    What Muslims MISUNDERSTAND About Wealth and Success | Omar DaCosta-Shahid

    For most Muslims, faith sits on one side and work sits on the other. In this OnePath Podcast, Omar DaCosta-Shahid argues that the separation is a recent invention, and that asking whether your income is halal is only the beginning of the question. If more than half of our waking life is spent working, what does it mean to make that work an act of worship? We explore why the ethical order of no harm first, then benefit, then profit, is the exact reverse of how most businesses operate, what the classical Islamic literature on trade and earning actually says, whether behaving ethically really costs you money, and how the Prophetic model of trade followed by withdrawal applies to a life of relentless deadlines. The conversation also turns to the harder questions. Does wealth change people for the better or the worse? Why do brands stay silent on Gaza? And is any of this just a spiritual pacifier for capitalism? Omar DaCosta-Shahid is an entrepreneur, public speaker and educator who specialises in integrating Islamic spiritual principles with modern business practice. He studies classical works on earning and trade with scholars in the UK and Malaysia, and has completed a two-year part-time group study in Islamic finance with Mufti Faraz Adam (“The Messenger’s Money Morals”). Before this he advised Fortune 500 companies on the Muslim market and worked as a journalist for The Guardian, The Times, The Independent and the New Statesman, writing on religion and politics. He founded the Muslim Influencer Network in 2017 and now runs Spirituality of Business, a platform built on the premise of business as a path to God. He is a Forbes 30 Under 30 listee and has been named among the UK's most influential Muslims in media. Support the show

    How Muslims Fought the Apartheid in South Africa | Shaykh Abdurragmaan Khan

    Shaykh Abdurragmaan Khan is one of South Africa's most prominent Islamic scholars, serving as imam and Director of Dar al-Turāth al-Islāmi (DTI) and co-founder of the Maḥabbah Foundation. A hafidh and Mufti on the Muslim Judicial Council of South Africa, he trained under some of the most respected names in the Islamic tradition, including Habib Umar bin Hafiz and Shaykh Muhammad Taha Karan. His scholarship bridges the deep roots of South African Islam — a community shaped by centuries of history and forged through the trials of apartheid — with the classical learning of Yemen's scholarly tradition. Today he is a leading voice on dawah, Islamic jurisprudence, and preparing the next generation of Muslims to navigate a rapidly changing world. Shaykh Abdurragmaan Khan traces Cape Town's Muslim community from its origins with exiled scholars like Shehu Yusuf, who led resistance against the Dutch East India Company before being brought to the Cape in chains, through three centuries of colonial rule and apartheid, to today. He describes how weekly dhikr gatherings functioned as a community-wide parenting system that held families and faith together under persecution, and reflects on the largely untold role Muslims played resisting apartheid alongside Mandela. He shares his own story growing up in South Africa as the son of a well-known rugby player, and how his path led him to Yemen to study under Habib Umar bin Hafiz and Shaykh Muhammad Taha Karan — including what that experience taught him about staying high-spirited through hardship. Returning home, he speaks to the real challenges of applying what he learned abroad in a South African context, what makes a dawah project actually succeed, and the difference between preaching Islam and living it so that character alone becomes the invitation.
