  184: Islamofuturism “Science Fiction Is the Most Spiritually Engaged Genre” w. Ahmed Elbenni

  Aug 12, 20261h 25m

  What happens when you stop imagining yourself in the future? In this episode of The Ansari Podcast, we explore Islamofuturism and the role of science fiction in shaping how Muslims imagine their faith, identity, and place in the future with Ahmed Elbenni. We discuss the influence of Dune, anime, Gulf futurism, and even aliens and the cosmos, while asking why Islam is so often presented in binary terms despite the breadth of its intellectual and spiritual tradition. We explore what an Islamic science fiction could look like and what happens when people are unable to write themselves into the future. Because when you cannot imagine yourself in the future, do you risk disappearing from it?

  Episode #182

  182: Why Kuzzat Altay, a Muslim Uyghur Activist, Looked Elsewhere for Support | China, Israel & the Crisis of Muslim Unity

  Jul 29, 20261h 28m

  Why would a Uyghur activist visit Israel? And what does that reveal about the way Muslims navigate justice in today's political landscape? In this episode, we are joined by a Uyghur activist to explore China's persecution of the Uyghur people, his controversial visit to Israel, and the difficult questions that arise when every side seeks to claim, or discredit, your cause. Together, we discuss Xinjiang, Palestine, the silence of many Muslim governments, nationalism, the Ummah, and why standing for one oppressed people should never require abandoning another.

  Episode #181

  181: Top Chinese Businesswoman Converts to Islam: "Islam Found Me“ w. Sarah Su

  Jul 22, 202657 min

  In this episode, we are joined by a leading businesswoman and marketer Sarah Su who has worked with some of the world's biggest companies to exploring the unexpected journey that led her to Islam. Together, we discuss growing up in an atheist culture, the search for meaning beyond professional success, life as a Muslim in China, and how Islam challenged everything she thought she knew about purpose, identity, and healing. After achieving the career so many aspire to, she discovered that success alone couldn't answer life's deepest questions. What happens when, instead of searching for Islam, it feels like Islam finds you?

  Episode #180

  180: Dawah Bros, Debate Culture & the Muslim Intellectual Crisis w. Ustadh Saad Yacoob

  Jul 15, 20261h 30m

  Why do so many Muslims feel intellectually insecure today? In this episode, we are joined again by Ustadh Saad Yacoob to explore how the history of debate in the Muslim world, from the influence of Aristotle to the impact of colonialism, has shaped the way Muslims think, argue, and understand their faith today. Together, we discuss righteousness, justice, revelation, the thought of Muhammad Iqbal, and why the modern culture of debate may reveal a deeper crisis: many Muslims have come to defend Islam on someone else's terms rather than their own. Has modern debate brought Muslims closer to the truth? … or further away from it?

  179: The Untold History of British Muslims w. Paul Williams

  Jul 8, 20261h 14m

  British Muslims are often spoken about as outsiders, immigrants, or a “problem” Britain must manage.But what if the history of Islam in Britain tells a much deeper story?In this episode of The Ansari Podcast, we sit down with Paul Williams of Blogging Theology to explore the untold history of British Muslims — from early Muslim presence in the UK, to the hundreds of thousands of Muslims who fought for the British Empire, to the postwar workers from Pakistan, India, Bangladesh, and other former colonies who helped rebuild modern Britain through factories, mills, transport, the NHS, small businesses, mosques, and working-class communities.We discuss Islam in the UK, British identity, post-Christian Britain, immigration, anti-Muslim panic, Tommy Robinson, Christian nationalism, the Pakistani grooming gangs scandal, poverty among UK Muslims, Palestine, Israel, Zionism, and whether Britain is facing a deeper spiritual crisis than it wants to admit.British Muslims did not build Britain alone. But Muslims helped build the Britain we know today.So why are so many treated as if they don’t belong?00:00 British Muslims Built Britain04:15 The Growing Muslim Problem10:58 DebtDoc X Provision Capital12:30 How Poor Are UK Muslims?22:50 Is the UK a dead Empire?27:30 UK History & The Immigrant problem today31:33 Become an Ansari! 34:30 American Christians VS UK Christians36:39 What happened to christianity in the UK44:15 History of Christianity in UK & America47:49 The UK is no longer a democracy?51:00 Who Secretly Runs the UK? 54:12 The Truth on Pakistani Grooming gangs1:02:30 History of European #uk #muslim #immigration #britishhistory Support The Ansari Podcast and help us build independent Muslim media:Become a member of the channel and join the Ansari community.JOIN OUR WEBSITE MEMBERSHIP! @ https://ansaripodcast.com/Follow The Ansari Podcast:Instagram: https://instagram.com/ansaripodcastTikTok: https://tiktok.com/@theansaripodcastTwitter/X : https://twitter.com/ansaripodcast
