SERIES: Sex Positive Muslim Family: Hot Takes on "Halal Dating"
Y'all know what FEBRUARY means on this podcast: love, sex, and all the stuff we would never discuss in public, but feel safe listening to on a podcast. Whether you listen in private or with a partner, I'm so glad you're here for it. This month's series is "Sex Positive Muslim Family," and I'll go blue in the face asking us to create one.Never been on a halal date? Turns out, most of us have, whether we were old school or modern arranged, met through friends, or online. It's not the oxymoron it first sounded like to an old fogey like me. I challenge listeners to expand our vocabulary and thoughts, but I share all of your "haram reservations." Let's get uncomfortable together.Mariam Afzal helps redefine "dating" for Generations X and Alpha, bringing home the message that all of it can look and be halal if we, as parents, create safe spaces for our kids. That means holding honest conversations, setting boundaries, and maybe chilling out and remembering that we are not to raise our children as we were raised. Biding the advice of Ali (RA), our children are for a different world, as we were for ours. So let's see how we can navigate this precarious future and keep it halal.Dating, rebellion, parenting genders, birth order, too....we avoided deep dives to stay on track, but I'm sure there will be a couple of new series coming just out of this one episode. Share the link with a friend, and post your craziest halal dating story in the comments.Links:Halal Dating by Salams AppMuslim Youth & Premarital SexHalf Our DeenWatch Muslim Matchmaker on HuluDid you know you can send us a text?

Mommying While Muslim is a one of a kind podcast where American born and bred Muslim moms share their experiences to raise second generation kids. Having experienced both pre and post 9/11 America, they're acutely aware of the unique challenges their families face on top of the regular messes that all moms share. Mommying While Muslim is a space to take back their stories, and tell those no one will air on the news or portray fully or fairly in the media. Host Uzma Jafri is mom first, careerwoman second, and global citizen at heart. She meets taboo topics head on because she wasn't allowed to do it growing up, not at home or at school and work. Her aim is to better her immediate household, community, and her momsisterhood the world over by telling the truths sometimes people don't want to face or to hear. Not everyone has these privileges, and she is eager to learn as well as share her own experiences. Always looking to give back, MWM finds women and families who need a mic because no one needs a voice; they just need an opportunity to speak. Besides tough social issues, MWM tackles political ones because when laws affect kids, we're coming for them as well as the ones who make them! There's no lane that doesn't get taken here. Along the way, MWM recruits momallies for Muslim Americans who have been inordinately targeted for the last 20 years. True moms know that ALL our children deserve to be safe, loved, and happy, and we bust every yellow brick on the Islamaphobic road to make sure they all are. If you like good trouble, this one's for you!
