Raw Islam 50: The Golden Episode - Building The BridgesThis week on the Raw Islam Podcast with Imam Azhar– a 2017 Podcast Award nominated podcast, our question of the week is can a Muslims be an all-rounder?
Imam Azhar opens this episode by teasing episode 52…seems funny that we haven’t even finished this one yet, but whatever… where he will be conducting an interview about the Parliament of World Religions. As an aside, once that episode is published we will put a link here. So, book mark this page and check back next week!

Before engaging into the big debate over Sirius/XM vs terrestrial radio, Imam Azhar takes a moment to note the passing of Carl Kasell, who died at the age of 84. He was a broadcaster for NPR for many decades and the judge and scorekeeper for Wait Wait… Don’t Tell Me!

B.C. Dodge follows this conversation with the passing of Harry Anderson, who was best known as his roll on the show Night Court as Judge Harry Stone. We really hope that someone nominates this episode for “Happiest Opening 10 Minutes Ever.”

Finally, this episode breaks its morbid track when B.C. talks about Harry Anderson’s passion for his work. Imam Azhar goes on to say that there are more than 7 billion people in the world, but as a whole, we are on a sharp decline when it comes to passion. Now how can we correct our course?

B.C. Dodge opens the show by point out that this is the Golden episode of the Raw Islam Podcast – that is correct, this is the big 50. This podcast, and this network started in February of 2017, with just some phone calls and a few dreams. Since then we have added shows and been nominated for awards. And as, B.C. points out, none of this could have been done without the fans, the listeners, the downloaders, and the Facebookers. We would like to say thank you to all of you.

And because this is our 50th episode, Imam Azhar is live from the Florida Gulf Coast University in Fort Myers Florida with 2 very special guests that are joining us to talk about finding common ground and building the bridge between communities.

These young sisters speak about their interfaith work, which is about reaching across the table to extend a hand and explain what the true narrative is of Islam. As one of the sisters eluded to, if you do not tell your story, someone else may end up telling it for you – and their facts might not be right.

Islamic Faith in Focus 9: Islam and The Hell Fire

Islamic Faith in Focus 9: Islam and The Hell FireOn this week’s Islamic Faith in Focus podcast with Imam Hassan he addresses death and hell.

It states in the Quran that “Indeed the hell fire is the dwelling place of them all. It has seven gates and within each gate there is an appropriate punishment for each inhabitant…” (Hijr: 44)

The first gate – Jahannam – is for the hypocrites, and the Quran states that “Every time the fire eats away their flesh We will replace it with new flesh so they can taste the punishment…” (Nisaa’:56)

The second gate – Ladha’ – and the Quran states that “There is no way out for them, except the Ladha (i.e. Fierce Blaze) will certainly scorch the inward organs and the outward flesh! It will invite everyone who turned away from following the truth, heedless of it and gathered wealth but refused to spend it in the cause of Allah…” (Ma’arij:15)

The third gate – Saqar – and in the Quran we can read that “Those in paradise will ask the criminals what has landed you all in Saqar? They will say: “We were not of those who used to pray and we didn’t feed the poor and we used to talk vainly with those who talked vain talk and we used to deny the Day of Recompense until death came to us and we saw the reality of all that we denied” (Mudathir:40-47).

There are four gates, download to learn more!

Raw Islam 49: How Do We Change The Narrative?

Raw Islam 49: How Do We Change The Narrative?This week on the Raw Islam Podcast with Imam Azhar– a 2017 Podcast Award nominated podcast, our question of the week is how do we change the narrative?

On the heels of #PunishAMuslimDay, some very clever Twitter users started using the hashtag #PublishAMuslimDay – so B.C. Dodge opens this show by saying thank you Hend Amry, or @LibyaLiberty , for pointing out this podcast to her followers.

 

Imam Azhar goes on to say that in 2018, the fact that we have a “Punish a Muslim Day” is a very disgusting mark on humanity. He points out that over the past year we have seen the results of demonizing one another based on faith, background, or skin color, yet here we are having this conversation.

However, given the state of social media, and the narcissism that it is causing, is it possible that we not only want people to say acknowledge what is happening – but our gage for what sympathy is has moved as well? Are we looking for someone to say, “I am sorry that is happening to you because you are X, Y, or Z.”?

Beyond that, Imam Azhar asks by making these hashtags, by engaging in the conversation, by searching for that sympathy – what in our actions showed that we were trying to find the conversation? Were the actions that were taken helpful?

Islamic Faith in Focus 8: Islamic Etiquette

Islamic Faith in Focus 8: Islamic EtiquetteOn this week’s Islamic Faith in Focus podcast with Imam Hassan, he addresses Islamic etiquette –as in how a Muslim should speak and interact with other people.

Using the example of the Prophet Mohammad (pbuh) the Imam explains that The Prophet didn’t use a lot of extra words, he didn’t talk just to hear his own voice, he spoke when he had something to say, and when he did he got right to the point. Pretty much saying that sometimes less is more when it comes to addressing people.

Muslims are not supposed to back-bite, curse, or be derogatory to one another or in speech. If they are, that is not from Islam – rather it is from that person’s character.

The Imam reminds us that our words will be used to judge us on the final day, and that kind and sweet words will help us – and the nonsense we speak, the hurtful words we utter, the garbage that fall out of our mouths will be help against us. So, remember to always speak kind words.

In short, before you open your mouth think about what you are going to say…and as your mother used to say, if you don’t have anything nice to say, don’t say it anything at all.

Don’t forget that we are introducing the new Venn Network t-shirt, which you can own by heading over to Amazon.com.

Raw Islam 48: Who is Your Daddy?

Raw Islam 48: Who is Your Daddy?This week on the Raw Islam Podcast with Imam Azhar– a 2017 Podcast Award nominated podcast, our question of the week is who is your daddy?

B.C. Dodge starts this podcast off talking about – God knows what! He seems to take off on some sort of ramble… honestly, we are kind of worried about him at this point.

Luckly, Imam Azhar get the show back on track quickly reminding the listeners, and watchers, that this show is here to break down the news with some Islamic spirituality sprinkled on top. Thank God there is one professional on this podcast!

The show continues as Imam Azhar recaps the March for Our Lives that took place in Washington, D.C., well as all over the nation. While Imam Azhar wanted to attened, he had a previous commitment to his students to teach his class “How to be a living Quran in the 21st Century.” But why did he opt to teach this class rather than attend the march?

Because there seems to be a march or protest every other week for something else, and the truth of the matter is that the problem starts higher…and maybe far more simply. Maybe if we start by addressing the loss of our communities, we might be able to grow more. Honestly, when was the last time you talked to your neighbors?

Lastly, where did the title of this episode come from? You must listen to find out!
