The Spiritual Weight of What We Consume with Mufti Hammad Jogiat
Our income and consumption doesn’t just affect our bodies, it leave an imprint on the heart. What we earn, eat, and spend silently influences our connection to Allah. When the source lacks purity, the soul dims, du'a weakens, worship loses its light, and the heart begins to close. Purity in what we bring into our lives has a direct link to purity in the heart.
Quran Study: Surah Yusuf - Episode 12
The plan of the Divine works in wondrous ways. It is of Allah’s wisdom that the matter of Yusuf’s imprisonment landed in the highest court in Egypt. The King now had a personal interest in the case, which would lead him to discover Yusuf’s innocence, his nobility, and talents.

When Allah is on your side, miracles occur, and protection is given, and change happens from sources no one could have predicted.

Despite Prophet Yusuf doing all the right things, his situation does not immediately improve after inviting fellow prisoners to Allah. Instead, he is let down by humans yet again; however, his trust in Allah’s plan and willingness to help others does not waver in the least.
Dear Beloved Son - Episode 11
In a time where people often conflate feeling spiritual with true spirituality, the advice of Imam al-Ghazali is especially pertinent: the correct measure of religiosity is to fulfill God’s commands, not your desires.Recorded: July 9, 2025
Your Past is Not Your Purpose with Mufti Hammad Jogiat
