The New Beginnings Podcast is for anyone exploring Islam, new to the faith, or supporting someone who is. Hosts Shaykh Bilal Brown and Amanda Morris sit down with converts, scholars and specialists to talk openly about life before, during and after taking the shahadah: family, identity, marriage, mental health, culture and finding your place in the Muslim community.
No fluff, no holding back, just honest conversation.
Brought to you by New Beginnings, a UK charity supporting converts to Islam (also known as reverts or new Muslims). Find out more at https://beginnings.org.uk
