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!

Sayed Ali is joined by Kazim and Husayn for a raw conversation on grief, resistance, and what it means to remain firm when the world feels heavy. They reflect on how the tragedy of Karbala connects to the suffering we are witnessing today, and why mourning Imam Hussain is not just emotion, but a responsibility. The discussion turns to the funeral of Sayyed Ali Khamenei, the sight of millions gathering, and how moments like this shake the heart and remind believers of the path they have chosen. In a time of confusion, they ask what it really means to await Imam Mahdi, and whether we are ready to stand when it matters with sincerity and courage
