There’s a moment in every Muslim’s life when the world feels too loud. Too shiny. Too convincing. When the glitter of the dunya pulls at your sleeves like a child begging for attention, promising joy, promising validation, promising that this is where your worth lives.

In this episode, we go back to one of our earliest reminders, the ayah that uncovers the truth behind it all: “The dunya is nothing but play and amusement.” We walk through the marketplaces of our lives, the curated timelines, the applause, the comparisons, the highlight reels, and explore why the heart keeps reaching for things that never last. We ask why the emptiness lingers even after every goal is achieved, every like is counted, every dream is touched. And we uncover the hidden mercy behind Allah reminding us that this world is temporary: not to scare us, but to free us.

This episode is a soft but necessary wake-up call, a reminder that your soul was made for more than short thrills and disappearing highs. You’re built for depth. For meaning. For eternity.

If you’ve been feeling distracted, lost in the glow of the dunya, or simply tired of chasing things that fade… this one will feel like a deep breath.

🔗 Press play, breathe, and step back into what truly matters.

in the Gen Z & Islam series is the intimate middle chapter, the place where the transformation begins. If the first episode was about awakening, this one is about walking. About taking the first trembling steps toward Allah after years of distraction, culture shock, heartbreak, identity crises, and spiritual amnesia.

In “The Journey,” i talk about the truth, often hidden process young people around the world go through when their hearts begin to turn toward Islam again. The confusion. The fear of judgment. The loneliness of being the only one in your circle changing. The quiet shift from “I’m just curious” to “I can’t imagine life without Allah.”

This episode traces the in-between, the sacred middle stage where the heart softens slowly, secretly, quietly. Where Gen Z Muslims feel the push and pull of dunya versus deen. Where reverts struggle to let go of their past identities, and born Muslims rediscover their faith after losing themselves to modern culture.

You’ll witness the behind-the-scenes experiences inspired by the stories of reverts like Megan Rice, Jay Palfrey, Lauren Booth, Aisha, Andrew Tate, Myriam François, and so many others, the nights they cried, the questions they whispered, the courage it took to say “Allah, guide me.”

This is the part of the journey nobody talks about enough, the internal war between who you were and who you’re becoming.

The doubt.

The surrender.

The slow unlearning.

The painful honesty.

The beautiful rebirth.

Because becoming Muslim, or returning to Islam, isn’t one moment. It’s a thousand small moments where Allah quietly pulls you back to Him.This episode is for every heart in transition… every soul halfway home… every young person trying to find their place between dunya and deen.
