In this episode, Mohammed and Jawad dive into their experiences with Ramadan this year compared to previous years and reflect on how this month should be spent. How do we make the most of our time in Ramadan? If I'm working full-time, how can I ensure I meet all my spiritual goals?

On Episode 5 of the Grateful Graduates Podcast, we discuss the topic that everyone cannot stop talking about once they reach young adulthood. Yes... We're talking about marriage. It seems to be on everyone's mind the moment they realise those around them are getting married, starting families and settling down. Many of us wish to get married and want our marriages to last yet are struggling on how to approach the matter from the very start.
What if I mess up? What if I choose the wrong person? How do I approach someone I want to get to know? Can I afford marriage? What are the rights of a spouse? Am I ready?
These are all questions we dive into on this episode. Listen in as we advise you on what we believe is the best course of action for you and what you should be doing to prepare yourself for the huge leap. And yes, we will also be discussing the infamous 50k mahr 👀
Mohammed was a bit ill at the time this episode was recorded which is why he sounds like he's dying. But he's fine don't worry.

On Episode 3 of the Grateful Graduates Podcast, we dive into the topic of companionship and friendship. With the start of the new academic year, many people are starting university and college in a town/city completely new to them. They don't know anyone and the question of how they will choose the right people to spend their academic year with ponders their mind. How do you make friends? What does it mean to be a friend? How do our friendship circles influence our behaviour and attitudes? What does Islam say about keeping good companions?

On Episode 2 of Grateful Graduates, we discuss all things social media.
What makes social media different? In what ways does social media benefit us? In what ways can it harm us? Controversial figures have recently been banned from social media for sharing toxic and dangerous messages to their audience. In a world where almost everything is digital, it is important to know the ins and outs of what is deemed safe. And most importantly, where to draw the line when it comes to sharing content on social media.
Join us in this episode where we share our opinions on this important topic with some genuine advice and light-hearted humour! 😄
