“This might be long.
Every time I have had a child, my iman has suffered. I don’t know why, but I have had three children and each time it got worse. After the birth of my last baby in 2020 I stopped praying altogether and completely lost my connection with my chosen faith (I am 34 and converted at age 19).
In 2022 I found this podcast (specifically, the Prophet Muhammad podcast — this podcast’s season 1). I cannot overstate the impact it had on me. For the first time in 2.5 years I felt like I WANTED to be Muslim again. I started doing salah regularly again BECAUSE OF this podcast. I have been inspired to seek out more media talking about the Seerah and also the lives of the Prophet’s (saw) wives and family and companions.
Maintaining my connection to Islam is still a struggle, but I would not have made the progress I did without the work of Br Muttaqi Ismail (and of course the help of Allah swt). Thank you for all the work and love you put into this podcast. I pray that every time I make salah, you are rewarded for it.”
