    Your Family Will Fight Over This? Wills and Inheritance with Ameen Hassan | S4E7

    No will means no control, no say, and no protection for the people you love most. In this episode, we sit down with Ameen Hassan to unpack the uncomfortable discussions about wills, Islamic inheritance law, and why "I'll sort it out later" is the most dangerous statement to make.September is Wills Month and October is Financial Planning Month in South Africa and so there's no better time to ask yourself: is your family protected, or are they set up for a Royal Rumble over your estate?We cover it all: is your nikah even legally recognized? Why does a son inherit more than a daughter? Can a "disobedient" child be cut out? And what happens to your business when you're gone? Ameen breaks down the Quranic law of inheritance, the legal traps South African Muslims fall into, and the practical steps you need to take today, not "someday."This episode is proudly sponsored by Standard Bank Shariah — visit www.standardbank.co.za/shariahbanking for more information.

    The Business of Humanitarian Aid with Ismail Safi | S4E6

    In this episode, we sit down with Ismail Safi, Director of Programs in USA with 15 years of experience across 36 countries, having managed development portfolios worth over $250 million with USAID, the World Bank, and international NGOs,  to talk about what really happens behind the scenes of global charity work. We go there: growing up in a refugee camp, refugees and economic migrants, where your donations actually end up, why admin costs differ, and whether cash donations are helping or hurting the people they're meant to serve. We also dig into how interntional NGOs provide aid in South Africa and what Americans really think about SA. If you've ever wondered whether your donation is making a difference or just funding a machine this conversation will challenge everything you assumed.

    Who Broke South Africa? with Darren Campher | S4E5

    Cape Town is one of the most unequal cities in the most unequal country on earth and it's not by accident. Someone designed it that way, and some still profit from it.  In this episode, content creator and researcher, Darren Campher joins us to ask the question every politician dodges: who actually broke South Africa  and who's still breaking it? We go there, spatial apartheid that never left, a property market built to keep people out, BEE policies that may be enriching the few instead of the many, and why "blame apartheid" might be divisive in South African politics. Then we get personal: why the MK, capitalistism, socialism, or something in between and what would it actually take to fix this country? Agree, disagree, or furious? Good.

    With Carvin H Goldstone in the building, we dive into comedy, politics, culture, and the crazy realities of South Africa.

    "Free" Sabeelillah - Ramadan Feasts, Broke Imams & Rich Influencers | Down The Rabbit Hole | E8

    What does “fee sabeelillah” really mean today . From the discussion around Sunnah vs Arab cultural dress, to how Ramadan sometimes shifts from spiritual discipline to feast culture, we explore how religion, perception, and modern society collide. We talk about the growing divide between religious and secular knowledge, why many Imams remain underpaid despite carrying enormous responsibility, and the expectations placed on people asked to work “for Allah.” Do we expect Imams and community workers to serve for free, yet question admin costs when charities try to operate professionally? We also dive into influencer culture and fundraising: why personalities often attract more trust than institutions, how visibility shapes donations, and what this means for sincerity, accountability, and impact. Along the way, we confront difficult questions about charity systems, transparency, and the economics behind good intentions before widening the conversation to broader societal controversies shaping public discourse today. 🎙️ Full episode live now. 🎧 Down The Rabbit Hole | Episode 8👉 Subscribe for more 📲 Available on YouTube, Spotify, Apple Podcasts & all major platforms 00:00 Intro 03:00 Sunnah vs Arab Dress 08:00 Ramadan & Feasting 13:30 Religious & Secular Knowledge 17:30 Imams are underpaid 22 00 Free Sabeelillah 26:00 Influencers & Fundraising 32:30 Admin costs 44:22 Epstein Files
