In a world obsessed with "bigger, faster, more" - Shaykh Abid Khan brings the conversation back to what's right in front of us: your character, your discipline, and your immediate responsibilities. We also get practical: how to track your time, how shayṭān's "entry points" can be as unique as a fingerprint, and why being in the company of scholars and mentors matters more (not less) in the AI era — plus how specialists (like creators, founders, and technologists) also have a responsibility to learn the Islamic principles relevant to their field. This one is a reset. A recalibration. And we definitely need a Part 2. 👉 Join FG Premium: https://fgtribe.com 👉 Hot Food Distribution in Gza: https://launchgood.com/freshlygrounded 📧 Freshly Grounded Newsletter: https://tribe.freshlygrounded.com/subscribe 💪 Buy The Game: https://shop.freshlygrounded.com ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- ✉️ Contact Us • Instagram: http://instagram.com/Freshly_Grounded • E-mail: [email protected] ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ The views expressed by our guests do not necessarily reflect the views of Freshly Grounded or its hosts.

👉 Faisal's mentorship: freshlygrounded.com/mentorship 👉 Free ebook: https://identity.desqy.com This solo episode breaks down the dilemma so many Muslims face today: we want more freedom, more family time, more control over our schedule, but we don't want to chase trends, compromise our values, or become "influencers" for the algorithm. After 15 years in content creation and leading marketing for a global Muslim app, I'm sharing the simple middle ground I believe solves it: YouTube. I explain why short-form content burns you out, why YouTube lets your videos compound for years, how search-based content brings the right people straight to you, and why long-form is the fastest way to build trust and real income without losing your dīn. If you're a barber, therapist, designer, chiropractor, mechanic, or any expert with knowledge worth sharing — this episode shows you how to turn that into ethical online income without dancing, acting, or compromising who you are. May Allah put barakah in your efforts, protect your intentions, and make your income a means of drawing closer to Him. 👉 Join FG Premium: https://fgtribe.com 👉 Hot Food Distribution in Gza: https://launchgood.com/freshlygrounded 📧 Freshly Grounded Newsletter: https://tribe.freshlygrounded.com/subscribe 💪 Buy The Game: https://shop.freshlygrounded.com ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- ✉️ Contact Us • Instagram: http://instagram.com/Freshly_Grounded • E-mail: [email protected] ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ The views expressed by our guests do not necessarily reflect the views of Freshly Grounded or its hosts.

Kaya and Faisal break down the rise of a Muslim founder whose AI company is now valued at $3B—from coding in a Jordanian internet café and getting rejected by YC four times… to building a browser-based IDE in 2016, then pivoting into agentic AI that codes, debugs, and deploys while you sleep. We pull out the real lessons: grit over hype, "die on the path," and why building within halal limits brings barakah (with cautionary stories about riba). We also spotlight MENSPIRE, a global barbershop chain built on Muslim values (no music, no gossip, family-safe) that still scaled—proof you can build infrastructure for the community without compromising. Plus: dopamine from doing (not doom-scrolling), showing up daily, and being agile like water when markets shift. 👉 Join FG Premium: https://fgtribe.com 👉 Hot Food Distribution in Gza: https://launchgood.com/freshlygrounded 📧 Freshly Grounded Newsletter: https://tribe.freshlygrounded.com/subscribe 💪 Buy The Game: https://shop.freshlygrounded.com ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- ✉️ Contact Us • Instagram: http://instagram.com/Freshly_Grounded • E-mail: [email protected] ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ The views expressed by our guests do not necessarily reflect the views of Freshly Grounded or its hosts.

👉 Join Our Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/freshlygrounded Faisal sits down with Ilker Abak, a Muslim psychologist from Melbourne, to dive deep into the world of psychology, therapy, and emotional well-being. Together they unpack what clinical psychology actually is, why therapy carries so much stigma, and how emotions like anger, jealousy, and stress can be understood rather than suppressed. Ilker shares powerful insights on: 👉 The difference between therapy and Islamic guidance, and where they overlap. 👉 Why identifying emotions is harder than most people think. 👉 The role of childhood in shaping adulthood and why your past doesn’t have to define you. 👉 Anger, avoidance, and the triggers we often mislabel. 👉 Addiction, including the taboo around pornography, and how to break the destructive cycle. 👉 Marriage, parenting, and learning the skill of “fighting fair” in relationships. Most importantly, Ilker highlights the need to demystify therapy, showing that it’s not just about “telling someone how you feel” but about building real strategies for a balanced and meaningful life, all while staying rooted in faith. 👉 The Ground (Football Podcast): @TheGroundPod 👉 Hot Food Distribution in Gza: https://launchgood.com/freshlygrounded 📧 Freshly Grounded Newsletter: https://tribe.freshlygrounded.com/subscribe 💪 Buy The Game: https://shop.freshlygrounded.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ✉️ Contact Us • Instagram: http://instagram.com/Freshly_Grounded • E-mail: [email protected] ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ The views expressed by our guests do not necessarily reflect the views of Freshly Grounded or its hosts.

👉 LIVE EVENT TIX: https://fg.live In this deeply inspiring episode, we sit down with Qur’an teacher and content creator Ibi Idris, who shares a story that will change the way you think about discipline, legacy, and your relationship with the Qur’an. Ibi opens up about how he memorised the Qur’an as a child, forgot it during his teenage years, and then rememorised it as an adult, this time with his own fire and intention. But this story goes even deeper. We hear about his father’s unbelievable journey: at 33 years old, while already a parent in London, he left everything behind to study Qur’an in Egypt. That decision created a domino effect resulting in over 50 family members becoming Huffadh. 👉 Join Our Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/freshlygrounded 📧 Freshly Grounded Newsletter: https://tribe.freshlygrounded.com/subscribe 💪 Buy The Game: https://shop.freshlygrounded.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ✉️ Contact Us • Instagram: http://instagram.com/Freshly_Grounded • E-mail: [email protected] ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ The views expressed by our guests do not necessarily reflect the views of Freshly Grounded or its hosts.

👉 LIVE EVENT TIX: https://fg.live This is one of the most personal episodes of Freshly Grounded I’ve ever recorded. Idris Shah isn’t just my guest — he’s been one of the most important people in my life for the past 12 years. He was my very first friend when I started practicing Islam.

In this episode, we talk about how we met during itikaf, how he helped me through some of my darkest moments, how his recitation inspired me, how we became family, neighbours, and lifelong brothers. We also dive into his incredible journey of memorizing the Qur’an, earning his ijazah, and the lessons he’s taught me about patience, humility, and reliance on Allah. This is more than just a conversation.
