The Journey podcast is a humble effort to document the spiritual path of my teachers, friends and family. I wanted to explore what people's spiritual journeys were like, especially those who travelled far to acquire knowledge. I hope this serves as an inspiration and motivation for others to seek knowledge near or far.

Sidi Mustafa Davis’ timeline follows many in the ‘90s who took their shahada and travelled overseas seeking knowledge. He converted as an atheistic college student after finding clarity in Surah Mariam. Soon after, he met Shaykh Hamza Yousuf and his teachers in California. That led him on a journey to Mauritania, Spain, the UK, Syria, and eventually Yemen with his friend and travel companion Shaykh Yahya Rhodus.
While in Tarim, Yemen, his path took a different direction. Habib Omar advised him that media production would be his path to Allah swt. And so he began his work with Habib Ali Al-Jiffri at Guidance Media and Tahbah Foundation. After returning to the U.S. in 2008 he started his own production agency called Mustafa Davis Studios, which he hopes to use to tell stories that would otherwise go untold.
Today he is in Turkey studying with Shaykh Mokhtar Maghraoui, running his production studio and teaching a full-time film training program.
In this episode, he takes us on a journey around the world, sharing advice from his experience as a student and an artist and how his work has become a means for him to seek nearness to Allah.
He’s met many beautiful teachers and befriended many familiar names along his journey: Shaykh Murabit al-Hajj and his son Shaykh Abdur-Rahman, Shaykh Murabit Ahmad Fal and his son Shaykh Abdullah, Shaykh Khatri, Habib Omar, Habib Ali al-Jifri, Shaykh Mokhtar Maghraoui, Shaykh Hamza Yusuf, Shaykh Yahya Rhodus, Shaykh Ibrahim Osi-Efa, Shaykh AbdulKarim Yahya, Shaykh Jamal Ud-deen Hysaw, Hassan Siddqui, Khalil Moore, Shaykh Jihad Hashim Brown, Shaykh Walead Mosaad, Shaykh Musa Furber, Imam Dawood Yasin, Tariq Suwaidan and Dr. Jonathan Brown.
