    #3.5 A Translator's Tale (from The Digital Sisterhood)

    In last week’s episode, The Secret Translators, we told the story of the three white American reverts behind the Saheeh International translation of the Qur’an, and the unique challenges they faced in translating the holy text. But that was only part of the story. This week, we’re sharing an episode from The Digital Sisterhood that digs deeper into the life of one of the translators, Amatullah "AJ" Bentley. There was so much more to than AJ's story than we were able to cover on the episode, and on this episode, Cadar follows up with a different set of questions inspired by a curiosity she noticed on AJ's LinkedIn page. --- CREDITS: Reported by Cadar Mohamud. Produced by Muna Scekomar, with help from assistant producers Nima Harun and Khweya Bezeid. --- A new episode of More Muslim will be out next Wednesday. In the meantime, check out The Digital Sisterhood's latest season, which premiered last week with a story featuring our host, Sohaira Siddiqui: https://pod.link/1562999893/episode/NTYwNzgwMmEtMGUxNS0xMWYxLWE0NDctZDcxZjQ3MjNiYmJj

    #3 The Secret Translators (with The Digital Sisterhood)

    The ‘Saheeh International’ translation is one of the most widely read English versions of the Qur’an. But unlike other famous translations like those by Yusuf Ali and Mohammed Abdel Saleem, the authors of the translation are rarely ever mentioned by name. Until one day, The Digital Sisterhood’s Cadar Mohamud hears a rumor about who actually wrote the mysterious translation: three white revert American women living in Saudi Arabia. CREDITS: Reported by Cadar Mohamud. Produced by Taqwa Sadiq. Edited, sound designed, and composed by Salman Ahad Khan. Fact-checked by Heba Elorbany. Engineering by Alexander Overington. --- This season of More Muslim is powered by Al Mujadilah, a center and mosque for women in Qatar.

    #2 The Nikkah Loophole

    Reporter Tanita Rahmani realizes a small detail—blue ink instead of black on a marriage contract—means her marriage was never legally registered. That revelation sends her on a personal and investigative journey into the legal gray zone where many Muslim marriages exist: recognized by faith, but invisible to the law. From overlooked paperwork in New York to courtroom battles in the UK, this episode unpacks what happens when a nikkah isn’t enough, and asks: who decides if a marriage is a marriage? --- Episode Credits: Reported and produced by Tanita Rahmani. Produced by Najib Aminy and Salman Ahad Khan. Editing by Salman Ahad Khan, with additional editing from Sarah Qari. Fact check by Heba Elorbany. Original Music and sound design by Salman Ahad Khan and Alexander Overington. Engineering by Alexander Overington.

    #1 Side Entrances

    There’s a sentence many Muslim women grow up hearing. “It’s better for women to pray at home.” But what does it mean when the presence of half our community in the most central and sacred space of Muslim life is up for debate? Reporter Taqwa Sadiq traces the evolution of Muslim women's relationship with the mosque, from the prophetic era when women prayed alongside men without barriers, to today's reality where many mosques relegate women to basement closets, behind opaque partitions, or turn them away entirely. --- Episode Credits: Reported and Produced by Taqwa Sadiq. Editing by Salman Ahad Khan. Additional editing by Sarah Qari. Fact check by Heba Elorbany. Original music by Salman Ahad Khan and Alexander Overington. Sound design and engineering by Alexander Overington. Hosted by Sohaira Siddiqui. Production support from Rabia Bushra, Sania Ruhi, and Sarah Thiab. Special thanks to Maha Saud Al-Khalifa, Talia Augustidis, Yassmin Abdel-Mageid, and all the women who shared their voices on this episode and shared their stories on the Side Entrance blog. --- This season is powered by Al-Mujadilah Center and Mosque for Women in Qatar.
