About this listen

Authentic Knowledge from Authentic Sources - Through our panel-discussions, the Isnad Academy seeks to bring the views of experts on important, current-affairs to the attention of our listeners. In the 'Information-Age', access to information has never been easier, but access to misinformation is equally easy. In Islam, the 'isnad' or chain of transmission is the mechanism by which authentic knowledge could be sifted from inauthentic material. This system is what allowed Islam to maintain a high level of preservation, even centuries later. The Isnad Academy seeks to bring the classical orthodox teachings of Islam to a contemporary audience and context.

  • Unbroken: Mawlana Ebrahim Moosa on Gaza, Resistance, and Responsibility
    Oct 17 2025

    In this powerful and timely conversation, Shaykh Irshaad Sedick sits down with Mawlānā Ebrahim Moosa of the Palestine Information Network to reflect on the newly declared ceasefire after two years of genocide in Gaza.


    Together they unpack:


    • What this “ceasefire” really means — and what it doesn’t.
    • How the people of Gaza remain unbroken despite unimaginable loss.
    • The hypocrisy of global politics and the ongoing battle of narratives.
    • The moral duty of Muslims worldwide to pursue justice and accountability.
    • The urgent need for the Ummah to build its own power, platforms, and institutions.


    This is not the end of the story — it’s the beginning of our reckoning.

    Listen as two South African scholars and activists discuss faith, resistance, and the future of the struggle for Palestine.

  • Umma in Motion - Sami Hamdi Unfiltered in South Africa
    Jun 27 2025

    In this gripping and urgent conversation, M. Irshaad Sedick sits down with analyst and political commentator Sami Hamdi for an unflinching look at the Gaza genocide, global power games, and the silence of Muslim leaders. This isn’t about headlines, it’s about what’s happening behind closed doors, and what we, as the Umma, must do about it.


    From Iran and Trump’s foreign policy to the betrayal of Palestine by those sworn to defend it, Sami exposes hard truths with clarity and conviction. He explains why the ICJ case matters, how South Africa stood tall when others remained seated, and what real action, not just emotion, looks like.


    This is not just a video. It’s a wake-up call. If you believe in justice, if you believe in dignity, if you believe in the power of the people, watch this. Share it. And be part of the Umma in motion.
