They BETRAYED Muslims for Money?!?!
HAPPY THURSDAY COUSINS!!!!Welcome back to another brand new episode! Belated Eid Mubarak cousins!!!!! We have a jam-packed episode this week! Sara went to Hassan Phills' "This Tour is Jokes" show and it was amazing! Ma sha Allah he's killing it and we're so proud of him! Next we spoke about Salams (a Muslim marriage app) being sold to a z!0 CEO...disappointed is an understatement. With the state of the world, it's hard to remain optimistic and hopeful but this is a reminder to ourselves first and foremost - always remember to have faith in Allah. Everything happens for a reason, good or bad, we just have to do our best to continue to have faith and move forward. Also...Americans, we know your situation's a little bit of a sticky one stilllllll so we welcome you with open arms, I guess.

Are We Banned From The USA?!
HAPPY THURSDAY COUSINS!!!!Welcome back to another brand new episode! Lots going on in the world (as usual) and you know we do our best to talk about the major events. The U$@ is definitely going a little crazy (we're looking at you Orange Man...you did this!). If you didn't think so before, it's very clear now that it is not safe for anyone who lives in or is visiting the South of the border. But despite that...we're still talking about it and potentially risking our security lol but we trust in Allah so we'll be fine. Amir also covered the verse of the week and we spoke about being humble and having patience during tough times and understanding that the hardships and good times are all temporary; what remains is our faith in Allah. As we're now within the last 10 days, we want to remind ourselves first that we should try our best to do as many good deeds to really take advantage of the multiplied rewards during Ramadan and the chance at catching Laylatul Qadr (may Allah accept our fasts, du'ahs and prayers - Aameen!). While you're at it, don't forget to pray for the oppressed people (P@le$tine, Sudan, Yemen, Uyghurs, etc)!

The Tiktokification of Ramadan
HAPPY THURSDAY COUSINS!!!!Welcome back to another brand new episode! Listen...we know consistency hasn't been our strong suit recently, but we're trying okay?! Anyways, we're back and playing a little bit of catch up with yall! How's your Ramadan going? We're now officially in the last 10 days, time to lock in everybody! We ask that Allah grants us all the strength and ability to perform our obligations and extra acts of worship and that He accepts our du'ahs, fasts and prayers. This week we spoke about feeling unmotivated during Ramadan and how to navigate through those feelings, we also discussed our different iftar routines -- what does yours look like? We also touched on the fact that Ramadan is trending on social media again this year and while we have our thoughts, we're not trying to take a stab at anyone in particular, so don't even try it lol. On the bright side, Ramadan is being recognized and normalized which can be seen as a good thing so a win is a win lol...next step...making Eid an actual holiday from work/school! We also discussed the Qur'an verse of the week -- if you've got one, please share in the comments! And we ended off the episode by talking about Trump's tariff war and how to be a conscious consumer.

Stalkers, AI Takeover & A Messy Election
HAPPY THURSDAY COUSINS!!!!Welcome back to another brand new episode!In this episode, we kick things off with a heartfelt explanation of what happened in last week's episode before diving into Sara's traumatic week...she might have a stalker, anesthesia doesn't seem to work on her, and we reminisce about payphones and our first cell phones. Then, we get into the serious stuff: what's happening in the USA, America's plan for Gaza, and why our latest election changed…absolutely nothing. Plus, Amir tells us a bit about his first Ramadan as a married man, Sara is finally embracing AI, and what we actually plan to do this Ramadan.If you'd like to hear us discuss a specific topic, DM us on IG or leave a comment on our video!Thank you guys so much for always rocking with us!
