As we approach the Nights of Qadr, we sit down with Sadiq Damani for a powerful and thought-provoking discussion on the centrality of the Awaited Imam in our understanding of Ramadan. Moving beyond surface-level ritual, we explore how Laylatul Qadr, the Qur’an, and divine decree are inseparable from the living Imam of our time. Why are doubts emerging about his existence? How do classical scholars rationally prove his birth and ongoing presence? And most importantly — what does this mean for us the morning after Qadr? A deep dive into conviction, responsibility, and reconnecting with the Imam’s mission.

Become a partner or make a one-off donation today:* https://www.aftermaghrib.com/yahussain In this episode of **After Maghrib**, we discuss the rise of Islamophobia and, more specifically, the growing visibility of **anti-Shia hatred** in public discourse — including conversations surrounding high-profile figures such as Elon Musk, Donald Trump and Tommy Robinson.At a time when hostility towards Muslims is increasingly amplified online and in politics, how should we respond? Rather than allowing fear and division to define us, we need to understand the world around us, educate ourselves and remain grounded in our faith.We reflect on the hatred and opposition faced by **Rasool Allah (s)**, how he responded to hostility, and what his example teaches Muslims today.Is it becoming **Muslims vs the world** — or is our responsibility to rise above that mentality?
The Role of Sayyeda Zainab (as) After KarbalaSupport After Maghrib. Become a partner or make a one-off donation today: https://www.aftermaghrib.com/yahussain Shaykh Abbas Jaffer joins us to discuss the powerful role of Sayyeda Zainab (as) after the tragedy of Karbala. We explore how decades of Umayyad propaganda left the people of Sham unaware of the true status of the Ahlulbayt (as), while the people of Kufa knew the truth but were overcome by hypocrisy, fear and apathy. Shaykh Abbas examines Sayyeda Zainab’s historic sermons in Kufa and Sham, her fearless confrontation with Yazid and the Qur’anic eloquence that shattered his claim to victory. Despite captivity and unimaginable grief, she exposed the Umayyad regime, preserved the message of Imam Hussain (as) and declared that the remembrance of the Ahlulbayt could never be extinguished—a promise proven by millions today.
