S1:E1 - Pilot

The smartphone and technology have taken over a significant portion of our lives and it's effecting not just Muslims, but everyone. How do we reclaim our solitude and return to a state of spirituality?

Dr. Shadee, Muin, and Ali discuss the topic of gender roles in today's society and in the deen. What does it mean to be a specific gender? How do Allah Azzawajal and the Messenger ﷺ‎ define what it means to be a man or a woman.

Come have a listen as we discuss issues of clashing aqeedah, secular influences, mini muftis, blurred lines and more in this episode of the Safina Podcast!

DISCLAIMER: Due to the excitement of our conversation, the mic had a few static laughs as well and because our conversations are unscripted and raw, it isn't possible to redo a great conversation. We tried our best to remove the static and muffling of the mic, but alas not much could be done in the end. Please make duaa Allah Azzawajal provides us with a solution soon!
