Just Pick the Bacon Out: A Reverts Guide to Family Drama
What do you do when your own family treats your Islam like a phase - or worse, a betrayal? This week, Bree Shaaban gets real about the messy, painful, and sometimes darkly hilarious struggles of being the only Muslim in a non-Muslim family. From bacon-laced pasta (‘Just pick it out!’) to ‘non-alcoholic’ beer traps, she shares her most cringe-worthy stories, plus hard-won advice on:
Setting boundaries without burning bridges
Responding to relatives who call the Prophet ﷺ ‘false’
Finding your real tribe when blood isn’t enough
If your family gatherings feel like spiritual warfare, this episode is your battle plan. Because at the end of the day? Allah’s love is the only approval that matters.
