Tariffs Can Be a Good Thing Apr 17, 2025

Show notes

HAPPY THURSDAY COUSINS!!!!

Welcome back to another brand new episode!

I just want to start off by saying…we split this episode in half to ensure that we don’t miss another week due to our upcoming travels 😅 — we’re trying okay!!!! Anywayssss, this week we came to the realization that CCP has more than one meaning 😶, AI is everywhere…just as we predicted lol, skip to 20:33 for an online shopping hack, tariffs are allegedly a good thing? Sara told a story about her adventure in downtown Toronto and if you’re wondering why we abruptly ended this weeks episode, go back and read the first sentence of this paragraph 😅

WE HOPE YOU ENJOY THIS EPISODE!!!!

They BETRAYED Muslims for Money?!?! Apr 10, 2025

Show notes

HAPPY THURSDAY COUSINS!!!!

Welcome back to another brand new episode!

Belated Eid Mubarak cousins!!!!! We have a jam-packed episode this week! Sara went to Hassan Phills' "This Tour is Jokes" show and it was amazing! Ma sha Allah he's killing it and we're so proud of him! Next we spoke about Salams (a Muslim marriage app) being sold to a z!0 CEO...disappointed is an understatement. With the state of the world, it's hard to remain optimistic and hopeful but this is a reminder to ourselves first and foremost - always remember to have faith in Allah. Everything happens for a reason, good or bad, we just have to do our best to continue to have faith and move forward. Also...Americans, we know your situation's a little bit of a sticky one stilllllll so we welcome you with open arms, I guess.

On that note - 200 likes on this video and Amir WILL run the 5K with Sara! Get to likin' everybody!!!!!

WE HOPE YOU ENJOY THIS EPISODE!!!!

Are We Banned From The USA?! Mar 27, 2025

Show notes

HAPPY THURSDAY COUSINS!!!!

Welcome back to another brand new episode!

Lots going on in the world (as usual) and you know we do our best to talk about the major events. The U$@ is definitely going a little crazy (we're looking at you Orange Man...you did this!). If you didn't think so before, it's very clear now that it is not safe for anyone who lives in or is visiting the South of the border. But despite that...we're still talking about it and potentially risking our security lol but we trust in Allah so we'll be fine. Amir also covered the verse of the week and we spoke about being humble and having patience during tough times and understanding that the hardships and good times are all temporary; what remains is our faith in Allah. As we're now within the last 10 days, we want to remind ourselves first that we should try our best to do as many good deeds to really take advantage of the multiplied rewards during Ramadan and the chance at catching Laylatul Qadr (may Allah accept our fasts, du'ahs and prayers - Aameen!). While you're at it, don't forget to pray for the oppressed people (P@le$tine, Sudan, Yemen, Uyghurs, etc)! WE HOPE YOU ENJOY THIS EPISODE!!!!

The Tiktokification of Ramadan Mar 20, 2025

Show notes

HAPPY THURSDAY COUSINS!!!!

Welcome back to another brand new episode!

Listen...we know consistency hasn't been our strong suit recently, but we're trying okay?! Anyways, we're back and playing a little bit of catch up with yall! How's your Ramadan going? We're now officially in the last 10 days, time to lock in everybody! We ask that Allah grants us all the strength and ability to perform our obligations and extra acts of worship and that He accepts our du'ahs, fasts and prayers.

This week we spoke about feeling unmotivated during Ramadan and how to navigate through those feelings, we also discussed our different iftar routines -- what does yours look like? We also touched on the fact that Ramadan is trending on social media again this year and while we have our thoughts, we're not trying to take a stab at anyone in particular, so don't even try it lol. On the bright side, Ramadan is being recognized and normalized which can be seen as a good thing so a win is a win lol...next step...making Eid an actual holiday from work/school!

We also discussed the Qur'an verse of the week -- if you've got one, please share in the comments!

And we ended off the episode by talking about Trump's tariff war and how to be a conscious consumer.

