Zahra Billoo: How to Be an Activist and Fulfil Your Islamic Obligation

Islam and Activism and how the two correlate has sparked many questions especially in recent years.Are Muslims allowed to be activists? And if so, what do we fight against? Can we fight injustices faced by non-Muslims? What about Muslim women?Can they even be activists?These questions (and some of their answers) have often been a barrier to Muslims partaking in acts that may be an obligation to us. Especially with Muslim women where there is already so much discussion on how much we should even take part in any kind of publicity.But why is Activism so important? Not just for our personal growth, but our faith as well.On this week's episode, I sat down with the director of the San-Francisco Bay Area Chapter of  CAIR [Council on American Islamic Relations] — Zahra Billoo to discuss how she got into Activism and why it was such a big part of life AND her Deen and how it helped to not only uplift her spirit but also her community.I can't wait for you to tune in and gain a fresh perspective and possibly be prompted to start your campaign against injustice even if it's just in your little circle!Hit play now!
