JAISE HI SABZ GUMBAZ NAZAR AAYEGA… 🕌❤️

Some words stay with you long after you’ve heard them.

In my conversation with Nader Khan, a Canadian Islamic devotional artist, singer-songwriter and musicologist, he shares beautiful Urdu poetry about the Green Dome in Madinah.

He talks about how these words connected with a khutbah by Sheikh Hamza and led him to reflect on tears, prayer and our spiritual connection with Allah.

Nader has spent more than 25 years performing Islamic devotional music around the world, but this particular moment is about the power of words and how deeply they can touch someone’s heart.

I want to ask everyone who has visited Madinah…

What was going through your mind when you first saw the Green Dome? 🕌

Was it happiness, tears, peace or something you simply cannot put into words?

And if you haven’t visited Madinah yet, may Allah grant you the opportunity. 🤲

I’d love to hear your personal experiences in the comments. ❤️👇

From KARACHI to LONDON… and suddenly we’re cleaning our own toilets! 🇵🇰🇬🇧😂

Moving to Britain can be a completely different experience from the life you leave behind.

In my conversation with Ayesha Baig, an award-winning international celebrity makeup artist, she remembers the culture shock of moving from Karachi, Pakistan, to London.

From suddenly having to do all the household chores herself to leaving her friends behind and adjusting to a new school, life changed dramatically.

But one of the funniest moments was when her classmates thought she couldn’t speak English because she was so quiet!

When she finally spoke, they were shocked.

“She speaks English?!”

Her response?

“Of course I speak English. I just choose not to talk.” 😂

But here’s something I want to ask British Pakistanis who moved to the UK.

What was the BIGGEST culture shock when you first arrived in Britain?

Was it doing everything yourself, the weather, school, work, leaving family behind or something completely different?

And do you think people in Pakistan sometimes underestimate how much responsibility comes with living abroad?

I’d love to hear your experiences! 👇

Would you leave the UK and move to Oman? 🇬🇧➡️🇴🇲

For British Pakistanis, one of the biggest considerations when moving abroad is staying connected to family in Pakistan.

In my conversation with Abdul Nasir Munir, who moved to Oman, we discuss one of the advantages of living there, its location.

Pakistan is relatively close, and Saudi Arabia is also within reach for Umrah and Hajj. 🕋

Abdul Nasir even mentions flights to Pakistan for around £50! Of course, prices vary depending on the route, airline and travel dates.

But it raises an interesting question.

If you could live somewhere that made visiting Pakistan and travelling for Umrah more convenient, would you seriously consider leaving the UK?

And for British Pakistanis already living in Oman, what has your experience been like? Is it really as convenient as it sounds?

I’d love to hear from people who have made the move and those who are thinking about it. 👇🏽

Imagine growing up with people telling your family that you may never be able to speak, hear or read well.

That’s what Amina Art Ansari says she experienced.

But years later, her progress has surprised even the medical professionals treating her.

A powerful moment from my conversation with Amina on The Majid Khan Podcast.

If you’re the FIRSTBORN in a Pakistani household, you’ll understand this! 🇵🇰😂

Growing up in a Pakistani family, being the eldest child can come with a lot of responsibility.

You’re often expected to look after your younger brothers and sisters, set an example, help your parents and sometimes make decisions well before you’re ready.

But here’s something interesting…

In my conversation with Bakhtaver M., a technology strategist associated with Hijabi Serves, she discusses how firstborn children can develop leadership qualities because they’re given responsibilities from an early age.

It raises an interesting question about Pakistani family life.

Does being the eldest child prepare you to become a leader, or does it simply put too much pressure on you?

I’d particularly like to hear from British Pakistani parents and families.

Were you the eldest child? What was expected of you that your younger siblings never had to do?

And parents — do you think we sometimes expect too much from our firstborn?

Share your experiences below! 👇

Remember when ONE photograph was enough? 📸😂

Today, people have Instagram, Facebook and hundreds of pictures online. But for the older generation, things were very different!

In my conversation with Sophia Khalid, Founder and CEO of British Muslim Marriage, she reflects on how little exposure people had to photographs and social media when she was younger.

Back then, you might only see one picture of someone. Today, you can scroll through someone’s entire social media profile before even meeting them!

But has all this access actually made finding a marriage partner easier?

I’d particularly like to hear from British Pakistanis and British Muslims who got married before social media became popular.

Was it easier to find a suitable husband or wife back then, or do you think today’s generation has more opportunities?

Which generation had it easier when it came to marriage — yours or today’s? 👇

“Pakistani grooming gangs.”

When the same phrase is repeated again and again, can it eventually shape how people see an entire community?

In my conversation with Ashfaq Siddique, Secretary of Al Madina Mosque Barking, he talks about the power of repetition and propaganda and then brings the discussion into the present day.

He questions the repeated use of “Pakistani grooming gangs” and whether constantly attaching ethnicity to these crimes can create a wider narrative about British Pakistanis who have absolutely nothing to do with them.

The crimes themselves are horrific and the victims must never be lost in this discussion. But Ashfaq raises a separate question about language, ethnicity and how narratives are formed.

When is ethnicity relevant when reporting crime — and when does repeatedly emphasising it create a stereotype?

Agree or disagree with Ashfaq, I’m interested in hearing both sides. 👇

Are we sometimes too quick to judge people who have gone down the wrong path?

Ashfaq makes an important point in this conversation.

We don’t always know why someone is where they are or what they’ve been through. And sometimes the first reaction they receive from their parents, family or community can influence what happens next.

Instead of looking down on someone or thinking they’re less than us, perhaps we should be asking:

How can we help them find their way back? ❤️

🎙️ Ashfaq on The Majid Khan Podcast

Do you think our communities sometimes judge people too quickly instead of trying to understand and help them? 👇🏽

Why can remarriage be so difficult for Muslim single mums? ❤️

In my conversation with Sophia Khalid, Founder & CEO of British Muslim Marriage, she talks about Muslim single mothers in their 30s who still want marriage, companionship and someone to share their life with.

Many are working, raising their children and have rebuilt their lives after divorce.

But Sophia says finding a husband can become more complicated when children from a previous marriage are involved, because not everyone is prepared to take on that responsibility.

So I’d like to open this up to the Muslim community, respectfully:

Would you consider marrying a Muslim single mum or single dad who already has children?

And for Muslim single parents who have successfully remarried, what helped you find the right person?

Your experience could genuinely help somebody else going through this. ❤️👇🏽

If a woman has her own career, earns her own money and can stand on her own feet… what is she looking for in a husband? 👀

In my conversation with Sophia Khalid, Founder & CEO of British Muslim Marriage, she talks about what she says she’s hearing from women looking for marriage today.

Some are asking:

“What is the man bringing to the table?”

But Sophia explains that it isn’t necessarily just about money.

They’re looking for a life partner, someone who respects them, supports them and can work with them through life.

So let’s open this up to both men AND women:

What should a husband bring to a marriage?

And equally…

What should a wife bring to a marriage?

I’d particularly like to hear from people who are already married — has your idea of what makes a good husband or wife changed since getting married? 👇
