  • She Recites #018 - ”Everything has a price. When you give your life to community work, it has a price” - Ustadha Calisha Bennett
    Feb 8 2022
    Sister Calisha Bennett is an active community leader, speaker, teacher of Qur'an and Islamic studies and mentor of Muslim women and youth.

    Specialising in Islamic identity coaching and personal development, Calisha has taught and spoken to countless audiences in Muslim and non-Muslim communities. In her years of community service she has helped to establish an Islamic community centre in Perth, Western Australia. Now based in Sydney with her husband and 5 children, Sister Calisha has a wide range of offerings for Muslim women of diverse ages and backgrounds from online courses to retreats and even a podcast via her business Developing Diamonds .

    -----------------------

    Quote of the Pod: "There's another side that people don't see or hear. They think "how do they do it all" - she must have so much support and it must be so smooth. But its the opposite. Its hard. Everything has a price. When you give your life to serving the community, that has a price. My family have had to sacrifice to me serving the community. I made adjustments to my lifestyle and schedule. But I am here and I made this lifestyle choice with the hope that it would give my kids and the community the best start and trajectory in life."

  • She Recites #017 - ”Calling people to Allah as a female scholar requires a thick skin” - Ustadha Khadija Afandi -part 3
    Jan 23 2022

    A passionate young Khadija has decided she wants to travel to Yemen to seek sacred sciences. It's a far cry from home in Scotland. How does she settle down into student life in the dessert? Why does she decide to stay for 5 years? And 5 years on, what are her favourite memories? Join Jumana and Anjum as they sit and discuss the life of a student of knowledge in Tarim, with Ustadha Khadija. This is part 3 of 3.

    - - - - - - - - - - - - -

    Quote of the Pod: "You need to have a thick skin to be in the field of calling people to Allah as a woman. Not everyone will be on board with you being in this space - including other women. I learnt how to have a thick skin in Tarim - in the field of learning and teaching. The spiritual path is about you and your connection with Allah but it is not only about you and Allah. It is about you and calling people to Allah....and you have to have a thick skin. Not everyone will be on your party bus. You will have your supporters but there will also be people who dont agree with you, your teachers and your tradition"

  • She Recites #016 ”I was asked to choose between seeking knowledge or a new house” - Ustadha Khadijah Afandi Part 2
    Nov 15 2021

    A passionate young Khadija has decided she wants to travel to Yemen to seek sacred sciences. It's a far cry from home in Scotland. Will her parents agree? What will it take to convince them? How does one travel from Scotland to Yemen anyway? And whats all this about being offered a fully paid new house?? Join Jumana and Anjum as they sit and discuss the journey to Yemen, with Ustadha Khadija. This is part 2 of 3.

    Quote of the Pod: "Whatever you think your story is going to be, is what you will recieve. Go in search of knowledge with an open mind. You dont always get what you want, but you'll get what you need. You have to be willing to go through the hardships to get that."
