What does it actually take to find the right person, and are most Muslims approaching it completely backwards? In this OnePath Podcast, relationship coach Hannah El-Gashingi joins us for an honest, Sharia-grounded conversation on love, marriage readiness, and what nobody teaches Muslim singles before they start looking.
We cover the red and green flag mentality and why it misses the point entirely, what Islamic personal development actually looks like before you enter the marriage process, the five topics every Muslim should discuss when getting to know a potential spouse, how to handle the social pressure of still being single in your 30s, and the real difference between planning a wedding and building a marriage.
Hannah also shares her own deeply personal journey, including losing her mother before finding her husband, the grey jumper she bought for a man she had never met, and how shifting from dua made in despair to dua made with hope changed everything for her.
Hannah El-Gashingi is a certified relationship coach and co-founder of The Muslim Love Coaches, an Instagram platform she runs alongside her husband offering Islamic-grounded relationship coaching for Muslim singles and married couples. Her work focuses on pre-marriage readiness, values alignment, emotional intelligence, and building marriages that last.Support the show

When Brother Dean Mousad received a Level 4 skin cancer diagnosis, he made a choice most people would not understand. He kept working, kept mentoring young people, flew to Indonesia, Bosnia, and performed Umrah, all with cancer in his body and uncertainty in his mind.
In this OnePath Podcast, Dean shares the full story of his diagnosis, his mental and spiritual survival toolkit, and what it taught him about tawakkul, community, death, and the purpose of a life well lived. What does a counsellor do when he becomes the one who needs counsel? How do you stay present when a diagnosis wants to pull you into the future? And what does a cup of Zam Zam at the Kaaba mean when your body is fighting for its life?
Dean Mousad is the Co-Founder and Business Growth and Development Lead at 5 Before 5 Solutions, a counselling and mentoring service dedicated to vulnerable individuals in the community. He also serves as Managing Director of Brothers in Need, a not-for-profit organisation that has spent over a decade supporting the most at-risk members of Australian Muslim society. With a background in senior counselling and professional development, Dean brings both clinical insight and lived experience to one of the most confronting conversations a person can have.Support the show

In this reminder, Sheikh Mohammad Elshinawy addresses one of the most urgent crises facing Muslim families today: why parenting has become so hard, and what the Prophet's model offers as a way through.
Why did raising children feel natural across every civilisation in history, and why does it feel almost impossible now? Sheikh Elshinawy traces the collapse back to the Industrial Revolution, the dismantling of village life, and the rise of peer orientation, showing how forces largely outside the family's control have quietly severed the bond between parents and children. And he explains why no technique, workshop, or parenting book can substitute for what was lost.
At the heart of this talk is a prophetic framework built on three pillars: expressed compassion, reasonable expectations, and early empowerment. Drawing on the story of Yusuf, the hadith of Abu Omar and the pet bird, and a striking confrontation between the Prophet and a Bedouin father who had never kissed his ten sons, Sheikh Elshinawy shows that what keeps children oriented to their parents is not discipline, but warmth.
Sheikh Mohammad Elshinawy graduated in English Literature from Brooklyn College and in Islamic Studies from Mishkah University. He serves as the Religious Director of Jesus Son of Mary Mosque in Pennsylvania, Research Fellow at Yaqeen Institute, and Instructor at Mishkah University. His work spans Islamic theology, contemporary Muslim family life, and applied prophetic ethics.Support the show

Is it wrong to ask questions about the Qur’an? Many Muslims worry that confusion or curiosity about certain verses means their faith is weak. But the Qur’an itself encourages reflection, contemplation and sincere questioning.
In this insightful discussion, we explore why the Qur’an often raises questions, why some verses sound harsh, and how many misunderstandings arise when verses are taken out of context. Through stories from Surah Yusuf, reflections on Qur’anic structure, and lessons from centuries of scholarship, this conversation reveals how deeper engagement with the Qur’an can strengthen faith rather than weaken it.
Produced by OnePath Network, this video invites Muslims and non-Muslims alike to rediscover the Qur’an with humility, curiosity and a sincere desire to understand.Support the show

Over 5 million Uyghur Muslims have passed through China's concentration camps and that number comes from China itself. With mosques locked, the hijab banned, and an entire language being erased from children's mouths, East Turkistan is facing a slow, silent genocide the world has largely stopped talking about. So why aren't we listening?
We sat down with Uyghur activist and journalist Aslan Hidayat back on the OnePath Network podcast for the second time to find out what's really happening on the ground: leaked audio smuggled out of East Turkistan, Chinese influencers caught posting two different versions of the same video, families separated by surveillance and forced labour, and the transnational repression targeting Uyghur communities here in Australia. This is the crisis hiding in plain sight.Support the show

For over a century, the Muslim world has been divided into nation states, borders, and political systems that often leave Muslims weak, divided, and unable to protect each other. From Palestine and Al Aqsa to conflicts across the Muslim world, many are asking a difficult question about unity, leadership, and the future of the Ummah.
In this episode of our Expert Question Series, we sit down with Dr. Ovamir Anjum, Professor and Endowed Chair of Islamic Studies in the Department of Philosophy and Religious Studies at the University of Toledo. He is the co-editor of the American Journal of Islam and Society and recently appointed editor-in-chief for the review board at the Yaqeen Institute. His areas of research include Islamic history, theology, political thought, and Islamic intellectual history.
Dr. Anjum is the author of Politics, Law, and Community in Islamic Thought: The Taymiyyan Moment (Cambridge University Press, 2012) and Ranks of Divine Seekers: Translation of Ibn al-Qayyim’s Madarij al-Salikin (Brill, 2020), the first two of four volumes.
In this conversation, we explore the concept of Khilafah, Muslim unity, nation states, Islamic governance, economics, sanctions, and the role Muslims in the West play in the future of the Ummah. This is a deep discussion about the past, present, and future of the Muslim world and whether unity is the key to solving many of the problems Muslims face today.Support the show

Today we discuss Dajjal, Iran, Israel, and the powerful religious symbolism surrounding conflict in the Middle East. As tensions rise across the region, ancient scriptures and end-times prophecy are increasingly invoked in political rhetoric and public discourse.
In this conversation, we explore how Jewish, Christian, and Islamic traditions interpret themes such as Purim, Amalek, messianic expectations, the rebuilding of the Temple, and the role of apocalyptic narratives in shaping modern geopolitics. How are these texts being understood today? And how should they be interpreted in light of current events?
Joining us is Dr. Ali Ataie, a scholar of biblical hermeneutics whose work sits at the intersection of Sacred Languages, Comparative Theology, and Comparative Literature. At Zaytuna College, Dr. Ataie has taught Arabic, Creedal Theology, Comparative Theology, the Sciences of the Qur’an, Introduction to the Qur’an, and Seminal Ancient Texts—helping students engage deeply with classical religious traditions while addressing contemporary questions.
Dr. Ataie completed his MA in Biblical Studies at the Pacific School of Religion in 2011, before earning his PhD in Cultural and Historical Studies in Religion from the Graduate Theological Union in 2016.
He is also a native Persian speaker and is proficient in Greek, Arabic, and Hebrew, allowing him to engage directly with the sacred texts of multiple traditions in their original languages.
In this episode we examine the intersection of theology, scripture, and geopolitics—and how religious narratives about the end of times continue to shape conversations about the future of the Middle East.Support the show
