Noble Characters in Search of an Author - Part 1: Facing the Dragon

Muhammad Elkateb is a serial entrepreneur born and raised in the United Kingdom to Egyptian parents forced to leave a life of wealth and abundance in Egypt in the wake of the political upheavals of Gamal Abdel Nasser.  After finishing university, disillusioned by a system that didn't seem to make sense to him, Muhammad began a career in sales by flogging perfumes door to door. He eventually transitioned into the world of telecommunications holding a number of high level sales rolls. Muhammad then made the switch to entrepreneurship and, keen to get out of the UK, began the life of a digital nomad chasing the sun. Among his portfolio of businesses, he is one of the founders of The Single Origin Food Co, a company that supports small farmers across the world by delivering their products to the consumer directly from source.  This episode flows in many directions and touches on a vast number of topics and themes that all culminate in looking towards a better future.    Music by Ian Cattanch

From Scents to Dollars - Forced Migration to Nomadism

This chapter marks a year since this podcast publicly released its first episode. It truly has been a journey of discovery and I, Abdallah Dutton, would like to personally thank everyone that has tuned in and supported me on this project.  This episode is a statement to understand the time we live in. It draws on my understanding of the work of the ancient Greek historian Polybius and what he outlined as the cyclical nature of political systems throughout time. It concludes that as an Ummah we look towards the Crown Prince HRH Prince Muhammad bin Salman Al Saud as a new hope for guidance and protection in this strange time.  Be patient, it is not what you have been taught.    Dedicated to my Teacher and Master Shaykh Dr Abdalqadir as-Sufi (rahimullah) and his inheritors the Fuqara.

A Touch of Rumi in the Night

Given the events happening around us I went back to this piece I wrote a few years ago.  It highlights that the moment we find ourselves in, is not some seemingly spontaneous cataclysm of events, but is rather a product of centuries of injustice. An injustice that on the face of it seems so engrained into modern society that there is no way out. But the reality of it, is not so. And the way forward is not that complex.  We don’t need a change of scenery We just need a new set of eyes

Perfume has been linked to civilisation as far back as we can go. It is known that before the Battle of Thermopylae the Spartan warriors, knowing they were going to die fighting off the Persians, bathed and perfumed themselves to meet their death smelling good.  In this episode, Ikramuddin Zwane, a self-taught perfumer from Johannesburg, South Africa, opens a door onto the world of scent, olfaction and the art of perfumery alongside reflections from his journal of perfumery. <a href="https://parfumsikram.com/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Parfums Ikram Website</a> <a href="https://web.facebook.com/Parfums-Ikram-2280740992174235/?_rdc=1&amp;_rdr" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Follow Parfums Ikram on Facebook</a> <a href="https://www.instagram.com/parfums.ikram2019/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Follow Parfums Ikram on Instagram</a> Timecode Guide: 02:43 The beginning of Ikramuddin’s journey mixing perfumes just for fun and his Moroccan Taxi driver 04:45 From mixing existing perfumes to learning how to make perfumes via Peter from the UK 06:43 Started mixing by experimentation drawing from instinct 07:58 The 5% of perfumers that are artisans 09:46 Three levels of Perfumery - 1st Designer Perfumes 10:57 Three levels of Perfumery - 2nd Niche Perfumes 11:46 Three levels of Perfumery - 3rd Artisanal Perfumes 12:02 The traditional way of becoming a perfumer 12:52 The non-traditional way of becoming a perfumer 13:45 How the non-traditionalists break the rules and the example of the Chypre 16:25 The subjectivity of perfume 17:43 The price tag of perfume and how perfumes smell different on different people . 19:44 The driving force behind artisanal perfumery 20:04 The smell of the Springbok  20:58 Deer musk - where it comes from and what it is 23:11 Ambergris - where it comes from and what it is 26:15 Oud - where it comes from and what it is Out of all the perfumery in the world the 'oud' is the most diverse, basically its like all the other raw materials you can find - in a tree 28:40 With Hardship Comes Ease 29:50 The Ayat: “Which of the favours of your Lord will you deny?” and inspiration from Allah 30:28 The hadith of the Prophet (sallahu alayhi wassalam) on his love of perfume 32:10 Spirituality linked to certain scents and the link to the heart 33:11 Dr Muhammad Cassim on the link between scent and inspiration 34:20 Scent and memory There is a strong connection between scent an memory.

Establish Yourself in the Land - Black America and Muamalat

In February this year, Pak Zaim Saidi was arrested and held in custody by the Indonesian authorities under the pretence of using illegal currency. The truth is he has been on the forefront of re-establishing the Gold Dinar and Silver Dirham, the coinage of the Muslim world since the time of the Prophet Muhammad (sallahu alayhi wassalam) and the only accepted means that Zakat can be taken on monetary wealth.  Pak Zaim was only exonerated from these charges last week on 12 October after a year of interrogations, months in jail and a lengthy trial in the national courts of Indonesia. This is Pak Zaim's story. It is an education on the Dinar and Dirham and the reality of the fallen pillar of Zakat, but it is also heroism in action and the story of a man who has maintained his conviction, persevered and stood firm for a part of the Deen that has been lost for over a century.  The verdict of not-guilty is a victory not only for Pak Zaim and his work in Indonesia, but for Islam and Muslims across the world.
