The one with Dilly Hussain

What does it take to stand by your convictions when the world challenges everything you believe in? And what happens when the very voice that gives you purpose also comes with a price? In this upcoming episode of The Interview with H, I sit down with Dilly Hussain, co-founder of 5Pillars, editor at 1Nation Media and host of Blood Brothers, for a deeply personal conversation about faith, identity, courage, justice, sacrifice and the responsibility of having a voice. Known for his outspoken views, challenging conversations and willingness to confront difficult issues, Dilly has become a recognisable voice in Muslim media. But beyond the headlines, the debates and the public persona… Who is the man behind the microphone? We explore the experiences that shaped him. The convictions that drive him. The challenges of speaking out when silence might be easier. The sacrifices that come with standing for what you believe in. The emotional weight of witnessing injustice. And the personal battles that the world never gets to see. What shapes a man who refuses to remain silent? Where does conviction end and responsibility begin? How do you fight for justice without losing yourself in the process? And in a world where everyone has an opinion, how do we distinguish between simply having a voice and using that voice with purpose? We speak about Muslim identity, the power of media, the struggles facing our Ummah, brotherhood, masculinity and the importance of remaining grounded in faith when the world around us feels increasingly divided. Because perhaps courage isn’t always about speaking louder. Perhaps it’s about standing firm when standing alone would be easier. Perhaps strength isn’t measured by how fiercely we defend our beliefs, but by how willing we are to question ourselves, remain humble and grow. And perhaps the greatest test of conviction isn’t what we are prepared to say in front of the world… But who we remain when the cameras are switched off, the applause fades and we are left alone with our conscience and Allah. A conversation that goes beyond journalism, activism and public opinion. A conversation about the experiences that shape us, the principles that guide us and the legacy we hope to leave behind. Because behind every strong voice is a human story. And sometimes, understanding that story changes the way we hear the voice.

The one with Saadiyah

What happens when you have everything you thought you needed, yet somewhere along the way, you lose yourself? In this episode of The Interview with H, I sit down with Saadiyah, personal development coach, speaker and founder of The Empowered Path, for a deeply personal conversation about heartbreak, faith, self-worth, surrender and finding purpose through pain. We explore the moments that shatter us. The emptiness we hide behind seemingly perfect lives. The validation we seek from others. The things we unknowingly place above Allah. And the heartbreak that sometimes becomes our greatest awakening. Saadiyah shares how a life-changing experience led her to question everything she believed about happiness, identity and the meaning of hardship. If Allah loves us, why does He test us? What if the pain we desperately want to escape is sometimes the very experience that transforms us? We speak about letting go of people-pleasing, rebuilding self-worth, correcting our intentions and learning to surrender what we cannot control. Because perhaps healing isn’t about becoming who you were before the heartbreak. Perhaps it’s about discovering who you were always meant to become. And perhaps the greatest transformation isn’t what changes around us… but what changes within our hearts. A conversation about the trials that humble us, the faith that anchors us and the beauty of finding our way back to Allah. 🎙️ Coming soon on The Interview with H 🎧 The one with Saadiyah — S3•E11 This is The Interview with H.

The one with Ismail Dhorat

What happens when the life you planned, the things you chased and even the person you thought you were begin to change?In this episode of The Interview with H, I sit down with Ismail Dhorat for a deeply personal conversation that traces his journey across a timeline of life, loss, business, fatherhood, faith, failure and becoming.We go back to where it all began — growing up in Stanger, losing his mother young, the influence of his father, his early fascination with technology and entrepreneurship, and a journey through education, business and leadership that was anything but linear.But we also go where timelines don’t.We speak about the moments that shake us.The failures that humble us.The closed doors that redirect us.The beliefs we inherit — and the ones we eventually have to examine for ourselves.We question the pressure to “find yourself.”Whether we have become obsessed with finding one perfect purpose.And what happens when we stop asking, “Have I figured out my entire life?” and start asking a far more important question:“Am I facing the right direction?”Ismail speaks about his own journey of reorientation — learning to rectify intention, surrender control, live forward into Qadr and continually redirect the heart towards what truly matters.Because perhaps becoming isn’t one defining moment.Perhaps it is a lifetime of correcting our direction.Of learning.Unlearning.Falling.Rebuilding.And choosing, again and again, what deserves our heart.This is a conversation about meaning, faith, leadership, relationships and the human being behind the work.And perhaps the greatest measure of growth isn’t how much your life has changed on the outside…but how much your heart has changed along the way.

The one with Shiraz & Ferzaana

What happens when two people, each carrying an entire lifetime of experiences, lessons, struggles and successes, come together — and decide to build the next chapter side by side? In this episode of The Interview with H, I sit down with Shiraz and Ferzaana for a conversation that goes far beyond marriage and business.Because before there was their story, there were two very different stories of their own. Ferzaana takes us back to the young woman who was told she couldn’t attend university after matric — and the determination that made her find another way. From building her own accounting practice to mentoring entrepreneurs and creating businesses, hers is a story of refusing to allow one closed door to determine the rest of her life. Shiraz’s journey has moved through business, Islamic media, humanitarian work and community — even taking him into Syria during the conflict, where witnessing life at its most fragile changed his perspective on what truly matters. And then, life brought their stories together.We speak about finding companionship later in life, bringing two already-formed individuals into one marriage, working alongside your spouse, navigating differences and building something meaningful together. But we also go where titles don’t.We speak about faith.The seasons that shape us.The experiences that humble us.What hardship teaches us about ourselves. And whether sometimes what feels like a detour in life is actually leading us exactly where we need to be.There is business. There is marriage. There is laughter. But beneath it all is a conversation about resilience, purpose, service, faith — and the courage to keep beginning again. Because perhaps life isn’t about getting everything right the first time. Perhaps it’s about what you choose to build with everything life has taught you.

