From teenage “OG” creator to historian, Arabic teacher, and family man, Musa Adnan returns after six years for a real catch-up on growth, studying, and sincerity. We talk about choosing academia (BA + MA in History) while doubling down on Islamic studies and Arabic, why Arabic is the master key that unlocks every other science, and how teaching accelerates learning.

0:22.6

six years ago

0:24.0

I remember, you know, just like off the top of my head, it was pre-studies. I remember you telling me that you were thinking or you were going to go into studying history is pre-studies. You were actually quite like anti-study actually like back there. Before that it was, you it was pre-arabic fluency so i think like

0:40.2

there we were at one point even in the same institute you were like yeah you were like the higher

0:46.9

um the more advanced in the class but still like not at a point of fluency yeah. And you kind of, like, seemed to not know where you were going to go, right? There was the content-crate side, then there was the Dari side. Yes. And there was, like, obviously, now the studying and stuff like that.

like that um you're also always creating some kind of content and there were times where you
