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?

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.

Sayed Morteza joins After Maghrib to reflect on visiting Karbala every year since the age of 15 and how those experiences have shaped the man he is today. From completing the Arbaeen walk and serving zuwwar in mawkebs to working behind the scenes in Shia media, he shares the lessons each journey has taught him about faith, service and identity. The conversation also explores how Shia media has evolved, why talented professionals often feel unsupported, and what needs to change. After years of never missing Karbala, he opens up about cancelling his trip this year and what it means to be away from a place that has played such a defining role in his life.

This week, Sayed Ali and Ahmed are joined by Sheikh Nabil Awan. We began by discussing the vision and mission of Imam Hussain's campaign, before entering into an assessment of the unknown/lesser known companions of Karbala. We then looked at how we use Ashura to prepare for Imam Mahdi (ajfs), and how masculinity and manhood is at threat today - and why our Imam needs real men - spiritually, physically and emotionally. This conversation merges aqa'id with irfaan, hadith with Qur'an, and is not to be missed!
