My Ramadan Podcast

I’m so excited to share my podcast interview with the amazingly talented Sarah Malik alongside Dr Inda Ahmad Zari. She’s written incredible children’s books and you can find her on instagram.

This was such a fun conversation and I’m so glad that Sarah helped to put me at ease. Inda had so many relatable stories to me too, which is incredible because we did the opposite things in terms of migration lol (I moved to Malaysia from Sydney, she moved from Malaysia to different countries).

Eid/Hari Raya is full of big, bittersweet feelings for me and I’m grateful my kids get to share in this joyful celebration.

My favourite podcast is…

Once Upon A Crescent, a Muslim Kids Podcast by Mrs Hashimi. I have listened to many different audiobooks and podcasts over the years, and this is my all-time favourite.

There’s nothing like the blissful combination of listening to Qur’anic and Prophetic gems while watching my little one drift off to sleep.

If you love Mrs Hashimi’s incredible podcast, please support her on Patreon!
