Haaaappy Thursday Cousins!!! You already know what time it issss, another week, another episode of the CCP! Last week, we addressed some comments asking us why we didn't speak up on what has been happening in Sudan more. As you know, we regularly cover the updates of what's been happening in Falasteen and it was a fair question to ask. Amir shared his thoughts in an episode last week and as usual, we asked you guys to share your thoughts and opinions on the episode and you did. Rightfully so. We read it, reflected and we responded in today's episode. We are sorry for ever making you feel like the Sudanese people who have been suffering for the past 6-7 months were not as important as those who have been suffering in Falasteen. We ask Allah to free the oppressed from the oppressors and grant them justice. Aameen! We also spoke about a bunch of other things, like the gender gap (I'm rolling my eyes as I type this) and the fact that we're going to Australia...actually heading to the airport right after this upload! Anyways, thank you guys for always holding us accountable and giving us that space to learn and grow - we love and appreciate you all. We hope you enjoy this episode!

Haaaappy Thursday Cousins!!! You already know what time it issss, another week, another episode of the CCP! It’s officially episode 2 of the Ramadan Series! We hope you are all having a blessed month so far, whether you are spending with family, friends, or alone, may Allah grant you all a wonderful and reward filled month 🤍 This week, we spoke about everything from Sara going out with the girls to create their own perfume to pondering how Ramadan might change in the next few years. While we’re in the month of Ramadan, don’t forget to make du’ah for all the Muslims who are experiencing hardship around the world and ask Allah to free Palestine from the shackles of isnotreal.

Haaaappy Thursday Cousins!!! You already know what time it issss, another week, another episode of the CCP! It’s officially episode 1 of the Ramadan Series! We hope you are all having a blessed month so far, whether you are spending with family, friends, or alone, may Allah grant you all a wonderful and reward filled month 🤍 This week, we spoke about the steep decline in energy since we’ve started fasting and how it’s impacted our ability to do the most this month. We want to always remind ourselves first and you that you don’t always have to compare yourselves to what you see online. Doing so can either encourage you to do more (which is great) but sometimes it can discourage you and make you feel like what you’re doing is never enough. As long as you have your sincere intentions, do what you can even if it’s something small and in sha Allaah your rewards will be multiplied for you during this blessed month. While we’re in the month of Ramadan, don’t forget to make du’ah for all the Muslims who are experiencing hardship around the world and ask Allah to free Palestine from the shackles of isnotreal. Make du’ah for yourselves and ask for all that you have desired, we ask Allah to accept your fasts, prayers and du’ahs. Thank you so much for stopping by and listening!

Hellooo Cousins!! You know what time it is…another week, another brand new episode of CCP! This week we were joined by our friend Barento aka @Badasoseason, an up and coming ‘guy who makes content’ (his words not ours). We discussed his start to Social Media, his love for fashion and his inspiration behind it all.

Hiii Cousins!!!! Happy Thursday!! We're back with a brand new episode! This week, we spoke about the rise in getting a cat and filming yourself taking care of it. Do you guys agree that this is basically a thirst trap for Muslim men? We also spoke about an interesting video that went viral a few weeks ago where a brother so gracefully *🙄* explained his views on gender roles and whether it’s appropriate for men to be in the labour ward with his wife as she delivers. Not everyone needs to share their thoughts on a public platform where younger audiences can potentially be influenced. We recognize that we have a platform and are responsible for sharing thought invoking conversations and try our best to maintain our integrity, speak the truth when it comes to deen and remain respectful always. Apparently Canadians could be getting UBI to help with the insanely high cost of living…but we’ll see if that plan actually comes to life! And a special shoutout to Yemen & South Africa for standing up for humanity ❤️ may Allah grant justice to the oppressed. Lastly, we pulled some of your comments that you all have been leaving us from past episodes - THANK YOU FOR ALL THE LOVE!

Hiii Cousins!!!! Happy Thursday!! We're back with another episode this week! This week, we spoke about our preferences of marrying within our culture or marrying outside of our culture (p.s. we support interracial and interethnic relationships ❤️). We also discussed whether a couple should go 50/50 on their expenses or if the man should be covering all the expenses because LBR...living in Toronto is getting TOO expensive!!! Sara also gave Amir the rundown on Gypsy Rose who is now a free woman and apparently already a social media influencer/phenomenon... To continue from last week's recap of 2023, we had to give an honorary mention to AI (artificial intelligence) which took 2023 by storm!
