Zehra Allibhai: Sports, Self Love and The Power of "Failure" Oct 14, 2020

Show notes

Joining me this week, is Zehra Allibhai, and she is my virtual fitness instructor all the way from Toronto, Canada! I literally shrieked when I saw her on Zoom, coz it's so surreal to actually be speaking to the lady whos always cheering and motivating you when you are about to give up while doing a plank lol! Zehra's energy is contagious Ma Sha Allah, and I hope you guys will be motivated to change into your workout gear and start moving after this episode because that's exactly what happened to me!

Joining me this week, is Yasmin Redzuan, or better known as Princess Meenie! Although we've yet to meet IRL, I knew Yasmin would be a true sweetheart, and my conversation with her confirmed it 100%. We spoke about the true story behind her nickname, how she blossomed from a young K-Pop fan to being a beloved mother to her super cute daughter, Inara, our shared love for Seoul, what exactly she does for a living and so much more! Also, apologies in advance for my non-malay listeners as I lapsed into my mother tongue often this episode - I was just too excited to speak to Yasmin! Can't wait for you to listen to this conversation with our Princess Meenie!

Sumi Nasaruddin: Embracing Her Muslim Identity, How Seerah Changed Her Life & More Sep 16, 2020

Show notes

Sumi is like a dream elder sister whom I never had, because not only does she make super beautiful clothes over at her brand 'Olloum', she also shares really cool gems like the Seerah with such passion and her love for her faith and the deen is just so contagious. In this episode, Sumi candidly shares about how she fell in love with her Muslim identity, how she doesn't shy away from calling her business a 'Muslimah business', not just a "modest fashion" brand, but a Muslimah brand, her beautiful life lessons that we can all learn from and so much more!

A Helwa: The Best-Selling Writer on Overcoming Criticism, Choosing Love & More! Sep 02, 2020

Show notes

I'm so excited for this week's episode because the fangirl in me got to speak to one of my fav writers, A Helwa. Helwa wrote "Secrets of Divine Love" - a book that I cannot recommend enough (if you haven't get it, please do!) - and only Allah knows how much I've highlighted the heavens out of it! This episode with Helwa was also the first one I recorded for Season 2, and I was nervous that I'd be rusty from the break, but... Subhanallah, this conversation that I had with Helwa filled me in ways I cannot even imagine. We spoke about how we all plagiarised from Allah as writers and creatives, we spoke about how criticisms are sometimes the best round of applause, her choice to stay anonymous even with a following of almost 550k, but most importantly we spoke about love. This is honestly, one of my fave episodes on TAAS!

PS: If you want to hear more from me, I also write the Tuesday Love Letters and I'd love for you to subscribe. To know more: aidaazlin.com

Malaque Mahdaly: Welcome Back, Queen! Apr 23, 2020

Show notes

I'm so hyped for this episode! It's gonna be a special one because I have the super cool, super hilarious, super amazing Malaque Mahdaly on this episode with me! She's known for many things, Ma Sha Allah, but she first won our hearts back in 2009, when she was on Singapore Idol, and ever since then, alongside with her husband Syarif, they have been growing their businesses steadily, and now have two beautiful children! Malaque and I spoke about so many things - how she moved from the entertainment industry to being a full-fledged entrepreneur, to her pursuing everything that excites her spirit, motherhood, her #1 advise she told herself when she turned 30 (this one was hilarious btw), the whirlwind of her childhood history (FYI she has a Yemeni-Indonesian heritage, so how she ended up in SG is fit for a telenovela), AND SO MANY OTHER THINGS. You gotta listen to it - her energy is just contagious! (This episode is proudly sponsored by http://aaplus.co/)

Imam Bashir + Alia Diaz: A Story of Muslim Spaniards Travelling Across The World + Their Adventures Apr 02, 2020

Show notes

Joining me today is a super inspiring couple, hailing all the way from Granada, Spain: Imam Bashir and his wife, Sister Alia Diaz. I wanted them on my the show because their story is just so beautiful: both their parents were reverts who left their hometowns in Spain to make the migration or the Hijrah to Granada to be a part of a small Muslim community. That is also where Alia and Imam Bashir met, and their "halal" love story is one that is so pure and precious! I won't spoil it for you guys, but from Imam Bashir being the youngest Imam of Granada at 18, to Alia's contagious energy and her love for Arabic, and how they've travelled the world together with their family - you are bound to learn SO MANY things from them, I PROMISE!

Najwa Latif: On Humility, being "Hannah Montana", and her Celebrity Journey Mar 25, 2020

Show notes

Joining me today is Najwa Latif, the popular, well-beloved, singer-songwriter from Malaysia. Najwa, or Wawa, as some of us affectionately call her, is such a sweetheart, and there's a certain sense of calmness and humility that she exudes, which made it easy for me to fall in love with her. Having been a recording artist ever since she was 16, one could definitely tell how mature she is, even for her age. In this episode, Najwa shares more about how she started singing, how her amazing parents encouraged and motivated her and her sisters to pursue both music and academics, we even played a very "competitive" game in the middle of the episode and of course, how can I not ask her to sing in this episode too right?

Ustaz Mizi and I go a long way back: he was my Kadi during my wedding, and it is not an exaggeration when I say that Ustaz Mizi's classes at Safinah are the #1 reason why I fell back in love with the Deen. In this episode, we spoke about so many things - from how he juggles his multiple roles, as a dad, a husband, a CEO, a writer, a podcaster etc etc, we spoke his beautiful daughter Hana, if MLM is haram, what he thinks of the term "celebrity Ustaz", how he became the man he is today and so much more!
