    The Real Costs of Running a Mosque

    Send a text Do you know where your Jummah donation actually goes? The answer might surprise you. In this episode of the MotivateMe313 Podcast, we go behind the scenes of the American Moslem Society to uncover the real costs of keeping a masjid open in 2026. From the shocking monthly overhead bills to the misconceptions about fundraising, we are breaking down the business side of running a spiritual center. We also dive into the challenges of modern mosque leadership: balancing security threats with being a welcoming space, the pressure on Imams to act as "unofficial therapists," and the debate over whether the masjid should be a "third space" for coffee and remote work. Our guests are AMS board members Yousaf Mohamed, Ahmed Alizzi and Mahdi Ali. If you’ve ever wondered why the masjid is always fundraising or what happens behind closed doors at board meetings, this episode is for you.  IN THIS EPISODE: 0:00 - Intro: The Reality of Running a Masjid  02:15 - History & Mission: The American Moslem Society  08:30 - Busting Myths: Misinformation About Masjids  14:45 - The Truth About Donations & Fundraising  21:00 - Shocking Overhead Costs: Keeping the Lights On  27:30 - Security vs. Open Doors: A Modern Dilemma  34:15 - The "Third Space" Debate: Coffee Shop or Prayer Hall?  40:00 - Managing Diversity: When Congregants Disagree  45:30 - Imams as Therapists: Mental Health Crisis 52:00 - Future Projects & Community Goals  58:00 - Final Word to the Community SUBSCRIBE TO OZ MEDIA: Support independent media in the 313!

    Community Development Through Education

    Send a text Does it really "take a village" to raise a child? In this episode of the OZ Media’s MotivateMe313 podcast, we dive deep into the concept of Global Educational Excellence and how true learning goes far beyond the classroom walls. We explore how schools can become the heartbeat of community development, moving from isolated institutions to hubs of growth, equity, and partnership. Whether you are an educator, a parent, or a community leader, this conversation challenges the status quo of modern schooling.

In This Episode, We Cover: Defining Excellence: Why test scores are a bad metric for true community success.The "Whole Child": Balancing academic standards with empathy, resilience, and character building.Community Co-Design: Moving from simply informing parents to actively building the curriculum with them.Equity & Inclusion: Addressing the poverty and healthcare gaps that affect learning before the bell even rings.Future-Proofing: Practical steps we can take today to integrate schools and neighborhoods.

  4. Is Classism in the Community Ruining Islamic Marriages?

    Is Classism in the Community Ruining Islamic Marriages?

    Send a text It is the elephant in the room that breaks countless hearts: You find the perfect person—religious, educated, successful—but the family says "No" because of their last name. In this episode, we sit down with Sheikh Mohamed Ishtiaq to tackle the taboo subject of the "class system" in our community. Is rejecting a suitor based on lineage or tribal status actually valid in the eyes of Allah? Or is it just culture disguised as religion? We dive deep into the Quranic perspective on compatibility, the "spinster crisis" facing our youth, and whether parents are protecting their daughters or just their own reputations. If you are struggling with family pressure or just want to understand the reality of marriage in the West today, this conversation is for you. Topics & Questions Covered:  The Class System: Why do we still stick to "classes" in marriage in 2026?    Lineage vs. Wealth: Is it just about bloodlines, or can money change your status?  Culture vs. Quran: How do we square classism with the verse "The most noble of you is the most righteous"? (49:13)    Valid Rejections: Is it a sin for a father to reject a religious man solely because of his tribe/class?    Broken Hearts: Advice for compatible couples (doctors, engineers) torn apart by family prejudice.    The Marriage Crisis: Is this system causing the delay in marriage we see in the community?    For the Parents: Are you protecting honor or prioritizing reputation over happiness?    The Solution: What should you actually look for in a spouse?
