The Lips With Tips Podcast Iqlas

In today's episode my guest Muna deep dives into her boarding school experience. She described it as a "cult" they weren't allowed any access to the outside world and the school was not accredited. Muna had little to no parental guidance from her mother and she had to learn life on her own, they did not get along as a result. She describes a very heartbreaking experience where her mom hired a man to do Quran saar (Quran reading) and he rubbed acids on her face in order to rid her of any "demons".

In today's super informative episode my guest Maryam speaks about her experience with drug addiction. We discuss the dark side of drug use and the attempts of our community to try to mask the issue instead of facing it head-on. Many young girls and boys are getting kicked out of their homes, and are now on the streets vulnerable because their families want nothing to do with them. We talked about the common reality of young girls having to sell their bodies to old creeps to feed their habit, what the side effects of drug use look like, how to know if your loved on is using, the stigma in our community, and what you can do to help.

Ramadan Mubarak everyone. My wonderful guest this week walks us through her journey to finding Islam and she drove 5 hours to share her story with us! She faced so many trails along the way, she was told she was "only doing it for a man" she felt isolated and judged by her community, she fell into wrong crowds, and was even given an ultimatum to pick between her faith and Islam. I don't want to give away too many details, y'all will have to tune I for that! Follow Zoly on all her platforms: TikTok @nyazoly.t Youtube: LifeofZoly