THE INTERVIEW WITH H ❌ AMIR MALIK

Sometimes the greatest disruption isn’t changing the game… it’s changing who gets to believe they belong in it. Golf may be the platform. But this story is about so much more. Amir Malik is the Founder and CEO of the Muslim Golf Association — a movement that began with a simple idea and has grown across the UK, USA and South Africa. But beyond the championships, international recognition and global expansion is a deeper story. What does it take to walk into a space where your community has rarely seen itself represented — and decide not simply to fit in, but to create a new way in? In this upcoming episode of The Interview with H, we go beyond the Muslim Golf Association to uncover the man behind the movement. We talk about where Amir’s story began. The experiences that shaped him. The moment an idea became a mission. The sacrifices behind building something from the ground up. The pressure that comes with carrying a vision bigger than yourself. And the role faith has played in navigating ambition, purpose and responsibility. From introducing thousands of Muslim women to golf, to opening the sport to young Muslims through schools, to pioneering concepts such as Golf Umrah and the Race to Makkah — Amir’s journey challenges the idea of who certain spaces were built for. Because sometimes inclusion isn’t about asking for a seat at an existing table. Sometimes it’s about building a new table — and making sure the door stays open for those coming behind you. This isn’t just a conversation about golf. It’s about identity. Belonging. Faith. Courage. Representation. And legacy. 🎙️ The one with Amir Malik.

The one with Kate Goliath

What does it take to build something where laughter is the product — but resilience, sacrifice and people are the real business? In this episode of Interview with H, I sit down with Kate Goliath, the woman behind Goliath & Goliath, for a conversation that goes far beyond comedy and the entertainment industry. Because behind the businesswoman, leader, wife and mother is a woman with a story of her own. We go back to where it all began — the people who shaped her, the choices that changed the direction of her life, the risks behind building something of significance and the lessons that came from both success and failure. But we also go where titles don’t. We speak about family and parenthood, the seasons that test us, what keeps us grounded when life becomes difficult, and who we are when we strip away the roles everyone else knows us for. We ask what failure teaches that success sometimes can’t. What pain would say if it could speak. And whether, at the end of it all, we should be chasing reach… or impact. There are laughs — naturally. But there is also vulnerability, reflection and the opportunity to discover Kate beyond Goliath & Goliath. Because sometimes the person helping build the stage, open the doors and create opportunities for everyone else deserves a moment in the spotlight too. And perhaps legacy isn’t about how many people know your name… Perhaps it’s about how many lives are different because you were here. This is The Interview with H. Real stories. Raw conversations.

The one with Bilqees Hassen

What happens when the path you’ve chosen demands almost everything from you — but there are still other parts of you asking to be lived? In Episode 6 of Season 3 of Interview with H, I sit down with final-year medical student, author, speaker and youth advocate Bilqees Hassen, for a conversation about ambition, identity, pressure and finding purpose beyond a single title. At just 23, Bilqees has already walked a journey shaped by extraordinary discipline — completing her Hifdh at 14 as the first girl in her school to do so, achieving eight distinctions in matric, pursuing medicine, and somehow continuing to nurture her love for writing, storytelling and empowering young people along the way. But behind the achievements is a much more human story. Together, we explore the pressure that comes with striving for excellence, the moments of overwhelm people don’t always see, the role of faith and family in keeping her grounded, and why balance isn’t a destination we eventually arrive at — it shifts with every season of our lives. We speak about giving ourselves permission to be multidimensional. To pursue success without losing the things that make us feel alive. And to remember that our careers, achievements and titles may describe what we do — but they don’t define the entirety of who we are. This isn’t just a conversation about a young woman achieving remarkable things. It’s about learning to hold ambition and passion, discipline and creativity, success and kindness — without believing that one has to cancel out the other. Because perhaps a meaningful life isn’t about choosing which part of yourself gets to exist… It’s about making room for all that you were created to become. This is The Interview with H. Real stories. Raw conversations. Inspiring hearts, one voice at a time.

The one with Ziyaad•Nanabhay

What does it truly mean to be a man in a world that often mistakes silence for strength and success for fulfilment? In Episode 5 of Season 3 of Interview with H, I sit down with entrepreneur, bespoke tailor, single father, and men’s health advocate, Ziyaad Nanabhay, for a conversation that reminds us that the strongest men are not those who never struggle—but those who choose to keep growing through it. From leaving behind a successful career in law and banking to building one of South Africa’s foremost bespoke tailoring brands, Ziyaad shares the defining moments that shaped not only the entrepreneur he has become, but the father, leader, and man behind the suit. Together, we explore what it means to redefine masculinity, carry the responsibility of fatherhood, pursue purpose over comfort, embrace discipline without losing compassion, and discover that true strength isn’t found in hiding your struggles—it’s found in having the courage to face them. This isn’t just a conversation about business. It’s about identity, resilience, healing, and becoming the man you were created to be, even when life takes you down a path you never expected. Because sometimes, the greatest legacy isn’t the life you build… It’s the character you leave behind. This is The Interview with H. Real stories. Raw conversations. Inspiring hearts, one voice at a time.
