting
Why you shouldn’t dehumanize others (and how it perpetuates the “other divide”)
