Raising Visionary Leaders | Dr Sajid Umar | 092

For this episode, we have a conversation with one of our favourite teachers, Sheikh Dr. Sajid Umar, on what it takes to Raise Visionary Leaders. We discuss: ✅ COVID - making the best out of our circumstances to be proactive ✅ What does it mean like to have a vision? What does being a "visionary" look like, from an Islamic perspective? ✅ How can parents raise visionary future leaders, when they are struggling with handling the day to day challenges of parenting their children? ✅ The difference between contemporary self-help concepts of "visionary" versus the Islamic perspective of high aspirations ✅ Basis of decision making: the difference between "good" and "right" ✅ The critical role of tawhid and how it plays a central role of every aspect of our development: Intellectual, emotional and spiritual intelligence. We initially titled this as "Raising Visionary Youth", but seeing how Dr. Sajid addresses this topic on a deeper, broader, level that impacts the concept of vision and high aspirations on a more personal, and simultaneously larger perspective. Being a Visionary begins with OURSELVES first - and ultimately, it's not about youth, but about leaders: the change that the umah needs!

Nurturing Emotional Intelligence | 087

Through these modern times in the 21st century, emotional intelligence (often referred to as EQ) is often regarded as a superpower that can supercharge our Relationship building, stronger personal resilience, effective leadership, fostering collaboration, personal development, adaptability, empathy, and even in influencing others, and is often viewed as one of the crucial ingredients for long-term success, both personally and professionally. But really, what IS emotional intelligence? How do we view Emotional Intelligence from the perspective of Islam? Is it compatible with the teachings of the Qur'an and Sunnah? Is it really that important? Furthermore, with thousands of books, articles, courses, seminars on this subject matter, there are no shortage of "experts" weighing in on the subject, sometimes providing conflicting advice, or those suspiciously contradicting our Islamic values. To enlighten us on this inspiring subject, we go for a deep dive conversation with brother Muhammad Javed, author of the book, "Nurturing Emotional Intelligence", published recently in 2023 by Dakwah Corner Bookstore.

When Will The Help of Allah Come? Thoughts on G4z@ & What We Can Do | 086

Since October 2023, the world has witnessed the horrors of the gen0cide and mass murders taking place in Pale$tine, specifically in G@za. As we speak, isr@el has killed more than 37,000 civilians - mostly women and children - in addition to over 80,000 severely injured. In an unprecedented act of violence, isr@el has dropped over 70,000 tons of bombs on the strip, exceeding World War 2 bombings in Dresden, Hamburg and London combined. Despite gaining notorious attention from all over the world, with international communities negatively labelling isr@el’s actions as ethnic cleansing & gen0cide, and multiple peaceful attempts at a ceasefire, there seems to be no end in sight for the atrocities being committed against the people of Pale$tine, including civilians in the West B@nk, which is particularly painful for us Muslims, as we witness the crimes perpetrated on the holy ground of Al-Aqsa. With these horrific acts, many around the world are forced to watch in horror. Some questioning God, wondering “where is the Help of Allah”? Why is He allowing these to take place? Why aren’t the nations stepping up to stop this violence? And after 8 months of non-stop horror, some have lost hope, or even start to feel jaded as if they can no longer be bothered. In this episode of the Barakah Effect, join us as we discuss: What should we do, as Muslims? What is our attitude in facing this situation, as we helplessly watch our brothers and sisters being massacred in these holy lands? What role do we have to play, and how do we understand this in the right perspective to see it from the Wisdom of Allah?
