Podcast Episode #46 | Prophet Muhammad’s Birthday
In this solo episode, Daisy Khan marks the birthday of Prophet Muhammad, reflecting on why he is regarded as one of history’s most influential figures and why his example continues to resonate more than 1,400 years later.
She addresses the controversy surrounding Mawlid, the celebration of the Prophet’s birthday, and why Muslims can respectfully disagree about whether to mark the occasion while still sharing a deep love for the Prophet.

Podcast Episode #45 | The Prophet’s Character
What the Quran Says About Prophet Muhammad
In this episode, I sit down with Imam Genghis Khan, author of The Definitive Sunnah of Prophet Muhammad, to explore a side of the Prophet that is rarely discussed: his gentleness, compassion, patience, and deep concern for the feelings and well-being of others, even those who disagreed with or opposed him.
We also discuss why so much attention has traditionally been given to the Hadith describing the Prophet’s external practices, while the Quran’s portrayal of his inner character has received less attention.

Podcast Episode #43 | Was Aisha 6 or 9 When She Got Married?
The Truth About Aisha's Age: Setting the Record Straight
One of the most repeated claims about Islam is also one of the most misunderstood.
In this solo episode, I examine the historical evidence surrounding Aisha's age at marriage and explain why this question matters far beyond history. Together, we'll explore how misconceptions have fueled Islamophobia, distorted the Prophet Muhammad's legacy, and even been used to justify child marriage.
