SIX MUSLIM PODCAST FOR YOUR PLAYLIST

Reading is a great way to learn the deen, however, it does not come easily to everyone. A good alternative to supplement your learning is listening to Muslim Podcast.

Compiling this list has been exhaustive because there are so many beneficial podcasts online. In our age and time, we need to thank Allah (SWT) for making knowledge easily accessible to us. Today, with our smartphones, we are able to study the deen and improve on our ibaadah (worship). Alhamdullilah

I enjoy listening to these six Muslim podcasts and I recommend adding them to your playlist.

1. Smart Muslima by Farhat Amin

Farhat Amin’s podcast focuses on issues relating to Muslim Women. She invites guests on the show to discuss topics such as, Hijab, feminism, liberalism, confidence, marriage amongst others. This is a go to podcast for Muslim women to have a better understanding of current topics that somehow affect certain choices they make in life. 

2. Mindful Muslima Speaks

This Muslim podcast discusses personal growth, parenting, love and relationships, life hacks for women. While many resources discuss career for Muslim women, this is a beneficial podcast for Muslim women looking at balancing motherhood, marriage and the deen.

3. Ilmfeed Podcast