WE HOPE YOU ENJOY THIS EPISODE!!!!

Stalkers, AI Takeover & A Messy Election Mar 06, 2025

Show notes

HAPPY THURSDAY COUSINS!!!!

Welcome back to another brand new episode!

In this episode, we kick things off with a heartfelt explanation of what happened in last week's episode before diving into Sara's traumatic week...she might have a stalker, anesthesia doesn't seem to work on her, and we reminisce about payphones and our first cell phones. Then, we get into the serious stuff: what's happening in the USA, America's plan for Gaza, and why our latest election changed…absolutely nothing. Plus, Amir tells us a bit about his first Ramadan as a married man, Sara is finally embracing AI, and what we actually plan to do this Ramadan.

Visiting Madinah - Where the believers find tranquility Feb 27, 2025

Show notes

HAPPY THURSDAY COUSINS!!!!

Welcome back to another brand new episode! (the last one before Ramadan!!!!) So listen, we have some explaining to do...

We recorded for about an hour and a half on Sunday only to realize that our camera wasn't actually recording so we were only able to capture the audio. That being said, Amir (our editing and creative genius) decided to repurpose the unused vlog footage from our travels last year to make the video component a liiiiittle more interesting for our viewers (listeners-- yall aren't impacted this week lol).

Anyway, we apologize for those of you that look forward to seeing us on a weekly basis. In sha Allah next week we'll come back with our regular video + audio for our Ramadan Series!!!! I hope you guys enjoyed part 2 of my travel stories in Madinah, Jeddah, Muscat and Doha - alhamdulillah that I was able to travel with my parents and come back safely to share the stories with all of you!

If you're in Madinah and wanting to book the same (or similar) tour that I did, hit up Warsame on Instagram - @aboomvsa.

I Took My Family to UMRAH! Feb 20, 2025

Show notes

We’re back… and we have stories to tell! ✈️🌍

First things first—road trip snacks make no sense (seriously, why do we do this to ourselves?! 😭). Then, we finally spill on where we’ve been, including Sara’s very last-minute trip to Ummrah 🕋✨. Spoiler alert: planning around “nature’s calling” is an extreme sport. 😅

Pro tip: CHECK YOUR PASSPORT EXPIRY or you might end up in trouble like someone we know 👀. From almost missing flights (classic 🙃) to experiencing the Muslim airline struggle and getting her bags lost again (seriously, what is this bad luck?!), Sara’s journey was anything but smooth.

But nothing beats the feeling of seeing the Ka’ba for the first time 🥹, surviving the circling of the Ka’ba, and the actual struggle of finding a spot to pray in the Masjid. Oh, and did we mention touching the Ka’ba and the dangerous side of Tawaf? Because WOW.

To wrap it all up, we’re giving you top 5 tips for Ummrah so you don’t make the same mistakes. And btw… this episode almost didn’t happen. Tune in to find out why! 🎙️✨

As always, thank you so much for all of your support! Make sure to subscribe/follow us to make sure you don't miss another episode!

Love,

Amir & Sara

Sara's Hospital trip of Horrors Jan 16, 2025

Show notes

We’re back… and we’re sick (literally 🤒), but that’s not stopping us from delivering the tea! Sara kicks things off with a hospital horror story that you won’t believe 🏥😱. Then, we’re recapping our live show before diving into our New Year’s goals—because doing a 5K out of spite is totally normal, right? 🏃‍♀️💨

Also, can y’all please make dua for Sara to get married? Like… it’s time. 🙏🏽😂 Speaking of time, we discuss the shocking New Year’s attack in New Orleans and Elon Musk’s Cybertruck going boom to send a message (what even?!).

But wait, the conspiracies are wild this week: LA fires, Trudeau’s mysterious exit 🇨🇦👀, and the possibility of Canada becoming America’s 51st state?! Oh, and did we mention TikTok might actually be banned now?! 😳

This episode is packed with drama, laughs, and everything in between—grab your snacks, cousins, and let’s get into it! 🎙️✨
