Ikhlas and Makkah are back with a new name, new home, and new episodes. Listen to our teaser to find out why we switched from Haya wa Iman to Identity Politics, our new home at AltMuslimah and what you can expect from this season.
On my first day of university my father had four words of advice. “Don’t talk to boys!” In his mind boys were the root of all evil and the source of much danger. Although I did not follow the letter of his law, the advice stayed in the back of my mind. Flash forward ten years and I am in IKEA with my three-year-old daughter. She is wandering around the children’s section checking out the toys while a two year old boy checks her out. He conspicuously follows her around the toy bins and finally works up the nerve to ask her to play.
