About this listen

An Islamic podcast that breaks down the ideologies that are challenging Islam today, and works to re-center an authentic Islamic worldview.

How do you know that what you believe is Islamically sound? Every belief and opinion is rooted in one particular worldview or another. Sometimes these worldviews are so ingrained in our society that they are difficult to detect, let alone challenge.

Islam has better ways than other worldviews to address the issues currently facing us, from theological issues such as the ways we imagine God, to social issues such as sexuality and gender identity, to political issues and everything in between.

    Malcolm X’s Legacy We Forgot About | Imam Tom Facchine
    Jun 30 2025

    Malcolm X’s dedication to the truth and justice, his love for Islam, and the dignity (izzah) he carried himself with are characteristics we must embody ourselves as Muslims. But that’s not the only legacy that Malcolm left for us to uphold. His ideas on unity and economic autonomy to uplift communities and the ummah are not often discussed.

    Imam Tom Facchine unpacks Malcolm’s legacy, this brilliant torch that he bore and passed onto us, and how we must now commit to carrying it.
