• Powerful alliances are being established between du’at in the subcontinent and the West, particularly through impactful podcasts like Eon & Maulvi with an Attitude.
• These discussions foster a deeper understanding of the challenges faced by Muslims in both regions, promoting unity and collaboration in the dawah.
A robust connection is being established between du’at in the subcontinent and their counterparts in the West, particularly in the UK and Pakistan.
Podcasts such as Eon, hosted by Brother Ahmed Javaid, and Maulvi with an Attitude, hosted by Brother Raja Zia ul Haq, are making significant strides in this arena.
Eon English has recently featured an impressive lineup of guests, including Paul Williams from Blogging Theology, Mohammed Hijab, Muhammad Jalal of Thinking Muslim, alongside numerous other prominent du’at. Similarly, Brother Zia has welcomed guests such as Yusuf Chambers, our brother Zeeshan Ali (founder of S2J News and Smile 2 Jannah) and Hamza Andreas Tzortzis, among others. Furthermore, Sapience Institute has collaborated with Youth Matters in Pakistan.
Eon English was taken down from YouTube this week; here’s what Brother Ahmad had to say regarding the situation:
Why are these collaborations significant for the Dawah?
These collaboration are significant for the dawah for several reasons. The topics explored in these podcasts—ranging from the conversion stories of reverts such as Yusuf Chambers to the challenges faced by Muslims in both the West and the East—allow audiences from both corners of the world to appreciate the different obstacles confronting the ummah. For instance, this can cultivate a deeper appreciation for the circumstances in the subcontinent, challenging the tendency to romanticise life in the West and acknowledge the pervasive Islamophobia encountered by Western Muslims. Conversely, it provides Muslim audiences in the West with insights into the struggles of their counterparts abroad.
By bridging these gaps, the dawah stands to grow stronger, fostering unity and collaboration among Muslims. By supporting one another and engaging in meaningful dialogue, we can foster a more cohesive community, in shaa Allah, where the dawah can thrive and gain strength on a global stage.
Moreover, the emergence of talented and innovative du’at from Pakistan, who deliver their messages in both English and Urdu, is poised to make a significant impact on both local and international audiences.
