Many Muslims have misunderstood modernity, postmodernism and secularism. US-based Imam Tom Facchine challenges conventional wisdom and takes on contentious topics in today’s Unscripted podcast.







From exposing Jordan Peterson’s “intellectual” theories to exploring the intricate concepts of deconstruction, modernism, and postmodernism. Speaking on his personal journey to Islam, Imam Tom shares why Islam emerged as a formidable contender against Western epistemology as he navigated through postmodernist deconstruction, ultimately finding solace and truth in Islam.







Learn about the pitfalls modern Muslims face, from falling into societal traps to grappling with secularism, hijab, red-pill, and Tateism.

We sit with Shaykh Bilal Ismail from South Africa and hear about the inspiring work being done for the da’wah there. From training Imams and the realities of the ‘Rainbow nation’, the future of Islam in South Africa is bright inshāAllāh!

In this episode, we sit with Shaykh Ahmed Hammuda, a Palestinian writer, on the last week's events in and around Gaza following Operation Al-Aqsa Flood. Analysts are already describing it as one of the most significant events to have taken place in the region in the last 75 years with long-running consequences that have already reshaped political calculations.

In this thought-provoking episode, we sat down with Mustafa al-Mansur in a deep and honest conversation about life, personal development, and the gap between our ideals and reality. Mustafa shares his journey of self-discovery and the realisation that having knowledge and talking about ideals is not enough to make a real impact on one’s life and the community.







Mustafa introduces the concept of a “self-assessment act return” emphasising the importance of assessing one’s progress in various aspects of life, including personal growth, family, and community involvement. They explored the tendency to wait for external forces or extraordinary events to bring about change instead of taking practical steps towards improvement.







The conversation explores the idea that knowing where you stand and actively working towards positive change is essential for individual and communal development. Mustafa challenges the notion of complacency and focuses on the need for continuous self-improvement to bridge the gap between aspirations and reality.







Watch this episode to gain valuable insights into personal development, self-assessment, and the importance of taking action to make a meaningful impact in your sphere of influence. It’s a candid and enlightening discussion that encourages viewers to reflect on their own journey toward self-improvement and growth.
