👉 Faisal's parenting seminar: https://parenting.faisal.live
Faisal reflects on the passing of our brother Abdul Latif (Lats): the kind of person whose good character didn't just affect his friends… it affected people who never even met him. We talk about what that says about the power of uplifting energy, why people's tongues speaking well of you after you're gone matters, and the reminder his death gives all of us: prepare to meet Allah.
From there, the conversation shifts into a surprisingly practical (and very relatable) topic: parenting.
Faisal breaks down a simple quadrant that explains why "high love + high discipline" beats every other style, why routine creates safety for kids, and how parents can be firm without being harsh. There are real examples too: bedtime routines, not repeating yourself, apologies, guest etiquette, and the tiny habits that shape a child's character.
We end with a debate on homeschooling vs school, Islamic online schooling, socialisation myths, and what structure actually looks like in real family life.
And yes: Freshly Grounded Live UK Tour 2026 is officially happening (London, Birmingham + more cities to be announced). It's just days before Ramadan, come "check in" with us and get yourself in Ramadan mode.
