Is Islam defined by men? It’s a question many Muslim women wrestle with—but maybe it’s the wrong question to begin with. Women have played an indispensable role in shaping the Islamic tradition. From hadith transmitters and legal scholars to the teachers of imams, Muslim women were never sidelined by the religion itself—even if some voices have drowned them out. In this episode, Dr. Tesneem Alkiek and host Qaanitah Hunter reframe the conversation, reminding us that while the path forward may not always be easy, it’s always there.

In this short clip from our Deeper Look Series of Surah Al-Muzzammil, Ustadh Nouman Ali Khan reflects on the words of Allah in Surah Al-Muzzammil (73:9): “So take Him as your Wakil.”
We often say we trust Allah, but when we’re hurt, slandered or misunderstood, that trust is tested. The Prophet ﷺ faced constant rejection, insult and pain. Yet Allah reminded him what’s beyond your control was never yours to carry. You’re responsible for effort, not for results.
Ustadh Nouman explains how "tawakul" isn’t passive. It means acting on what’s in your hands, your patience, your worship, your integrity and handing everything else to Allah. It’s the moment you stop chasing revenge, stop demanding outcomes and simply say: "He knows. He’ll handle it."
This is the freedom of true faith, the peace that comes from letting go.
